Nooks and Crannies

 

 I picked up this little shelf at the thrift store forever ago. It was originally blue with daisies painted on each drawer. I immediately repainted it black and cream and then forgot about it for a year.

A-HA!

It is perfect for little brads, doo dads, what nots, and whose its I use for my crafty nonsense. But this was too plain and needed some sprucing. I wanted it to coordinate with my storage boxes I made last week.

I cut my brown craft paper into one inch strips, crumpled it, and mod podged it on.

The edges were giving me grief so I had to sand them down so they would open and close cleanly.

HMMM, what to do with the little pulls, I really wanted to yank 'em off and put something else on there, but those suckers were really attached and I was worried about destroying a box and ruining the entire piece. So I had to paint them and distress them.

I like it. I LOVE the storage for the little bits I can never find when I need them.

I am really getting excited about this office/ craft area. If you are playing along here, you know this is a "1 Room for $100" challenge. Thankfully I had leftover Mod Podge from this project and all the other stuff already on hand so this was a freebie too. We are still at $92 left!
