Wrapping Paper Storage Between the Floors of the House DIY!

 Wrapping Paper Storage Between the Floors of the House DIY! Look at what I got for Christmas!  I wanted to have a better way to store long tubes of wrapping paper, rolls of fabric...and anything else on a roll.  My husband designed this genius hack that works if you have a basement. First he cut the drywall between the upstairs and downstairs floor joists and between the floor of the upstairs and ceiling of the downstairs.  Because we have open ceilings in the basement, it made this super simple.  Great project for an unfinished basement too. Then he built a floor and back, just like a 3 foot long cubby.  Then he covered the inside with some old flooring from our house remodel.  He framed out the edges with some pine to make everything smooth and clean looking.  Now I can store all the wrapping paper and other long-hard-to-store items. What's between your floors?  Super happy about this! Like, Pin and Share! ...

Peacock Door Home Exterior Water Filter Living Room Bathroom Craft Room Kitchen Anyway, the front door was amazing but in terrible shape. The varnish was crusty and sharp. There were big gashes from dog claws. There was fading and chipping...ugly distressed. The door is awesome and I knew I didn't want to paint it...but it needed help. I love the Medusa Knocker and the little wrought iron glass window! It's so cool and gives the house so much character. I went off to a Calligraphy conpendium for a day of lettering and crafting with my daughter. And my husband and boys set off to impress us with their skills. They took the door off the hinges...removed the knocker, knobs, etc and set off to work. They used paint and epoxy rem...
