Craft Room Storage!

Posted by Jessica Anderson on December 15, 2011 at 9:05 AM

Here is a before pic of the storage above my art desk -


It was great for holding sketches and pictures but that was about it. And as you can see I am quickly out growing my little art corner...


When we were out and about at various antique stores I picked up these 2 old soda crates. 4 HUGE wall anchors, 8 large washers, 2 soda crates, and some twine = new storage!!







It doesnt hold a TON of stuff but it holds enough for now AND I think it turned out really cute!


All in all I think we paid $5 for each crate and then $4, or so, for the anchors and screws. A few huge holes and 10-15 mins later I had new storage!


Do you like?! I know I do!


thanks  Jess!
