I painted the craft room/guest room last summer. Then I lost steam on this room and let DIY fear take over when it came to making over the current furniture. That fear stalled the project until I got a little help from a friend.

$500 Spring Cash Giveaway! *closeed*
This weekend I spent quality time at my home away from home - the home improvement store. I needed supplies to start the projects I planned to do when it was warm to get me through the Cabin Fever Winter of Our Discontent.
Besides supplies, time, and warm weather to work outside, you do know what else helps when you want to start a project?
MONEY.
And I hope to give it TO YOU.

11 Painted Desk Makeovers
I’m finally on a roll when it comes to decorating the craft room guest room. The general color scheme is falling into place. The decorating style is gelling into Whimsy Retro Fun.
I don’t know if Whimsy Retro Fun is a real world legitimate design style but it is in LisaLand and that’s what counts.
A friend gave me her childhood student desk when she moved. I took it to use as a sewing table until I was ready to buy a real sewing machine cabinet. One of the surprising of being pint size, is I later realized that the student desk fits me better than a big girl sewing table. Instead of replacing the desk, I put that money towards bigger and better and not sewing machine table things.
Years later the desk doesn’t need replacing but it could use a redo. I poked around for furniture makeover inspiration and found a bunch. Do you want to take a look? Of course you do!

Wraparound Recycled Fence Wall Shelves
I don’t have the floor space in the craft room/guest room to add storage shelves for my mountain of craft, art, and DIY supplies. What is a girl to do?
If you can’t build out build up.
Instead of adding artwork to the wall above my craft and sewing tables, I put that wall to work with a set of shelves that wrap around the walls.

How to Make a Petal Skirt Craft Apron
Spilling food, paint, and random beverages on myself is my superpower. It has been all of my life. Lucky Me!
I ruined more clothes than I should because only until recently did I clue in that aprons protect clothing from spillage and splotches. Smart > me.

I made this craft apron longer in the front and sides because that's where most of the paint splotches end up on my clothes.
