CRAFT ROOM: PART 1

I was so excited to get my craft room started last weekend, that I cleared my schedule (somewhat) on Friday and spent my time clearing out boxes, finishing a few projects and building my storage cubbies. I am so happy that things are finally starting to take shape with the room. Here are a few things that I worked on over the weekend, and if you just be patient, I'll post the whole before and after room at the end of the month!!!

This is my Magnet Board that I constructed super easily and mega cheaply! I bought a magnetic cork board and covered it with fabric and attached ribbon for the design. The bow in the middle is actually connected to a ribbon on the back to hang on the wall.

This is my office tool box that I made that was easier than the magnet board. You see, I am all about easy crafts that require no work or machinery. Maybe one day I'll actually be crafty! Anyway, I took a bead container from Hobby Lobby, wrapped it in ribbon, traced out scrapbook paper on the top and then attached the letters. I am still trying to figure out what to put on the other side but you get the idea. I filled the inside sections with office supplies.

Push pins, brads, paper clips, rubber bands etc.

Each year I ask my entire family when their birthday's are, and every year I write them down just to lose for the next year. So, instead I made this calendar (help from eighteen25) that you can write all the birthday's on and keep every year! I decorated the bottom of all the pages with coordinating monthly scrapbook paper, and now I will be able to use them and add to them every year. YAY! I put them into a boxed clipboard so all the pages are kept safe.

Ok, so if you thought the above items were easy, then check this out. Here is my Things To Do list that I printed from (eighteen25) and put inside a frame. All you need are dry erase markers and you can make your lists on the glass. I am the princess, next to my mom the Queen, of writing To Do Lists on paper and then hoarding them all. I have things written on paper all over my house of things that I need to get done and quite frankly it is ridiculous! So, this way I save trees and keep my house clean.

I finally put together the IKEA cubby unit (which was on sale) and filled it with lime green boxes for storage. I am in the middle of emptying out the old and haggard containers that my crafts reside in now and using these instead. Thanks Sweets for helping carry this up the stairs and with the assembly process...

 Slowly, my room is coming together and I can't wait for the finished product. I think y'all will love it...I hope!
