Craft Closet

Today, after the inlaws came and went, I decided to tackle my newest project.  I was going to save it for during the week while Aaron was at school, but I couldn't stop thinking about how cool the results would be, so I jumped on it now.  I also managed to sweat out two gallons of sweat while working on it, so I'm counting today as a gym day! All of the things I needed to do this were downstairs and where I was doing it was upstairs, so about 40+ trips up and down the stairs, I think I have buns of steels and legs of jelly.

So, here it is, my newest 'renovation' in this apartment...

Later, I plan on buying a 48"X20" table that will fit up against the wall and a folding chair to keep up here.  I'm going to use the landing as a craft area.  I think the total cost of the project was $40, but that was because I needed some of the smaller bins.  I probably could have done without the black and white ones, but they were really pretty and just the right size.  I even found a place for all the uniforms, jackets, prom dresses, christmas decorations, christmas trees and random christmas kitty.

So, this is it, Lisa's Crafting Closet!  All the junk from 3 rubbermaid containers, one storage ottoman and countless boxes all over the house, shoved into a closet and made to look reasonably pretty!
