It took an extra day to get the "extra" I ordered for my drawers, but... I'm finally done with the recessed area!! I'm over the moon at how amazing this looks. Those corners I got for the drawers were perfect. They give the space that little extra I wanted and they do so much to… Continue reading Craft Room Project: Recessed Area Completed!!

Not a whole lot of progress today. Between MC needing quiet because of a test, me needing breaks to record dance for BG, and my desire for "a little something extra" on the drawers, there wasn't a lot I could get done today. I did finish cutting all my side pieces for the rest of… Continue reading Craft Room Project: Recessed Area Outer Trim Finish

I have to squeal just a little bit here because that drawer looks awesome! The final front look isn't exactly what I wanted because the trim piece I wanted to add interferes with the pull, so I left it off and there probably shouldn't be quite as big of a gap on that, but even… Continue reading Craft Room Project: Recessed Area Start of Drawers

Yesterday kind of felt like a waste even though it wasn't. It was a whole lot of 5 minutes of adding wood filler followed by hours waiting for it to dry hard enough for me to sand it down. Normally, you really don't have to wait that long, but there were areas where I had… Continue reading Craft Room Project: More Painting And Prep Work

Just almost there! Everything is painted, put back together and nailed into place. I've got all the gaps either caulked up or filled with wood filler. There will be some work to get a couple of those areas cleaned up and leveled out because I think a couple of the boards I used were a… Continue reading Craft Room Project: Recessed Area Assembled

Today was a very busy and productive day. Every shelf and divider came back out and got shaved down so that everything sits flush to the front of the space. That alone took some time, but it looked so much better after I finished. I'm really glad I took the time to make those adjustments.… Continue reading Craft Room Project: Recessed Area First Coats Of Paint

Today was kind of a mix of really good and not so good, but still a lot of progress. Everything is cut, routered, and fitting together the way it should (mostly), including the cross dividers for the lower section that I forgot about yesterday. I got the paneling up and attached to the back wall,… Continue reading Craft Room Project: Recessed Area Almost Ready For Paint

Today was productive. I finished the first level with all the dividers today. I also got the grooves cut for the remaining shelves as well as the shelves themselves. I had to stop and evaluate exactly how my next level dividers needed to be done because the way my sections would have lined up would… Continue reading Craft Room Project: Next Levels Recessed Area

It is probably kind of hard to see exactly what I spent all my time doing on this today, but really, I got a lot done. I would have gotten more done if I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out how to keep my boards level with my cutting surfaces… Continue reading Craft Room Project: Slow And Steady

I didn't get nearly as much done today as I'd hoped, but I did get some done. It took way longer to get the new bolts I needed and get the stupid table saw set up than it really should have (seriously, who designs some of this stuff??) I also had a few other things… Continue reading Craft Room Project: Little Bit Of Extra Framing
