Sewing nook re-do reveal!

This project is an oldie, pre-"serious blogging" post, (for lack of a better way to put it) but I thought I'd pull it out of the archives for the

Thrifty Decor Chick: Show us Your Closets Link-Up.

Here it is.....

Last weekend I was a weekend warrior!

We have a wall-length closet in our downstairs hallway. It's a good thing, since there's no garage in this old house. I finally cleaned out the kid's hand-me-down/fabric catch-all area to make a sewing nook!

Moved this self down and added another. Painted it Bershire White from Colorplace. Yes, that's Walmart's brand and I think it covers rather well for $12.00/gallon.

Lovely closet :(

Added some of my yardsale fave items. Especially these gals that were meant for a sewing nook! See their dress transformation here: http://blah2beautiful.blogspot.com/2010/06/day-2-of-sewing-nook-re-do-new-dress.html

Here is the towel rack turned ribbon holder. See here: http://blah2beautiful.blogspot.com/2010/06/day-4-of-sewing-nook-redo-repurposing.html

Creating cute organizational contianers. See here: http://blah2beautiful.blogspot.com/2010/06/day-5-of-sewing-nook-re-do-organize.html

Peg holders and pegs turned thread holder :) I love the organization! See how I made them here: http://blah2beautiful.blogspot.com/2010/06/peg-board-thread-holders.html

Lamp redo and adding other peices of sparkle see here: http://blah2beautiful.blogspot.com/2010/06/day-3-of-sewing-nook-re-do-little-bit.html

Bed sheet turned curtian turned table skirt/hide-all (fabric is organized behind here).

I have to get right and left side pictures, since this is up against a hallway and I can't stand far enough back to get a decent picture.

The flowered material is stapled around a canvas that I had sitting around.

Here you can somewhat see how the hallway side is 4 closets in one, and how this is the first nook.

Despite what I had spent on yardsale things over the past couple yrs, (stuff I noted that I already had sitting around), I probably spent $6 on paint and $4 on material/ribbon/paper. Entire nook: under $10! If you include what I spent on yardsale finds, it was more about $17 in this and that's. So a total of under $30! Woohoo!!!

So here are the final pics of the small closet nook turned sewing nook. The fabric and sewing machine are stored behind the table skirt, but I'm sure they will be out on the table area soon :)
