I blogged last week about the crafting domino effect. I needed a desk and figured I could use the scrapbooking storage cubes I had, but I had to free them from their current station in the bathroom. I found an armoire that is working out splendidly, so now I'm on to the desk.
This was pretty simple... I had four scrapbooking storage cubes (I bought them so many years ago, I can't even remember when) that were being used in different rooms for different purposes. I gathered them up, stacked them, and bought a small sheet of wood for the top. After covering the wood with some pretty fabric, I had myself a desk.
I was watching "The Tudors" on Netflix.
There is no outlet on this wall, so the hubbeldy-bubbelty found a power strip to give me some juice. I'm still making peace with the cords.
So, as you can see, there are four cubes and they're all working as a team. Before, they were quite divided and bickering constantly. This is better.
This is my high-tech method for storing my fabric. It's dowels cut to fit the drawer. Totally high-tech. I have so much more fabric, but I have to move slowly or I get cranky. That's just how I roll.
This is such an improvement for my workspace: previously I was working at the kitchen table. Which is fine and all, but when gravy is getting all over your keyboard, you need to re-evaluate. Mostly about why every meal has gravy on it.
The next step in the domino is the make-shift pantry. Stay tuned!

I'm loving that fabric!
ReplyDeleteTee, hee...
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. Why is there never an outlet where we want them? My house is 100+ years old, so I guess that would be why, in my case, sigh. Looking forward to the next project!
