Getting my craft on. :)


Hey everybody! So you've probably noticed I havn't been posting much lately. The reason for that is I am between studio spaces at the moment. So with the lack of an outlet for my artistic cravings Ive been attacking my apartment. I love to DIY things, especially small scale construction type projects. So I figured I would share what Ive been up to. This first pic is a storage solution. It was a really easy quick project and I think it looks great if I do say so myself. lol. So here's the before and after. :)

Horribly fugly, right?



And voila! Build a fabric room divider real quick and hide all my extra crap! lol. And since it's a classic black and white damask pattern it works with all my vintage furniture without being stuffy.




So boring and blah before. Add some creative arranging, art, and an antique headboard and its a hundred times better.


This is the living room as well. This my collage of stuff I've assembled on and around my biggest bookcase. I like to think of it as an art nerd montage...

I love doing stuff like this. Building and combining an unusual combination of things to make something layered and eye-catching and interesting. Next post will probably be me building a custom tufted headboard. Yay! :D
