I have an old coffee table whose top i could use, but I'm not sure how to go about attaching it, hinging it, etc. I saw this idea and this is almost what I want, except I think the workspace should be bigger. http://www.sauder.com/furniture/product.asp?p=473<br />i do like that the table ends up poking lengthwise into the room, so you could sit alongside it and sew with your fabric going down the other side (as opposed to the hinges being on the long end and just sitting facing into the bookcase like a secretary desk). This should be easy but i have no skills and am afraid of power saws...Jessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106620262041679670.post-1838070827672531142010-04-08T16:06:40.009-05:002010-04-08T16:06:40.009-05:00I have a big wood wall unit that housed our big sc...I have a big wood wall unit that housed our big screen TV.

If you know how to fix them, I would love to know! It looks like it was done by the previous homeowners or maybe a really inexperienced handy man.<br /><br />Also, I purchased some buffet doors (the ones with wood slats that look kind of like shutters) last weekend at a garage sale. I know they can become something great, I'm just not sure yet what that something is.<br /><br />~MeaganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106620262041679670.post-17242223761428998992010-04-07T11:47:53.484-05:002010-04-07T11:47:53.484-05:00Posts about craft room storage.Posts about craft room storage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106620262041679670.post-10847069119918790352010-04-06T22:09:49.803-05:002010-04-06T22:09:49.803-05:00I second the closet organization (built-ins for ki...I second the closet organization (built-ins for kids closets with high and low rods so they can reach them) and think it would be awesome to have a tutorial on how to make floating shelves out of old doors. We're going to replace all of our old flat doors (no trim or paneling on them AT ALL) and it just seems like they should easily turn into floating shelves for the walls since they are hollow on the inside. How else could I use them to decorate and organize around the house?Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05685537107177412442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106620262041679670.post-74990904140311022642010-04-06T21:09:52.471-05:002010-04-06T21:09:52.471-05:00I'm in need of seeing items repurposed that ca...I'm in need of seeing items repurposed that can serve as storage.
