Adding Fabric to an Old Cabinet
So this is a project that was a project. I purchased a white cabinet from Kmart around 6 or 7 years ago. About 4 years ago I removed the doors, painted it black, and added a curtain where the doors were. I had no use for it after a while, so it got put into storage.
I was looking for storage to put in my daughter's room, and I remembered the cabinet.
-I cleaned it up, primered it, and painted the entire thing white (it's original color).
-Then I took the back to a poster frame, and cut it to the size of the ruined backing on the cabinet.
- I covered the board with this pretty pink fabric that I bought from a yard sale for $.50, using glue to secure it.
-After it dried, I nailed the fabric board to the back of the shelves.
It was easy, and basically free since I had most of the materials. How do you think it turned out?

DIY: Vintage Embellishment Meets Shadow Box

For the past couple of weeks I've been helping my parents-in-law go through and pack up their house to move. No small task, seeing how they lived in the home for over 25 years.
I've found so many things to use for my crafting fun, including this sweet little embellishment. I thought it could go great with this old shadow box frame that I've been holding on to for years.
After a little painter's tape, some hot pink spray paint, and a piece of old scrapbooking paper -VoilĂ - A pretty picture for Charlie's room. What do you think?
