So my craft room was literally pink and blue all over. That is how I inherited it, but I tried to make it better with a soothing blue. Well, that soothing blue didn’t have the drama I was looking for, so I went darker. If color is something you can lust for, I lust this color. It’s lavish and bold. It makes me swoon for my craft room!
Adventures in DIY
Being a combination of crafty and cheap, DIY projects are just our thing. Projects range from hardware hacking to furniture making.
My Craft Room’s Beginnings
I have a tiny room in my house. It is like a closet with its own closet. Keep in mind that my husband and I live in a house with four bedrooms. What do two people do with four bedrooms? Fill them with children? Well, we don’t have any (at least not yet). So we have our bedroom (1), our “SheekGeek” warehouse (2), our office (3), and this tiny room (4). This tiny room was destined to become my craft room, but it was not an easy journey.
Jewelry Box Makeover: Personalized Gift
For my niece’s 6th birthday I wanted to make her something special. Because she is glamorous, I figured anything related to jewelry would be a good fit. At the GW Boutique (ahem, Goodwill), I found the perfect starting point- a child sized jewelry box for $4. Score! With a little bit of paint and time, I ended up with a gift she really loved.
No Bake Loveliness: Tips for Making Oreo Truffles
Oreo truffles are divine goodness for your mouth. There are a million recipes for Oreo truffles on the internet and now there is a million in one (but this one is the best). For a quick and easy dessert you won’t want to share, here are some tips I learned when making Oreo Truffles.
$4 Kitchen Makeover
I have big kitchen plans. I want to put in tile flooring, stain the cabinets darker (or paint them if I can get the hubby to jump on board), replace the counter top, put in a tile backsplash, and install a new sink. Sometimes things in life aren’t the right time, and right now it is not the right time to invest that much time and money into my kitchen. To tide myself over, I implemented a mini makeover that cost $4.00, an hour of my time, and required only scissors and shelf liner.
