So I got everything organized. I got a hutch top for one cabinet, brought in blanket chest from another room, and a chifferobe I got at an estate auction. So now it was time to paint the furniture. I've always like black furniture. So I went and painted the chest and hutches black. Beware it's scary.... Yikes.
So I next painted my hutches a bright turquoisey color. The blanket chest I painted heirloom white and then antiqued slightly. I like the room much better now. The blinds are getting replaced this week. I'll explain the brown spots on them later.
I used half of a set of bi-fold closet doors to hide some ugly shelves.
This is the chifferobe. I still need to paint it. Any color suggestions? I'm thinking white. I got this for $15.
The new window seat already has Mr. Miyagi's seal of approval. Okay now I'll explain the blinds. Can you see the burn mark on the blinds right by Miyagi's ear? You're thinking I got a candle too close right? Nope it and several spots were caused by the good 'ole hot Texas sun. I had dark brown suitcauses on top those plastic cabinets, and the sun reflected off of it, through the blinds I might add, and almost caught the blinds on fire.
So anyways here is my new work space. Hope you enjoyed the tour. I am sure glad I am done. Now on to more adventures.....

What a transformation! Painting the black shelves a different color really lightens the room. Clever use for the closet doors. I like the chiffarobe just as it is! It has a wonderful patina!
I like the brighter colors! I'm sure it feels good to have it all organized...I work better that way myself.
That is some seriously hot sun! Glad you caught it before it actually caught fire! Whew! I love the blue color you used...really makes the room feel like a fun place to be. Mr. Miyagi is very cute! Glad he is approving of the changes. :-) Thanks for showing us your transformation this Met Monday! Susan
Great transformation!
I like the cabinet the way it is, I also just redid a craft room, it's fun isn't it??
Steph, love the look of the new room, I adore the painted chest with the bunny on it...my suggestion about what color to paint the final piece, White! But then again, I love the Shabby Chic distressed look... Great job! Stop over for a visit sometime at catherine's teacup blog! ~CC Catherine

What a fun space! I actually like the chiffarobe the way it is, I think it adds a nice contrast. Great job of organization, and I really like the way you used the door as a screen.
Wow! I LOVE the beautiful turquoise! You are so talented, Steph! I want to go to Canton, so badly! We had a trip all planned out a year or so ago and then everyone bailed on me! Such is life!
Love the turquoise color! I'm thinking of using a few splashes of it in my craft room also since I painted my desk black. I've always loved the black and turquoise combination. Great job getting organized...sure does feel good, huh? Hopefully mine will stay organized (not necessarily clean, just organized!)
