I recently gave our youngest daughters little table & chair set away and we were left with a blank space that needed a little something. I was "THIS" close to purchasing a console cabinet for the space. I was looking for storage for all of her craft supplies while also providing a table top for decor or serving wine etc when hosting a party. Instead of spending almost $500 on that console, I came up with this idea and with help from my husband, it worked out just right.....We had everything we needed except the decorative trim so it was almost a no cost project!!
 |
| BEFORE: Blank wall/space |
 |
| My husband added 2 MDF shelves, one for storage and one for the console top that I painted with some Annie Sloan Old White |
 |
| I used what containers we had for storing all of her craft & school supplies. |
 |
| After the paint dried, I made a pleatedd skirt out of drop cloth to hide the "mess/storage" |
 |
| TADA!!!...COMPLETE!! |
 |
| A little Christmas decor... |
 |
| I hot glued trim to hide the staples... |

| Loving my Trader Joe's Rosemary tree!! |
That's brilliant!
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea. And you know, because of your heat registers a purchased piece would have set away from the wall quite a bit. This way you have skirted that problem (pun intended) and it works beautifully and looks great- Perfect solution- xo Diana

ReplyDeleteThat turned out fantastic.I love your tabletop decor too. This week is the HOLIDAY knock off copy cat challenge? Is this your copy cat? I just want to keep the party in line with what it is. This is my second annual holiday knock off decor party:)
