Make a Craft Cabinet from Repurposed Furniture
A garage sale bargain at $5.00 is now my new
craft room organization.
craft room organization.
I am always in need of more storage for my crafts and this is going to be perfect!
I made my own chalk paint using a quart of "oops paint" from Home Depot and un-sanded grout.
I added a teaspoon of un-sanded grout to a mason jar with a little water and shook to mix.
Then I added enough paint to fill the jar and shook again.
The home made chalk paint has a great creamy texture.
I've used this paint mixture before so I know it can be
used on most surfaces without priming. This cabinet
was a knotty pine with a shiny finish.
Excuse the iphone pictures, I was painting in the garage.
I replaced the old wooden knobs with new black knobs and handles.
Another piece I had in the garage was an old cubbie shoe organizer. It was made of composite board with laminate, I
painted it with the same home made chalk mixture.
The home-made paint sticks to both surfaces with no chipping or peeling
After the paint dried I lined the drawer and the shelves...
My favorite part was filling up the cubbies with jars, ribbons, and bakers twine.
Perfect for my craft room and the price was right!
