I know what you mean. When I moved, couldn't wait to craft...so I'd buy stuff. When we finally settled down I had 6 glue guns, scissors galore,tons of paint etc. And there's still more I haven't unpacked!
Ha! That's the problem with not being 100% organized ( and who is except on social media?). It's so easy to buy duplicates when you can't find something. Now you can have a glue gun party!😁
I’m the paint sprayers type of gurl, I’m the sidelines steamroller supervisor. Tyft. And yeah hallelujah for wallpaper!!!! Had 9 kiddos and have 24 gkids. As each kid moved out I took over their room for office/ sewing room /crafts/painting/jewelry/junk journaling so hubs gets the shed outside. I’m just a collector curator of 60 years in this house of all mom/gmoms and my treasures. Gotta organize… Cute Story: went to assist #3daughter with her newborn. She was overwhelmed. We’ve all been there! I told her to go in and take a shower and cry, let it all out/deep sobbing, let the water wash away the weary. Then go take a nap. Fast forward ten years, her pre pubescent boy was having a tantrum. She gave him my advice a said you’ll feel better if you stand in the shower. 10 minutes later she goes in to check on him. He’s standing under the shower head. Dry as a bone, head bowed. He said, “ I don’t know mom, this just isn’t working for me.” So much for tantrum #3 lol❤
I was a get to the good stuff gal too but recently I had a shed built. That was going to be my dream “she shed”. I thought you pay some people they build it … done, get to decorating and then crafting. OMG 😳 not so much. So much that I had to do. It’s taken 6 months. Have learned many lessons and worked thru many fears so I can honestly say this journey has been wonderful. I’m not the same person I was when I started and am quite proud of the things I did that I didn’t think I could do. Baby steps one day at a time. I remember sitting in the shed with saw dust on the floor and stud walls going oh no what have I started. I can’t do this. And something inside said just sweep the floor, then the next thing and the next. Working thru our stuff is the best teacher of all. Bless the journey to the new you. 😘
Oh my gosh! So besides the cabinet turning out gorgeous, I laughed and talked to you through the entire video! I love your personality. LOL I think we would definitely have fun hanging out together. I am so glad to have found you here!
Just came across this video. It’s like watching myself. Your love for crafts. Yup, me too. Looking for a way to store craft supplies in a tiny space. Yup, check. Letting the grey grow. Been a process, but me too. Just finished organizing my craft room and closet. That includes a bunch of bookcases (wallpapered now) and a chest of drawers and dresser (freshly painted). Which now has me wondering how in the world you’re going to fit all your supplies in a china cabinet. Still watching video though. Oh, and I also want to just skip to the fun part. Kindred spirits? Possibly. 😊
I love it! You sound like my sister from a different mister! 😜 Spoiler alert! Most of my craft supplies are still in boxes but I have big plans hopefully coming very soon!
I am the person that loves all parts. The creative process of how I want the final result to be. I also enjoy the challenges along the way. Anything creative, I am super happy. I have so many craft/artistic hobbies - it truly shows my Adhd. 😁😆🤗
Oh yes my ADHD makes me a big collector of all of the craft projects! Now I enjoy my craft projects. It’s the bigger renovations that make me want to skip to the good part.
The fact that you can see the contents of the cabinet creates in and of itself a mystery.....it makes you wonder what's on/ in the crafter's mind....what are they going to make next?🤔🤔 . This spurs on another's creativity!!!! 🤗
New subbie! Off the grid comment here but you are beautiful. I just want to kick myself in the booty, because I have been binge watching all of these DIY craft storage videos and @ 26:25ish I realized that I have the perfect solid wood armoire, it is sitting outside in my covered patio, holding random things!!!! A good paint job and some little extras and I"m good to go!!! Light bulb moment! Hope you found your pens. I understand where your are at in your crafty transition. This is gorgeous!!! Mine has doors too but they are all wood and for safety reasons with the grandchildren I need somewhere to keep my things safe and the kiddos too. This will do!!! Thank you!
I am in the process of converting a very large China cabinet into a full arts and crafts storage cabinet so I came here for inspiration! I LOVE the peg board idea! You just totally laid the groundwork for my cabinet's transformation so tysm for that! Love your work!
Not a stalker or a Weirdo🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣 The favourite thing apart from the colour is the Price. They are £300 where I live in the UK. We are waiting for builders because 3 walls are coming down or having double doors put in, so my craft room upstairs is now a dump room for everything from these said rooms. Everything is off the walls and everything not going to be used in the next 4 weeks is in my room. I wish I had thought about it and pulled craft table forwards and tucked everything else behind because I can't get to anything now. The 4 weeks is now 12 weeks and still have no date so I am stuck. I rescued my embroidery stuff and have been making a roll on an industrial bobbin but nothing paper related. I may have to 'tunnel in' soon. Cabinet is adorable.
😂😂😂This made me laugh! I’m so jealous how inexpensive sheds are there! They start at around $6000 here! I hope you get to your supplies soon! It’s awful being away from them!
@@goodgollygal You have to be careful here you can buy a beautiful shed/sun house but some are really thin boards and some are not pressure treated boards. In our weather over here timber sheds don't last that long. Soaking all winter and going mouldy and summers can still be wet and sunny😂 Then the thin boards shrink if we get a good hot spell. All good fun over here.
I’m a “let’s skip to the good part” person too ❤ well you handled your “wallpaper anger” better than I would have- maybe filming yourself keeps you accountable for your tantrums lol. But I really love the wallpaper- you did good! The cabinet looks so good! ❤ I LOVE those pull knobs! 😍
I like skipping to the good part esp when it comes to my crafts. If I'm doing a piece of furniture just for that ....I like doing that. But you are funny! Love your energy and honesty!
I agree with you. Yeah yeah … it’s a process. But let’s just get to the good part!! As far as those creeps- yeah. So annoying. They want money. I have entertained myself having conversations with some- how quickly they fall in love with you! Haha. In the end they really want to come visit but they meed money to get there because of some BS reason. Humorous and irritating at the same time. Luckily I am well aware of who they are. Love your sense of humor too!! You make me chuckle. Thanks for that!
LoL. I'm only half way through and I love your honesty! Okay, watched to the end. First, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving me from ever wallpapering the inside of a cabinet - no matter how pretty they look. You have a beautiful cabinet, and that pull-out work table is great. Yeah, that's definitely my favorite part. ❤
🤣🤣🤣My experience with it was definitely not great but I do have to say I love the way it looks. Next time I think I would use traditional wallpaper instead of peel and stick. Its was a nightmare!
OH MY GOSH I think your great. I loved your nickname for your son. My grandson's nickname is Dino or Kdinosaur 😅 Pens! My sister used to say I had a pen fettish 😂😂
Turned out so pretty! I was going to get rid of our old china cabinet from my grandma, but I may repaint it and use it like you did. Great idea! Thank you! I think I may use the same teal type color and some antique glaze over it. Might be really pretty.
OMG!! 🤣🤣 I am dying over here! You are hilarious! AND sooooooo true!!!! I can relate to everything you say in this video, (my first…… and gettin’ ready to binge🥰) , including your LOVE of pens! I thought I was weird all my life because I too LOVE pens. Thank you for a fantastic video and great laughs.
I was so thrilled to see this video after I watched your craft room reveal that I went blazing by the comments section! I love your style! You are so easy to listen to and watch! In my world, I just downsized my craft room for the 2nd time and did major donations to Goodwill. I have always crafted but in 2005 I added scrapbooking and paper arts to my sewing, cross stitching, crocheting, and other stuff for Christmas, Halloween, and other holidays. But I am now almost 70 and sight-impaired, and the only craft I can still do is scrapbooks and other paper arts. Now that I am retired I am very careful of what I spend. Like you, I have my OCD traits and hoarding tendencies: pens and various papers. So you have just a touch of OCD and you have to just enjoy it. I like fine-point colorful pens and those are my OCD and hubby frequently makes a comment about why I need more pens. I toss it back to him. "Better this 16.99 for 30 pens than other pens that are $5 each!". meaning I can use the 16.99 for 30 pens instead of getting the same colors at $5 each. It helps him put it in perspective. I gave him a lecture on dye-based inks as opposed to water-based inks so he walks the other way if I am carrying an ink pad. He's the same way with tools and fixing things! I am so glad I found you. I have watched other craft room videos and they are all glitzy and pink or monochrome black and white with huge Kallax from IKEA and a thousand dollars worth of lights. I had to invest in Ott lights and bulbs, but they weren't expensive as I shop at Joann's or Michaels or Habbo Lobby for clearance and I haven't replaced a single Ott light bulb since 2005. They can heat up a room which is not great in AZ but I have an overhead fan and central air. I found a refurbished 5 CD player on eBay for $20 and I filled it with The Beach Boys, Enya, and Dido. Your son is so cute.... bbfn karen
Oh I’m so glad you like my videos! Yes I get the pen obsession and love your justification you use to your hubby. I need to remember that! ❤️ I love meeting fellow crafters who think like me! Thanks for your sweet comment and for watching my videos!
You and Husband did a Fantastic job! TY ; I inherited my Mom's ! And it was just knick knacks all jacked up in it! Glass shelves that aren't that durable except for light weight items; but now thanks to your awesome skills and thought process I m possible! Sweet! Love you saying your 70 's thoughts,lol.I am 70 and people lol think I look cute and kid size! I love your video's and your head bands please tell me we're you get them ! XOXO TO U AND family! Sharon in Ohio! Prayers you find your pens! Look in a big purse ; or something you would use for safe keeping ; hope that hint works for you! Peace; Love; and Hope! ❤😊😮
Sharon ♥️ Thank you! I actually did find my pens in a box in our garage! Thank you! As for my headbands some are from jcrew and some from Amazon. I’ll try to find you the links.
Lol I am definitely a look for my readers and they are on top of my head kind of lady. Just discovered your channel and I'm binging. You are so my type of Crafter... relatable, realistic, funny and talented. I'm split on get to the good part and do all the steps, it depends on the project and how I'm feeling (chronic migraines).
I was so happy to see this post! I want to work on my studio and organize, however I don’t want everything matchy-matchy! Also you are so right about the cost of hutches(and armoires). You did a beautiful job on your DIY❤️
FANTASTIC! LOVE the wallpaper, even if it was vexing. I like the IDEA of being all careful and meticulous (like Bernadette Banner). . . and I am totally not. Good luck on finding your pens--I feel your pain!
You are so clever! Favorite thing is the color or could be the wallpaper choice OR all the inside build out...... just can't choose favorite. It is awesome!
I love the way you bounce back and just make it work. To me if feels heartbreaking to move after you just finished that wonderful new craft room. I freakin love your new craft cabinet! Genius!
Can I borrow your husband. I am 73. I just switched my craftroom which was the master bedroom to a 10x7 room which is where I used to sleep. I'm a card maker. What a mess. I saw your 8x8 room video and know how hard this is. Beautiful makeover on the cabinet.
You made your own Dreambox 😁 I think I'm a hybrid. I don't really like or enjoy the prep stuffs most times, but I know it will make the fun funner with not having the "I wish I woulda done xxx right". At the end of the day, it's all good 😎
We took our entertainment armoire and put it into my craft room. What a great storage space! In the tv space we placed a shoe caddy and added even more storage area.
I must admit I dont like the process of preparing surfaces to paint either. The thing I most like about your craft cabinet is the ingenious work surface pull out. Love your sense of humour. Thanks xxx
I have a China Cabinet I want to refinish. What a great idea to use it for crafts. I have a whole craft room that is a huge disaster. BTW. I live in MARYVILLE TN close to the smokies. 😊
You should totally use your cabinet for crafts. It’s such. Great way to store your supplies! Hope you guys were okay during the hurricane. Did it hit your area?
I can’t believe you moved to the Smokies! So jealous! Please anchor that thing to the wall, I can just see you sitting there and it all fall over on you 😮 Good job!
Oh don’t worry I am. I promise I won’t use it until I attach it to the wall. I have no desire to have that thing on top of my head and you know that would be my luck! 😳Thanks for looking out for me! ♥️
Can't find your markers and pens?!?! (gasp) I feel your pain and am a writing-implement kindred spirit. I'm praying to St Anthony that they turn up soon. Your cabinet...WOW just WOW. Thank you so much. This idea is exactly what I need
I love your cabinet! It turned out so pretty. The handles are perfect. I hope that you fine your pens. I know when you have something that you love doing and can't find it, you get really upset. Happy crafting. I just found your channel and I am going to subscribe. Take care.❤
Excellent storage solution! When you were talking to us with the blue door framing your face, it made your blue eyes pop. I'm not being disrespectful. LOL Just sayin'. LOL I'm older than you, so my main diy days were pre-chalk paint. I honestly don't like it. I do not understand the appeal. I've never had such trouble with old fashioned regular latex paint. Now I'm to the wallpaper part. Again, never had trouble with regular old timey wallpaper. Good golly gal, next time try old fashioned tried & true supplies. Bless your heart.
You are so sweet! Once I got it switched to the Jolie paint it was so easy but that first paint was not being kind at all! As for the wallpaper, I will definitely be using the old school lady’s kind next time. That thing tried to kill me! 😂 Thanks for watching my video and for the comments! I love when I get to chat with you all! ♥️
I found you today for the first time. I love the projects you do and the casual/honest way you present yourself. I love when you get excited to show us little things that you really like. You are very entertaining and funny. I have a china cabinet that I have some of my craft supplies in but I have kept the front covered with material. I am thinking I should remove the material so the supplies can be seen. I live in a small one bedroom apartment and have converted my living room/dining room into my craft room. I am a little embarrassed because it always looks cluttered, even though most of it is put away in a box or container. It's either that or throw stuff out and I'm not ready to do that. Hope you found your pens!
Hi Molly! You know what they say, "necessity is the mother of invention", and your invention is awesome. Great job. Can't wait to see what you create with a shed. Hope your dream comes true really soon!
Well that was certainly worth a couple of wallpaper tantrums! I am converting a poorly executed closet bump-out this summer to a sewing and art nook and it certainly gave me some ideas! Great job! And I will keep fingers crossed for your She-Shed!
Hello!!! lol your awesome. Just found your video on here and now I’m a subscriber. Can’t wait to watch your other videos. You’re a hoot. I relate to so much lol😊
Omg i love how you did this! I have a cabinet that I converted. Its not painted just went straight to organizing! Haha! I have been searching for a way to do a slide out table top bottom. And your slide out looks like it would work in my cabinet. Thank you for inspiration! Id love to have a closer look at how the back table top works? Is it connected at all or just resting on top?
Thank you! No the back piece just sits on top when they are pushed in and when I pull it out it drops down in place. It’s the perfect height! I do have to lift the back one a bit to help get the shelf started before I push it in. It works perfectly!
I am a get to the good stuff kind of girl too, but also a perfectionist with my work. Go figure. I lose my glasses on my head or hanging on my shirt all the time! I trip on air sometimes too!
A craft cabinet is a great idea! I’m a “go through all the steps type” guy when it comes to DIY. I love that your craft supplies are calling to you! The wallpaper you used reminds me of your mural in your previous craft room. I may have to get some of those pucks. Great video!
Thanks for sharing I have a clothes cabinet that was left at my house by old home owners that I want to remake into a craft cabinet in my craft room and not many have videos on items like this on youtube. I love how yours turned out and love how you showed you added the sliding work shelf I want to add the same to my cabinet also. I'm actually redoing another 1 they left into a vanity 😊.... thanks for sharing all your makeovers you did a amazing job on such a small craft room. And lol mine looks like yours from the beginning right now. I did want to ask how did the bead storage work put in the drawers? Was it easier or just a pain ? Curious cause I have mine in jars on shelves so I can see and also in those bead storage containers then you know how it is with jewelry you have all your clasps, jump rings earrings hooks etc etc did you store them in those drawers too? I started 1 from harbor Freight yrs ago for like all my findings and bails and charms. That seemed to work out great I'm a visual person out of sight out of mind. Please let me know how the bead storage worked out for you. I'm glad to know I'm not alone with piles and blinders too lol my brain works like yours. Sorry I just binged watched several of your videos and I have everything you said in my head lol and girl your so right it's all True
Oh I love this! I’m so glad my video has given you some ideas for your own project! The drawers worked out great for my bead storage. I just pull out the trays of beads and findings I need for a project and then put them back when I’m done. You can see through the drawers enough to know which beads they are. Also, I have to add that I love that you are binge watching my videos! That makes me so happy! Thank you friend! ♥️
I can commiserate there’s some acrylic paint that I wanted to use especially that I cannot find but since I’m an adult learner going back to university to study art movies, running back-and-forth from the studio and things tend to disappear there because everyone thinks that anything there is property of the school
I followed your link to that gorgeous wallpaper and I have bad news 😢. The reviews are pretty bad. Has it held up for you? I think maybe it works better in small doses like drawer liners etc. it’s sooo pretty though that I almost bought it anyway. Love the cabinet!
Mine has held up in my cabinet but definitely don’t buy it if the reviews are bad. When I bought mine I don’t think there were any reviews yet. I’m glad I didn’t put it on a wall if it’s not working well. 🫣
Start by sorting like things and create a trash pile, a giveaway pile, and a keep pile. Then look search Facebook resale or the free listing on Facebook and find yourself a cabinet. Put on some RUclips craft room videos and binge those while your set it up. You can do it! ♥️
I want everything done right but I don’t want to have to do it. I’d rather do the fun stuff after the other detailed stuff has been done by someone else.
I know what you mean. When I moved, couldn't wait to craft...so I'd buy stuff. When we finally settled down I had 6 glue guns, scissors galore,tons of paint etc. And there's still more I haven't unpacked!
Ha! That's the problem with not being 100% organized ( and who is except on social media?). It's so easy to buy duplicates when you can't find something. Now you can have a glue gun party!😁

We forget how literal kids can be. Fantastic story, made me laugh until I cried. Thanks for sharing!
Loved this story. Thank you for the much needed laugh.

Oh a she shed is on my list for next year! Which company did you go with?

Awww that makes my heart happy! Welcome friend! ❤️❤️❤️
This is perfection!! And husbands with beards and power tools are the best 😉🥰
Your white hair does not make you look old. You're gorgeous & it fits you. Love your channel. Real life!
Awww thank you friend! This just made my day! ❤️
Just came across this video. It’s like watching myself. Your love for crafts. Yup, me too. Looking for a way to store craft supplies in a tiny space. Yup, check. Letting the grey grow.

I love it! You sound like my sister from a different mister! 😜 Spoiler alert! Most of my craft supplies are still in boxes but I have big plans hopefully coming very soon!
I have an antique china cabinet that is not being used. I’m totally stealing this idea!
Do it! Let me know how yours turns out!
I found a beautiful, tall $50 Goodwill curio cabinet for 50% off. Couldn't pass it up - now I know what im doing with it,🥰
Oh nice! That’s a great deal! Let me know how it turns out!
I love your comments about the creepy crawlers. You’re hilarious.
🤣😜😜😜
Awesome cabinet. I love the pull out desk. ❤️💯🕊🙏🏻🎄🎁
I am the person that loves all parts. The creative process of how I want the final result to be. I also enjoy the challenges along the way. Anything creative, I am super happy. I have so many craft/artistic hobbies - it truly shows my Adhd. 😁😆🤗
Same! ADHD makes you want to do some of everything but sometimes not finish everything 😂
Oh yes my ADHD makes me a big collector of all of the craft projects! Now I enjoy my craft projects. It’s the bigger renovations that make me want to skip to the good part.
You all are speaking to my soul!! ❤
The fact that you can see the contents of the cabinet creates in and of itself a mystery.....it makes you wonder what's on/ in the crafter's mind....what are they going to make next?🤔🤔 . This spurs on another's creativity!!!! 🤗
Love this!!!❤️❤️❤️
I love this repurposing. I especially like the glass in the doors and the baskets and pegboard.
Thank you friend! It’s amazing how much can be stored in the cabinet when you add peg boards and baskets. Plus it’s really cute! 🥰
New subbie! Off the grid comment here but you are beautiful. I just want to kick myself in the booty, because I have been binge watching all of these DIY craft storage videos and @ 26:25ish I realized that I have the perfect solid wood armoire, it is sitting outside in my covered patio, holding random things!!!! A good paint job and some little extras and I"m good to go!!! Light bulb moment! Hope you found your pens. I understand where your are at in your crafty transition. This is gorgeous!!! Mine has doors too but they are all wood and for safety reasons with the grandchildren I need somewhere to keep my things safe and the kiddos too. This will do!!! Thank you!
You are so sweet! Thank you and welcome friend! You should definitely fix up your cabinet! You will live having everything g organized in there!
You are definitely fun AND talented ❤
You are so sweet! ❤️❤️❤️

X-Acto knife works really good for cutting the wallpaper close

I love that wallpaper!!
Isn't that cute! I found it on Amazon!
I like skipping to the good part esp when it comes to my crafts. If I'm doing a piece of furniture just for that ....I like doing that. But you are funny! Love your energy and honesty!
❤️ TFS!
♥️♥️♥️

I like fine-point colorful pens and those are my OCD and hubby frequently makes a comment about why I need more pens. I toss it back to him. "Better this 16.99 for 30 pens than other pens that are $5 each!". meaning I can use the 16.99 for 30 pens instead of getting the same colors at $5 each. It helps him put it in
perspective. I gave him a lecture on dye-based inks as opposed to water-based inks so he walks the other way if I am carrying an ink pad. He's the same way with tools and fixing things!
I am so glad I found you. I have watched other craft room videos and they are all glitzy and pink or monochrome black and white with huge Kallax from IKEA and a thousand dollars worth of lights. I had to invest in Ott lights and bulbs, but they weren't expensive as I shop at Joann's or Michaels or Habbo Lobby for clearance and I haven't replaced a single Ott light bulb since 2005. They can heat up a room which is not great in AZ but I have an overhead fan and central air. I found a refurbished 5 CD player on eBay for $20 and I filled it with The Beach Boys, Enya, and Dido. Your son is so cute.... bbfn karen
Oh I’m so glad you like my videos! Yes I get the pen obsession and love your justification you use to your hubby. I need to remember that! ❤️ I love meeting fellow crafters who think like me! Thanks for your sweet comment and for watching my videos!
You and Husband did a Fantastic job! TY ; I inherited my Mom's ! And it was just knick knacks all jacked up in it! Glass shelves that aren't that durable except for light weight items; but now thanks to your awesome skills and thought process I m possible! Sweet! Love you saying your 70 's thoughts,lol.I am 70 and people lol think I look cute and kid size! I love your video's and your head bands please tell me we're you get them ! XOXO TO U AND family! Sharon in Ohio! Prayers you find your pens! Look in a big purse ; or something you would use for safe keeping ; hope that hint works for you! Peace; Love; and Hope! ❤😊😮
Sharon ♥️ Thank you! I actually did find my pens in a box in our garage! Thank you! As for my headbands some are from jcrew and some from Amazon. I’ll try to find you the links.
I'm with you Molly, gimme the fun stuff everytime!
Yes!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Your new craft space looks great. Watching your video makes me want to do my cabinet.
Do it! You will love having the extra storage space!
Lol I am definitely a look for my readers and they are on top of my head kind of lady. Just discovered your channel and I'm binging. You are so my type of Crafter... relatable, realistic, funny and talented. I'm split on get to the good part and do all the steps, it depends on the project and how I'm feeling (chronic migraines).
"that's what having children does to you" made me snort
🤣🤣🤣
I was so happy to see this post! I want to work on my studio and organize, however I don’t want everything matchy-matchy! Also you are so right about the cost of hutches(and armoires). You did a beautiful job on your DIY❤️
FANTASTIC! LOVE the wallpaper, even if it was vexing. I like the IDEA of being all careful and meticulous (like Bernadette Banner). . . and I am totally not. Good luck on finding your pens--I feel your pain!
Thanks friend! 😂 Surely my pens will show up soon. I miss them!
You are so clever! Favorite thing is the color or could be the wallpaper choice OR all the inside build out...... just can't choose favorite. It is awesome!
Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️ The wallpaper makes me so happy but it almost killed me trying to get it in! 😵💫
Don't feel bad about having boxes to unpack in March when you moved in October. I still have boxes to unpack in 2024 when we moved in 2003.
I love it! 😂😂😂
I love the way you bounce back and just make it work. To me if feels heartbreaking to move after you just finished that wonderful new craft room. I freakin love your new craft cabinet! Genius!
Oh leaving my craft room was so hard! I’m hoping to get a craft shed soon! I have so many great ideas for organizing and decorating it!
I'm a love the fun stuff too. Prep work is so tedious but a necessary step. I just am impatient. Great job on your project
We are the same person! I feel the same way! 😂
You bring great joy to this old crafter, thank you ✨💖✨
Awww thanks friend! 🥰🥰🥰
Can I borrow your husband. I am 73. I just switched my craftroom which was the master bedroom to a 10x7 room which is where I used to sleep. I'm a card maker. What a mess. I saw your 8x8 room video and know how hard this is. Beautiful makeover on the cabinet.
I'll send him right over! 😜
You made your own Dreambox 😁 I think I'm a hybrid. I don't really like or enjoy the prep stuffs most times, but I know it will make the fun funner with not having the "I wish I woulda done xxx right". At the end of the day, it's all good 😎
We took our entertainment armoire and put it into my craft room. What a great storage space! In the tv space we placed a shoe caddy and added even more storage area.
I must admit I dont like the process of preparing surfaces to paint either. The thing I most like about your craft cabinet is the ingenious work surface pull out. Love your sense of humour. Thanks xxx
I know, I want someone else to do that and then let me come in after to paint. Glad you enjoyed the video! ♥️
I have a China Cabinet I want to refinish. What a great idea to use it for crafts. I have a whole craft room that is a huge disaster. BTW. I live in MARYVILLE TN close to the smokies. 😊
You should totally use your cabinet for crafts. It’s such. Great way to store your supplies! Hope you guys were okay during the hurricane. Did it hit your area?
I can’t believe you moved to the Smokies! So jealous! Please anchor that thing to the wall, I can just see you sitting there and it all fall over on you 😮 Good job!
Oh don’t worry I am. I promise I won’t use it until I attach it to the wall. I have no desire to have that thing on top of my head and you know that would be my luck! 😳Thanks for looking out for me! ♥️
Can't find your markers and pens?!?! (gasp) I feel your pain and am a writing-implement kindred spirit. I'm praying to St Anthony that they turn up soon. Your cabinet...WOW just WOW. Thank you so much. This idea is exactly what I need
Oh you are the best! Yes, I need to find them. I miss them! ♥️
Love how you reused it to fit your space and needs.
Thank you! ♥️
I love your cabinet! It turned out so pretty. The handles are perfect. I hope that you fine your pens. I know when you have something that you love doing and can't find it, you get really upset. Happy crafting. I just found your channel and I am going to subscribe. Take care.❤
Welcome friend! Good news, I found my pens! I also may have purchased some new ones while still searching so now I have a lovely collection! 😜
No!! Missing Ink Joys are the worst! 😢 BUT the cabinet looks so good!!
Thank you! I know, I’m so sad I can’t find my pens! 😭
I’m skip to the good part ….😃😃😃😃👌👌👌
Excellent storage solution! When you were talking to us with the blue door framing your face, it made your blue eyes pop. I'm not being disrespectful. LOL Just sayin'. LOL I'm older than you, so my main diy days were pre-chalk paint. I honestly don't like it. I do not understand the appeal. I've never had such trouble with old fashioned regular latex paint. Now I'm to the wallpaper part. Again, never had trouble with regular old timey wallpaper. Good golly gal, next time try old fashioned tried & true supplies. Bless your heart.
You are so sweet! Once I got it switched to the Jolie paint it was so easy but that first paint was not being kind at all! As for the wallpaper, I will definitely be using the old school lady’s kind next time. That thing tried to kill me! 😂 Thanks for watching my video and for the comments! I love when I get to chat with you all! ♥️
Just found you. I enjoy your videos and I’m a pen person too! I buy them cause they are pretty.
Oh welcome friend! ♥️Yes pens are the best! 😍
Love the slide out table top. So clever 😍😉
Thanks! It is one of my favorite features! ❤️
Looks so great.
Thank you so much! ♥️
I found you today for the first time. I love the projects you do and the casual/honest way you present yourself. I love when you get excited to show us little things that you really like. You are very entertaining and funny. I have a china cabinet that I have some of my craft supplies in but I have kept the front covered with material. I am thinking I should remove the material so the supplies can be seen. I live in a small one bedroom apartment and have converted my living room/dining room into my craft room. I am a little embarrassed because it always looks cluttered, even though most of it is put away in a box or container. It's either that or throw stuff out and I'm not ready to do that. Hope you found your pens!
I did find them! You should definitely take that fabric down and show off those beautiful art supplies! So glad you found my channel! ♥️♥️♥️
Hi Molly! You know what they say, "necessity is the mother of invention", and your invention is awesome. Great job. Can't wait to see what you create with a shed. Hope your dream comes true really soon!
Thank you friend, me too! I’ve been drawing up my plans. ♥️
I looooove it. Such a beautiful craft cabinet ❤️
Love this!
I feel you. I am a get to the good part girl too 😂 I have to watch all your videos now😂
Well that was certainly worth a couple of wallpaper tantrums! I am converting a poorly executed closet bump-out this summer to a sewing and art nook and it certainly gave me some ideas! Great job! And I will keep fingers crossed for your She-Shed!
Oh m so glad you liked it! Can’t wait to hear about your craft nook project!
Hello!!! lol your awesome. Just found your video on here and now I’m a subscriber. Can’t wait to watch your other videos. You’re a hoot. I relate to so much lol😊
Welcome friend! I’m so glad you found me! ❤️❤️❤️
You did an amazing job on this. Simply gorgeous!
Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️
Love your cabinet and all the details. It’s beautiful! 😍
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg i love how you did this! I have a cabinet that I converted. Its not painted just went straight to organizing! Haha! I have been searching for a way to do a slide out table top bottom. And your slide out looks like it would work in my cabinet. Thank you for inspiration! Id love to have a closer look at how the back table top works? Is it connected at all or just resting on top?
Thank you! No the back piece just sits on top when they are pushed in and when I pull it out it drops down in place. It’s the perfect height! I do have to lift the back one a bit to help get the shelf started before I push it in. It works perfectly!
I am a get to the good stuff kind of girl too, but also a perfectionist with my work. Go figure. I lose my glasses on my head or hanging on my shirt all the time! I trip on air sometimes too!
Good job!!! Beautiful craft cabinet.
Oh thank you! ♥️♥️♥️
Great work!! I hope you find your pens.
Thanks me too! 😭😭😭
OMG that is stunning & I need one! My oldest has moved home - my office/craft room is now her bedroom. On no I hope you find your pens!
Oh you definitely need one! Thanks, they have to be here somewhere! 😭
Beautiful. Y'all did a great job.
Thank you so much! ❤️
A craft cabinet is a great idea! I’m a “go through all the steps type” guy when it comes to DIY. I love that your craft supplies are calling to you! The wallpaper you used reminds me of your mural in your previous craft room. I may have to get some of those pucks. Great video!
Thanks friend! I figured you enjoyed the full process. You are a details kind of guy! Glad you liked the video!
Thanks for sharing I have a clothes cabinet that was left at my house by old home owners that I want to remake into a craft cabinet in my craft room and not many have videos on items like this on youtube. I love how yours turned out and love how you showed you added the sliding work shelf I want to add the same to my cabinet also. I'm actually redoing another 1 they left into a vanity 😊.... thanks for sharing all your makeovers you did a amazing job on such a small craft room. And lol mine looks like yours from the beginning right now. I did want to ask how did the bead storage work put in the drawers? Was it easier or just a pain ? Curious cause I have mine in jars on shelves so I can see and also in those bead storage containers then you know how it is with jewelry you have all your clasps, jump rings earrings hooks etc etc did you store them in those drawers too? I started 1 from harbor Freight yrs ago for like all my findings and bails and charms. That seemed to work out great I'm a visual person out of sight out of mind. Please let me know how the bead storage worked out for you. I'm glad to know I'm not alone with piles and blinders too lol my brain works like yours. Sorry I just binged watched several of your videos and I have everything you said in my head lol and girl your so right it's all True
Oh I love this! I’m so glad my video has given you some ideas for your own project! The drawers worked out great for my bead storage. I just pull out the trays of beads and findings I need for a project and then put them back when I’m done. You can see through the drawers enough to know which beads they are. Also, I have to add that I love that you are binge watching my videos! That makes me so happy! Thank you friend! ♥️
New here! That wallpaper looks just like the mural you left behind lol
Brilliant I could do that I think a bit at a time I'm quite poorly new diabetic grrrrrrr be great for my multicrafterness lol 😅🎉
It was a pretty easy project and you wouldn't even have to paint the cabinet if you didn't want to. It's just nice to have a space to create again!
Amazing work!!! Looks so great!!!🥰
Thank you! I’m really pleased with it! Now to find myself a she shed to put it in. 😍
Amazing!
Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️
I can commiserate there’s some acrylic paint that I wanted to use especially that I cannot find but since I’m an adult learner going back to university to study art movies, running back-and-forth from the studio and things tend to disappear there because everyone thinks that anything there is property of the school
That’s the worst!
Good for you for going back to school! Hope you have fun and are inspired to do more new things😊
Those creepers are on Facebook too!!!
I'm a new sub from the UK 🇬🇧 I'm a skip to girl too yay xx Also I have a nutty humour 🎉
Love this! Welcome friend! The nuttier the better!😂
It all has to do with the sanding😮get a palm sander,$20 harbor freight😊 that looks alot like your craft room meral
Love it
Thank you! ♥️
She so cute!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks friend! ❤️
I followed your link to that gorgeous wallpaper and I have bad news 😢. The reviews are pretty bad. Has it held up for you? I think maybe it works better in small doses like drawer liners etc. it’s sooo pretty though that I almost bought it anyway. Love the cabinet!
Mine has held up in my cabinet but definitely don’t buy it if the reviews are bad. When I bought mine I don’t think there were any reviews yet. I’m glad I didn’t put it on a wall if it’s not working well. 🫣
Don" know where you live, but if in the WNY area Amish make wonderful sheds.
Oh I wish I lived near some Amish communities! They have the best craftsman!
Great share. Very creative. My supplies are E V E R Y W H E R E 😢
Start by sorting like things and create a trash pile, a giveaway pile, and a keep pile. Then look search Facebook resale or the free listing on Facebook and find yourself a cabinet. Put on some RUclips craft room videos and binge those while your set it up. You can do it! ♥️
lol! I had a good laugh! Time? What is that?
❤
❤️❤️❤️
How do you paint without getting the paint on your clothes? I can't look at a can of paint without getting spots on my clothes.
😍😍😍
Thank you friend! ❤️
I want everything done right but I don’t want to have to do it. I’d rather do the fun stuff after the other detailed stuff has been done by someone else.
Yes me too!!! 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
Suggestion: better lighting. It’s hard to see what you are doing!
Oh no, so sorry. I’ll try to get more lights for my next video.
Reba!
Yes!!!❤️❤️❤️
I'm definitely a skip to the good part gal 😂
Yes it’s so much more fun! I hate the tedious stuff.
@@goodgollygal tell me about it... we're in the tedious "finishing off" details of a kitchen renovation... calking etc 🙄🙄
I’m like you.
