over the top

as some of you know, i've been working on my crafty room (its our upstairs media room, which we will never use as a media room... so i've taken over!-- see more here)

soooooooooooo--- here are the pictures -- it is absolutely UNFINISHED, and i'm sure i'll be tweaking and changing it over time, but i couldnt resist :) enjoy!

before:

the people who lived here before us used this as a bedroom

and...after:

woohoo! who doesnt love a leopard print wall?!?

i found this dining room table at a thrift store for $23

so, i painted her up a beautiful bright pink

and did a fabric collage on top!

i added some pom-pom trim to the underneath,

and maybe a few rhinestones on the legs

(really, is there such a thing

as "too much" for a craft room?

i think not!)

the top!

I used lots and lots of fabric to collage the top, then after numerous coats of glue, poured a lacquer over it to make it shiny and hard! (and, there is glitter sprinkled into the lacquer-woohoo)

how fun is that?!?

i used a product that you mix two parts together and it forms the ultra-durable finish,

you can find this at Hobby Lobby

it took 3 coats of this lacquer, and probably needs 1-2 more to be as thick and smooth as i want it! its quite the ordeal, but it looks so different than anything else i've ever seen!

i painted this little nightstand to hold my gift wrap accessories,

i plan to change the knobs soon!

and, my darling little collection of salt and pepper shakers

which will hold glitter and beads!

i love it, i love having a place to go and create!

happy "royal wedding" friday!

i'm watching it right now and loving every moment,

what a beautiful bride Kate makes!!!
