While I haven’t been great about keeping up with the Project Challenge group this summer, I was determined to participate this month. With the kitchen winding up, my next home project is going to be getting my craft disaster room in order. I finally was able to move the dining room chairs and other kitchen things out of there. My dream is to have it organized so I can actually do crafts, sewing, and decor projects when the inspiration hits. So, this month’s project material is old frames. When I saw a large old frame in my neighbor’s trash (yes, I trash pick!) I knew it was perfect for this project.

Old Frame

This large frame was calling my name when I drove by a neighbor’s house and saw it sitting on the curb. Just seconds before the sky opened up and rain poured down, I snatched it and threw it into my van.

Last month’s challenge material had been pegboard. I had the idea of creating a cabinet just deep enough to store paint in, making the door out of pegboard so I could use the outside to organize other craft supplies.

But, alas, I only got as far as buying the pegboard.

The idea didn’t leave my mind, however. And nothing too impressive had come to mind for a use for any of the old frames I already had laying around.

But, when I saw this old frame, I knew it was perfect to make my cabinet idea and bring my original idea up a notch.

  1. Emily what a great idea for not only the frame but the pegboard as well! I love that little cabinet and it's just the perfect size for your paint. Lovely job! You have actually given me a fantastic idea for a few little vintage cabinets I have hanging around... hmm...
  2. What a wonderful idea!!! I really need to build one of these for my craft closet, it would free up a lot of space so I could have everything in one place. Thank you for sharing!!! It's good to have you back in the swing of things.
  3. I am sitting here amazed at how you just whipped up an awesome cabinet from basically nothing! Also I wonder why my neighbors never put anything good out on the curb for me to pick up. LOL Thanks for sharing your DIY paint storage cabinet tutorial on the #HomeMattersParty linky this week.
