Sneak Peak of my soon-to-be “Happy Place“

The construction/remodel of my craft/sewing room is soon to be finished. My husband and I recently won a biggest looser competition where we made some good mo-laa. My sweet husband agreed to help me construct my happy place. Here are some sneak peaks and some storage solutions I’ve come up with on a budget. I needed to be thrifty because we spent most the money on shelves and an almost finished cutting table. The completed room will be unveiled as soon as my student husband and sole provider finds time to finish what he started. I can’t wait! It makes me happy just thinking about it.

Here is a thingy I found at the thrift store for 1 buck. I knew it had hidden beauty in there somewhere.
With a little paint, paper, and mod podge, she becomes this . . .
And now it serves as the perfect storage for all my pressing supplies.
Anybody else have too many of these?
Make them into this . . .
Simply wrapped inside and out with paper.
I would have loved to have bought adorable little baskets for my shelves, but that would have broke our skinny bank. I have way too many wipe boxes, so I put them to use.
I found some paint-able wall paper at the paint store on clearance. I just wrapped the boxes in it and painted them.
Come back in a week! I’m hoping beyond hope that my happy place is up and running by then!

    p.s. I just saw my link on your "someday" list. I didn't know you were being literal when you posted that in your comment on my playhouse. Anyway, thanks, I'm flattered. It is my first link to my blog ever. I'm very new to this. Have a great day!

    Soooo jealous of your craft room! We only have 2 bedrooms here, so my sewing has taken over the living room. Super classy I know, lol. I can't wait until I have a room like this! Love your ideas, I'm filing away for later
