MUDD ROOM LOVE

MY MUDD ROOM IS FINALLY DONE!


I GAVE YOU A SNEEK PEEK A
WHILE BACK THERE WERE A FEW PROJECTS INVOLVED IN THIS PIECE SO
IT TOOK ME A LITTLE BIT TO GET IT
ALL DONE!

HERE ARE THE ORIGINAL PIECES
BEFORE...

1 . IKEA TV STAND WHICH I WAS GOING TO GET RID OF AS I WASNT USING IT

I HAD TO TAKE OFF THE WHEELS AND
REPLACE WITH LEGS THAT I FOUND
AT HOME DEPOT.


2. A WHITE SHELF WHICH HAD BEEN GIVEN TO ME


 3. A OLD WOOD SHUTTER WHICH I BOUGHT
AT THE THRIFT STORE 2 FOR $3.99



ALSO I USED SOME OLD COAT HOOKS
WHICH I HAD BORROWED OFF ANOTHER
COAT RACK I HAD WHICH I WASN'T 
USING AND I MADE THE CHALKBOARD
TAGS OUT OF SOME OLD 
SCRAPS OF WOOD 

AND HERE IT IS
THE LIGHTING IS NOT THE GREATEST DOWNSTAIRS
IN MY HOME SO I TRIED TO GET THE
BEST PICTURES I COULD









IM HAPPY THE WAY IT TURNED OUT
REALLY ADDED SOMETHING
TO THIS AREA OF UNUSED SPACE.
AND I REPURPOSED THINGS I WAS NOT USING WIN, WIN.

  26. We throw out far too much. It is always good to recycle and give furniture a new lease on life. I love what you've done with your revitalized furniture. Well done.
