Craft Room Reveal!

 Craft Room Reveal! We have one "bedroom" on the main floor but decided to turn it into the craft room with all the bedrooms downstairs. Here's the room before. We took out the carpet and covered with laminate, just like the living room floor.  We had to remove the chair rail molding so the shelves I had would fit snug against the wall. but I did not want to paint the entire room, since most of it would just be covered up again. So I puttied the wall and taped off a 12" stripe with painters tape.  And then painted the stripe a darker gray.  All around the room.  We got this cute desk and cut it down to fit this wall for the sewing machines.  All the shelves packed full of crafting supplies!  And the wall filled with fun gallery wall type things!  The perfect room for creative inspiration!  And most of the time it's a mess anyway!  But I love it!

Doctor WHO week--Watercolor Galaxy Art!

Let it soak into the paper a minute or two. Then start adding color! Dabs, splashes, splatters, whatever! Until it's a dark galactic background! Repeat! It's just so much fun! For the Tardis pictures, I just roughly sketched the image. Imagine how amazing it could be if you were actually an artist... No really though...you don't have to be an artist to do this! Same thing...add all colors of paint! Let the paint dry and then splatter on some y...

FrogTape® Gallery Wall tip and Wall Painting!

This post brought to you by FrogTape® .  The content and opinions expressed below are that of Doodlecraft. FrogTape® Gallery Wall tip and Wall Painting! FrogTape® brand painter’s tape sent me this tape and fun T-shirt to try out in exchange for this review. There are lots of varieties of FrogTape®. Some made for Delicate surfaces, Multi-surfaces and even Textured walls (see this post) . So we have a beautiful basement kitchen. It was painted lavender and was lovely, but not us. We moved out the appliances and used our Delicate Surface FrogTape® to tape off all the walls. Taping off is a labor of love, but makes such a difference with the final project...so take the time to do it right! FrogTape’s PaintBlock® Technology prevents paint from bleeding under, no matter what surface is being painted. We even had a random tan colored wall that was painted after some water damage from the window well...we replaced the baseboard too. We picke...
