A few weeks ago I did a mini-redo of what is possibly the ugliest free standing pantry ever. I bought this pantry at a thrift store I worked at back in 1993 while living in Virginia. To be fair, it's little particle board self has held up well. I keep planning to repaint it, but #1 it's really heavy and #2 I keep saying I'm getting rid of it, although it somehow always ends up sticking around. For a short-term fix I modgepodged some adorable red & white polka dot wrapping paper that I picked up at Michael's for a dollar (score!) to the front panels.
Who knew that a little thing like that would brighten it up so much! I also plan on changing out the knob hardware and doing something to the side that faces my main crafting table, but I'm still thinking on those.
I love how the red & white accents draw your eye up to the scrap fabric in mason jars stored above.
As many of you know, my sister, Quilted Cupcake, has such a great eye for color and decorating, whereas my eye is a little, shall we say, off? If you haven't seen pics of her studio follow the link and check it out. It's my dream studio!
My studio is slowly but surely getting there. I'm in no hurry to get it all done. I do a little bit at a time and it seems to work better for me stress-wise.
Would love to see some links to your studios! I'm always looking for inspiration!
Always,

What a smart idea - never would have thought of that. It does really pop and makes that chest look like it belongs.
