What to do with a Formal Living Room. My Craft Room!

**warning, picture overload!**

Before (as a formal living room):

After:










Byron's Desk:










Getting Power to the Island:
I had an electrical outlet added to the ceiling since my house is built on slab. This was way cheaper than busting up concrete and I don't have to drape electrical cords to the wall outlets.



*Sorry about the cat being in the photos, she is one of these cats that you don't mess with when they are relaxing. Unless you want to lose a finger or two!

Resource Guide:

Rugs: Ikea

Stools: Overstock

Cabinets: Home Depot

Countertop: Formica

Canvas Baskets: Walmart

Knobs & Pulls: knobdepot.com (I ended up spray painting them because the color does not look like the photo and I had to order special screws to fit my drawers...a real pain!!) The round knobs are cheapies from Home Depot.

Bulletin Board: Beachbrights

Desk Chair: Ikea

Desk Legs (Byron's Desk): Ikea, not online, vika fintorp

Shelves & Brackets: Ikea: The wood shelves came unfinished from Ikea, not online.

Paint: Behr Black (not sure, but very black)

Curtains/Rods: Ikea (I still need to make these look better!!)

Island: Byron made with base cabinets from Home Depot, Bead Board Paneling attached to the back and Fence Posts for legs.

Anyone want to come over and craft/sew with me?
