Made up problem:
\nI\u00a0 use our office as my sewing room, it is an open room and I didn’t want all my craft supplies\u00a0 to be part of the decor.<\/p>\n

Solution: Craigslist is one of my favorite things, I found this computer hutch made of solid wood for $35.00! ( Why on earth would you not tidy it up before you took a picture attempting to sell it ?)<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My darling husband went and picked it up for me around 4 ?\u00a0 By about 9 this is what it looked like.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Sanded it down really well, and put 2 coats of primer on this puppy,\u00a0 it smelled like cats and smoke,\u00a0 I was not running any risks of it smelling up my house.\u00a0\u00a0 I have used this primer for multiple projects in my house and can’t complain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Next\u00a0 I added drawers to the bottom cubbies\u00a0 so that I could utilize all of the space.\u00a0 I also raised up the entire unit.\u00a0 I built a basic platform out of 2×4’s and then put a piece of 1×4 on the front\u00a0 of it. It made it sit\u00a0 nearly 4″ taller and it needed the visual weight to make it a little more bottom heavy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I ended up distressing\u00a0 the cabinet after the final coat of paint.\u00a0 I know there are a lot of\u00a0 fancy products for distressing, but I go basic.
\nI always\u00a0 just use a sander with a fine grade paper,\u00a0 I scuff up the edges and areas where there would be natural wear. Then I take an old rag and a little stain and run it over the edges. ( I work with\u00a0 one small area at a time) Immediately after applying the stain use\u00a0 a different rag with a little bit of baby oil on it, and rub the area you are working on.\u00a0 It will even out the stain\u00a0 and make it easier to work with.\u00a0\u00a0 Then\u00a0 just let it dry.<\/p>\n

TA DA!\u00a0 A craft closet in a room that doesn’t have a closet.\u00a0 Problem solved.<\/p>\n

Break down :
\nMedia Cabinet\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $35.00
\nPaint\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $0.00\u00a0\u00a0 (leftover from previous projects)
\nStain\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $0.00\u00a0\u00a0 (leftover from previous projects)
