Don't worry it's not bad. No no, it's actually the direct opposite of bad. It's awesome!!! As you all know, I've been selling Mary Kay for about 2 months now and I've been blogging about the same. I have never had a space where I can craft, package orders, or blog. Between the kids and my lack of space my business started off in a whirlwind, but I am glad to say that that is no longer. I have finally created a space for me and it was all under $240.
This is the space I used. Yes, this is my basement. We used this rroom as our storage room. There was some of everything in here.
First things first, I cleaned the space out. I gave a ton to my local Goodwill and organized the rest. I can't believe how much stuff we had.
Next, I went on a hunt for furniture. I didn't only donate to Goodwill, I picked up some great items. I got a beautiful desk, storage baskets, a computer chair and some shelving. Of course I went to my favorite store Menards. I was able to get the rest of my shelves, the wood for my table top, paint and my carpet. They had spectacular deals when I shopped. My final store was Walmart, where I got my curtains, curtain rods and my throw and throw pillows. I repurposed everything else, with the help of my husband and sister.
Here is the outcome.
This craft table was inspired by this craft table I saw at Walmart for $199 (picture below). My craft table was $44 with pieces I found at Menards (excluding the screws to put it together).
Menards:
Shelves $16 each
48"x 24"x 3/4" Board $12
12'x 7' Indoor/Outdoor Carpet $33
Walmart: Curtains $13 each
The pictures below are some of my Goodwill finds.
Desk $14 Chair $10, Shelves $4 each.
The blank wall to the left in this photo isn't done yet. There are a few things I have planned for it.
Walmart: Curtains $5.99 each (panel only, lights not included)
Menards: Shelves $27 each
That gives me a grand total of $235. Best Investment ever. Please post your DIY pics.
I just love this every time I see it
