Workspace progress!!

Happy Wednesday to you!!  It's been awhile since I posted an update on my workspace area. This room is almost done and I am really excited!!

BEFORE

I have this table- it's actually our very first dinning table. It works good as a crafting table, 

but I wanted to spruce it up a bit. 

So I painted the table top with chalkboard paint. Now I can write measurements, ideas, etc on it as I am doing a project. With some fabric left over from a previous project I attached it around the bottom of the table. This allows me to store things under there that I don't use everyday (like my sewing machine).  It stays out of the way, but still close by. 

The green container on the desk is a place for me to keep projects that I am currently working on. So I used my Silhouette and labeled it Projects. It is amazing to me how easy it is to use!

Here is how it turned out after labeling!  

So this little area came together quite nice. I have a good space to work on projects as well as storage for scrapbook paper, crafting supplies and pictures.

Here it is side by side so you can see the difference!!!

                       
It's exciting to be getting things done and progress made around the house. I am happy to have an area to work on my projects :)
Thanks for stopping by today!!

Fast Project Friday- Taking it To Go!!!

Happy Friday!!! This Fast Project Friday just leaves me sooo excited!!  With the start of school in our house, brings the start of lots of kids activities. We are on the go most every night. So I was thinking of a way to keep things together that are needed in the car...

I started with this small tote. It had some cleaning supplies for a couch that we have, 

but it seemed like a great size for what I was trying to do, so the cleaning products got kicked out!

Next I came up with items that would be useful in the car- Klenex, wipes, lint roller, brush, nail clippers & file (for those unexpected hang nails), scissors, pencil, pen & a sharpie. Obviously you could customize this for anyone and any items :)

Then I put everything in- Yay- it fits!!

Now comes the SUPER FUN part!!  This is my first real project using my Silhouette and it just makes me excited beyond belief!!!  Using the vinyl I made a cute little car cut out-  

and transfered one to the front & one to the back of the small tote

And here is how it turned out!!  I love love it!!! 

Here is one more view of it.. 

My favorite projects are the ones that are functional and cute- so this could be my new favorite project. The items in the tote can be changed out or added to depending on what we need. Things that could be added- small snacks, crossword puzzle book, what ever it is that makes sense for you!!

Hope you all have a great weekend- we have projects taking place around our house and hopefully I can reveal some of them next week!!

Thank you SO very much for stopping by :)
