Not one to easily accept failure, I painted it again, and it looked a whole lot better.
But then I repainted my dining room and got some new furniture, and the sideboard no longer matched.
So I moved it into our unfinished living room, and let it sit there for a while. I knew I'd find another place for it at some point. I've been working on our home office makeover and knew that I would need an organized place to store all my craft materials, fabrics, etc. since the small closet I have is already overflowing. Ding ding ding, we have a winner!
Jake and I muscled up and moved the sideboard up to the office (thank the lord I didn't have to take it apart and reassemble it again!) and I gave it a coat (or 3) of fresh paint. I chose a great deep blue called Adriatic Sea by Ace paint.
The printer fits *almost* perfectly in the middle and we cut out a hole in the back for the cords. I swapped out the brushed nickel knobs for some shiny white knobs I already had. On each of the drawers, I used Martha Stewart Avery labels for easy organization. I have drawers for fabric, paints, paint chips, writing utensils, and samples (tile, finishes, etc.).
Above the sideboard, I mounted two Ikea Ribba Picture Ledges. It's a great spot for me to display design boards and other projects I'm working on. I bought a few clear plastic display frames (still need to buy a few more) so I can easily swap the design boards out.
Notice that little guy sitting pretty? It's my new Silhouette Cameo! I can't wait to get started on some fun projects! Have a great rest of the weekend!
