Thank God it’s Friday 
I have had the typical BEST Friday. Not only did little Lyla and I have our #1 man here with us alllll day but I was also able to use my Mother’s Day gift card for a MASSAGE! After the masseuse was finished I felt like a new woman. {Pull out the little black dress and pumps. Let’s go 
} It was spectacular! {By the way, if you live in the Indianapolis area be sure to stop by Massage Envy at Emerson -by the Starbucks- and ask for Tara!}
Let’s get to the main topic: I finally have a craft room! Yes, it’s true. I have to admit though, it’s been quite pathetic how excited I’ve been over this craft room. It’s like… #1. God, #2. Jake & Lyla, #3. Craft Room. Well that might be somewhat untrue BUT it’s definitely high up on the list. I could kiss my hubbies toes {gag. I hate feet. Thank goodness it’s just a figure of speech.} for making me the perfect craft table to go in the room! I was going to do one blog on the craft table and one on the walls before revealing the whole room but I was too amped to share so here. it. is.
{{Heads up….LOTS of pics!}}
Our walls were already blue but I wanted a little ‘umph’ so I decided to add a design. I got one of those sponge brushes in the paint aisle for $.53 and pulled out an old can of paint I had and went to town.
Now I put hubs to work…
We went to one of our favorite places {Menard’s} and bought a piece of wood 2ft x 8 ft, some wood posts and screws. Time to build a table. I gotta say my man beasted it out it like a boss and I was more than pleased with the result! {There is definitely something attractive about a man when he is building! Agreed? }
Time to paint the table and add all my prized possessions into the room! {My favorite part. Eek!}
Dry brushed this beauty with coral color paint…
Look at those amazing legs on that table!
Lovin’ my bird cage!
Recovered the lamp with fabric from a vintage dress…
Somebody found a new play room
So, I would like to hear what your favorite part of the room is?
Have a FUN weekend!!

The beauty you dry brushed coral is my fav
!
Lovely space!
Thank you! That might be one of my favorite pieces in the room too
Loved the split rail desk legs, come over to my house you might find me copying the leg idea. Favorite is Lyla thinking she has a new play room.
Such creativity!! Shows you don’t have to spend a lot to get a really chic look. Love the vintage vibe- reminds me a lot of Anthropology (sp?) I love the wall design- can’t wait to see what you will come up with next in your new craft room!

Thank you, thank you, thank youuuu
Hello Ceara, I about died when I saw what you had done to that $10 end table. It inspired me to buy 3 yesterday for the same bargain price that I am going use as end tables in my living room. Do you have a tutorial for how to achieve the look and product recs? Thanks in advance!
Great! I’m excited to hear that you were inspired to do some of your own projects!!
I don’t have a tutorial posted yet but by next week I should have one posted so stayed tuned!
I love the wall you did with the foam brush! Great job! =]
thanks!
