A Corner of Craftiness

Besides missing a little bit of pizazz, my craft corner is complete!  Any of you who know us, and I mean really know us, you know how we are about projects.  We are masters at starting projects and champions at leaving them half-finished, for weeks  months.  So for us to finish the desk make-over, new furniture assembly, and organizing all my stuff into their new spots in just 5 days is quite the accomplishment!

Let me give you a reminder of what it looked like Friday morning.

And here's what it looked like Tuesday night:

The hanging bowls I found at Ikea.  They're called Asker Containers.  They're perfect for pens, pencils, and scissors.  I think I'll put some pretty flowers in the empty middle one.

The standing bookshelf is also from Ikea.  The boxes (again, from Ikea) are holding my fabrics and hairbow-making materials.

I put my sewing machine on the lower empty shelf and my stack of Food Network magazines on the upper empty shelf.  I know it's silly but I love how they look all stacked up nicely.  I'm thinking a white porcelain animal will look right at home on top of them.

And I love my desk!  I was worried the stain was too light and that we should have done 1 more coat of stain, but when JP put the clear coat on, it was perfect!  

And those knobs?  They look Anthropologie right??  I found them at Hobby Lobby for 50% off!

This was the previous hardware:

And these are the new ones:

So besides needing some accessories and a chair, it's all finished!
