Hand Made Craft Table

 I have always wanted a craft table!  And the pre-made ones are a little pricey for me.  

So we had a dining room table that didn't have any chairs to match.  I sanded and primed the top.

I purchased two of the 9 square storage boxes on sale.  And the folding totes too.  I wanted to do a red, white, black theme as we are Badger fans.  :)

Once the table was painted - it took several coats to cover it well.  I used a poly to protect the top.  

With the 9 square cube storage under it, it makes it waist high. Perfect for cutting material , laying out activities, or just playing around.

I love it !  It turned out so great.



By the way we left the leaf out but did paint it and it is ready if we need more space for the big projects.

Let me know your thoughts!

 you can see where the leg was but that didn't bother me any.  you could easily cover it with a piece of wood.

Thought I would put together a video to show all the updates I have done to the camper.  

It really turned out nice.

Let me know what you think!

End Table Redo

Side table for in my office.  Old end table that looked it.  :)  Nice black coverage with some teal accent in the drawers.  It looks really nice by my reading chair.

Camper Backsplash

Border was removed with ease.  And I used " Goo Gone" to remove the sticky stuff from the wall.

Then I used sticky stainless steel tiles from Menard's on the wall.  Cut with a jig saw to size when needed.
It looks so nice.
The white spice rack is from Ikea and the spice jars also.
I painted the spice rack white.





I was not paid to use or given any of these products.

Camper Frig Makeover

You have to love this!  All the other appliances in the camper were stainless steal.  So I needed the frig to be also.  I used this great contact paper and made the frig look stainless steal.  It turned out so good.  My friend thought I got a new frig.

Clean the area well - make sure you have an extra set of hands.  You will need a scraper of some sort to push the contact paper down while the other person pulls the backing off as you go.  It was not that hard.

My very first hack!

This was my first real hack.  We started with a pop up camper and it was so ugly.  I made new curtains and valance.  Recovered the cushions.  It made it look so much better.  And I loved the colors.  Easy to do when you use the old strips to hang the curtains.

Purchased decor fabric from Joann Fabrics.

Bathroom Redo

This was so much fun.  I painted two walls and left the one and the door.  It really makes it seem like a "real" bathroom.  Now to re-chalk everything to make sure it is sealed up nice.
I plan to add some sort of storage on the wall yet but need to find something just right.

Dining Area Redo up to now!

Besides the ugly boarder, which will be coming down, this is what I have done so far.

I took the soft cushions and place a long thin piece of MDF on the back.  Then stapled the new fabric around the cushion like wrapping a present.  No sewing involed.  SUPER EASY!

I found this old gun cabinet on the side of the road.  I thought it could be something.  I removed and tossed the door and drawer.  I painted it with white paint.  Took three coats!  I built in two extra shelves and then added baskets.
It is a nice piece in my office.

This old china hutch needed to be updated.  I clean everything out and removed the doors.  It took two coats of black paint.  I left the two middle doors off and added a wine rack.  It really makes the china stand out now.
