Outdoor Inspiration

Food for thought...does your outdoor style reflect the style of your home?  Better yet, does the style of your home reflect you?

Craft Room Revamp

I have a few rooms in my house that are ready for a re-do.  One of them is my craft room.  It's technically my studio, but I haven't made that leap when describing my creative area.  Maybe it's because I share it with my husbands weight set, hmmm.   

To set the stage, I currently use Ikea Expedit shelves (turned horizontal) to store my supplies and Ikea floating shelves above (& throughout the room) to display my completed pieces.  

 

I've already transformed my closet into a work area, but I really love the fabric backed walls!  So cheery & inspiring!

If you think you may try this out, I found a great tutorial for covering walls with fabric.

Another inspiring creation is this great tiered tray tutorial for storing all those little supplies.  The only thing I may do differently is turn it into a lazy susan (is that the correct term?) so I can spin the tray.  Love it!

I still need to choose fabric, a paint color and then convince my husband to add some recessed lighting.  That should do it.
