Organization

Some things

I have done so

far in the craft room

to be organized

This is a basket from

Walmart

My hsb cut the dowels
and drilled a hole in the end
so I could put these pins in

they are easy to open

when I need to take a spool off

I had bought 2 black book cases 

from Walmart 

because originally

I was going to make my lg table 

stained on top w black ends

around the edge my hsb 

nailed yardsticks

as I started to fill it 

back up I realized the stained 

top and black bookshelves

was not going to work

so on to plan b

I painted the bookshelves

heirloom white

and even though I lightly

sanded them the paint

did this weird bubble

it wasn't til the 2nd bookcase

and 5 layers 

I realized I needed to sand 

it more

and that worked

The cardboard back on the 

bookcases was flimsy

so we decided to 

put pegboard

and I could use 

it for other things

The 2 roll carts 

are from Ikea

One has scrapbooking items

the other jewelry items

so I can either roll out 

at the big table 

or over to my desk

the shelves in the desk area

were $15 unfinished from

Michaels

3 of them I had my hsb drill holes

in so I could put a dowel through

I will spray painting and cutting them

on the ends I will put glass knobs

There are both drilled and not drill

in this photo

the magnet bars came from Harbor Freight

and will be spray painted

the bar is from Ikea

I haven't completely figured

out what I want on

the shelves

and I imagine it'll

be as I use things

I will figure it out

This area was just empty

and useless

My hsb came up

with the brilliant idea 

to put shelves in here 

and they are wonderful!

I have more plans

for up there 

One is to get better lighting

We plan on track lighting

over the desk area

and a fancy light over the 

work table
