Hall Closet Makeover

Just a few weeks ago I helped a client turn an unorganized unused hall closet into a family friendly mud room. Thought I would share where we are with it :) BEFORE AFTER Demo the space! We cleaned the closet out. The contractor took careful measurements. Starting from the bottom up, he knocked this closet remodel out of the park! Client now has a long bench to put the shoes on, and storage underneath to store them all! Its a deep closet so we took advantage of the depth and created basically bookcases on either side, with each shelf measuring 10" deep by 10" wide by 12" high. My client should never run out of space for gloves, sunglasses, keys, and a hundred other miscellaneous items! Hooks purchased in two sizes allows for a high row of hooks to hold heavy coats, and a lower level of hooks to hold things like purses, the dogs leash and kids coats. The hooks were attached to wood and NOT dir...

DIY Home Office Desk Skirt Hides Clutter

Does your desk look like this underneath? Looking for an instant way to hide your 'under desk' clutter? I have a small work space that sits in an awkward area and accumulates a lot of clutter and wires underneath. After staring at my crap long enough I decided it was time to conceal the mess-in a pretty way. This is great project for renters who have a work space they share with their living room or bedroom. Also works super well for inexpensive plain desks!! With little cost and even less labor, I created a table apron out of a single ready made drape! Now I no longer see the mess. This desk apron can be removed any time and placed back on again because it is held on with Velcro! MY INGREDIENTS: 1. A curtain from Target- Threshold™ Farrah Fretwork Window Panel (or any piece of fabric a few inches bigger than the size of the length and height of your desk will do!) 2. A pack of...

My Morning Slip Cover Chair Project Using Remnant Fabric (no sewing needed!)

It snowed this morning so I had to cancel my client appointments, but I got to eat frosted flakes and make a chair cover in my owl pjs. It was a grrrrreat (per Tony the Tiger)!!! I didn't mean to do a DIY project but when I came across some Thomas Paul remnant fabric in my office a light bulb went off (bing!). I have 2 parson chairs that I was going to get slipcovered professionally but as I held the remnant pieces up and stared out the window at the snow I decided to see if I could have some fun doing it myself. I have never done this before. IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW- I don't know how to use a sewing machine (that is one of my goals for 2011). This was a 'very creative' project (say it like John Wayne would). I used only what I had at my home. I documented it below. If you are up for it, give it a try! There are a million variations of how to do this I am sure, but here is mine: For this project you need: -Enough remnant fabric to c...
