So I’ve lived in my house for about 2 years now. And I’m just getting around to my craft room. Blog fail, much?? It’s been serving it’s purpose to me daily by housing my craft supplies so no harm done, but now it’ll serve that same purpose and will be appealing to the eyes. Finally. I love how the built in bookcase turned out. I’m a huge fan of all things vintage. If you were to take a screenshot of our Pinterest boards, you would see all white and light colored tones mixed with old and new, lots of mason jars and lots of character. But I love color too!! Nothing too bold like lime green but I simply adore mustard yellow and all shades of aqua and turquoise. This herringbone bookcase is so totally ME. It’s got custom rustic crates, my grandmother’s suitcases, old crates I’ve been collecting at sales, my mom’s 30 year old mason jars and a few modern pieces of decor that I’ve found here and there over the past 11 years of married life.
Love the fun accessories! If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have seen so many #craftroommakeover hash tags over the past couple of months. It probably seems like I’ve drug my feet taking so long to complete this bookcase but collecting the storage items was the time consuming part. I definitely wanted a vintage vibe with legit vintage pieces. Many of them are older than me, mission accomplished.
A little close up, made that burlap and doily bunting, tutorial on the link. Click for the crate tutorial too!
The right side close up. I use most of these knick knacks for staging in my other pictures. And they’re just pretty to look at and inspire me when I’m in this room that’s all my own! The HOME frame is from Ikea, it was a gift from Steph/Somewhat Simple elephant exchange, the yellow bird and white cake stand are from HomeGoods, the urns are from Ross, the green bird is from a grocery store floral department, the set of owls are from Kirklands, the vintage owl with yellow eyes was $1 at Goodwill, the soda crate was a gift from my older sis Sandee from World Market and the little brown owl on top of my paper cutter and scale is from Down East Home!
Isn’t this a great background?? I love the clean lines of the herringbone. I recycled the paint from my great grandmother’s 100 year old buffet turned tv stand makeover. This mini suitcase matches my bigger green suitcase exactly, that was a pure coincidence. While garage saleing with my bestie, Marni, I spied this case and had to have it. Only I was short the $5 tag so Marn bought it for me. Thanks, girl! Notice the “Big A– Book of Crafts” book is washi tape’d over?? My kids knew it was a cuss word so I had to hide it, lol!
Mmmm…love me some mason jars + bakers twine! Great ribbon storage and the bakers twine is a fun touch. I actually dug these jars out of my attic where my mom had stored them when I was a baby! They needed a thorough cleaning! I bought the lids at Walmart, maybe I’ll paint them someday? Love that they have history and they’re pretty to look at.
The other mason jars house the rest of my random crafts, glitter bottles, washi tape, buttons, glue sticks, etc. And these small truly vintage crates are perfect for my everyday acrylic paints and bakers twine hoard!
My bigger crates house the rest of my acrylic paint stash, yes, it’s full. No, I’m not disputing I have an addiction. They also house my paper cutters, adhesives, wood supplies, etc.
For scissor and squeegee storage, I used inexpensive jars from Ikea. I tied a simple white twine bow around the lid just for fun. I love this little owl. I’ve contemplated spray painting him but love the distinct vintage vibe, I’m guessing he was manufactured in the 60′s-70′s which is the era my grandmother kept her decor from till the day she passed. Hence all my vintage goods upcycled from her humble home.
Okay, wow, check out this before and during stage…
Okay we need to get a better look at that before image…don’t pin it, lol!!
Orange arrow: mason jars needed lids but they were already organized, thankyouverymuch. Got the idea from this cute craft hutch!
Aqua arrow: Crates are from JoAnn’s. They’re normally $11.99 BUT you can use your 40% off coupon and get them cheap! I collected mine over a period of months to make it more affordable. Stain with Minwax’s DARK WALNUT, paint on numbers with vinyl stencils using Americana’s BUTTER paint, lightly sand and you have instant aged crates.
Green arrow: All those unattractive, easily dented Ikea paper boxes were recycled. Not upcycled, just chucked into the recycle bin! Their contents are now housed in all the crates.
Coral arrow: These suitcases have sentimental value to me AND they’re amazing storage. My grandma passed away the day after Christmas last year, I inherited these suitcases and keep them closed as much as possible, whenever I open it up I can smell her house, love it.
Yellow arrow: Vinyl rolls!! Kristi and I have been selling vinyl lettering and signs for nearly 7 years now. We closed shop and although we hold local craft nights, we no longer sell custom lettering. I decided to get rid of my stash and only keep one roll on hand for stencils only. {We’ve shown our stencil technique we’ve been using for years several times, here is one example of our stencil method in case you missed it.} If you want to get on our craft night notification list, email me lollyjane@gmail.com and I’ll make sure you’re added! They’re always so fun! Our next one is March 14th!
What a crazy before and after, right?? I didn’t realize how trashy the before was?? LOL!! Painting the stencil was the easy part! I’m comfortable with CES’ stencils after using them on the following projects:
Kelli’s dining room | Kristi’s curtains | Kelli’s bathroom
Here‘s a video on how easy it is to stencil. I won’t lie, it’s time consuming. This bookcase took me one day, I was determined to get it done all at once so I wouldn’t have to clean up more than once. I started midday and ended around midnight, taking breaks for real life. But I promise you, if I can do this, you can too! They supply all your needs and have lots of informational videos, directions, etc.
I love this “during photo. What a difference the stencil makes on the back of the bookcase! It really gives it a fun pop of color. Since I have stuff in front of it, the herringbone is peeking through and I simply love it! This during photo has one very important item in it: a Diet Coke/Dr Pepper mixture from my fav corner store, Circle K! I’m a die hard and am on a first name, cell phone exchanging base with the employees, and no I’m not even kidding. Can’t paint without my soda! (Again, the soda crate??-I’m a feign, had to incorporate that!)
Nice and clean herringbone lines in this picture of the bookcase after the stencil was painted but before the accessories were put back in.
Here are some of our favorite Cutting Edge Stencil products:
Chevron All Over | Fishscale Craft Stencil | Charlotte All Over

Thank you for sharing your the pictures of your craft room shelving makeover. I am in the process of moving into my husband’s home office shelving unit that has been sitting in our basement for several years housing a TV, homeschool books, lego creations, etc. I feel like I have been all over our house trying to find a suitable place to not only store scrapbook/crafting supplies but also to create a nice welcoming place to scrapbk and craft. This is my 5th move w/i my house, but this seems to offer the best arrangement I could ask for. My shelving is located on a large wall at the bottom of our finished basement stairs. With a little shifting of furniture, I am hopeful to take over the floor space at the bottom of the stairs in front of the shelving to place my work table, sewing machine table, etc. Your shelving unit is very similar to the oak unit I am taking over. I am still in the process of relocating books and moving supplies onto the shelves. I like the wooden crates you used and will look for those at JoAnn’s & Michaels. This morning I ordered two sets of 2×3 wooden blackboards w/ clips from Pick Your Plum and hope to use those on canvas or wood crates that will store my paper colors and embellishments. I know this will be a work in progress but excited moving forward to hours of creating in a comfy, organized space. Thanks for sharing!

It is so hard to choose which of their stencils is my favorite! I am really in love with the Chevron one.

Cascade allover pattern. But I love them ALL!

Your shelves are beautiful! I love the stencils and crates at the bottom. All the stencils are so neat. I’m still in love with chevron, though, so I’d have to go for that one…or maybe the fishtail…it would be way fun, too.

They’re all gorgeous but think my fav is Charlotte. Love your craft room makeover, you did a great job of celebrating family treasures and still keeling a clean, fresh look.

Well it is hard to just pick one stencil as a favorite! I have so many project ideas I could do with many of these stencils…..but if I had to pick just one I would go with the Chevron All Over right now!
I love you bookcase make over…..I think I may have to try this for a shelf unit in my new shop!

I was pinning your awesome storage idea & got super excited once I saw there was a giveaway for it! There are way too many stencils to choose an actual favorite, but anything chevron is fine by me. I’m going to say the chevron allover because I’ve been wanting to design my room with that pattern for months! Plus now we have a playhouse for my niece to work on.
Crossing my fingers for this giveaway & hoping I win. Thanks for the opportunity. xox.

Looks lovely. Major props!
Ted Evans
Looking at the before and after pics, I am amazed at the transformation but I would have to say that your before pictures are way more beautiful than the crafts section of my home. I try to make it look pretty but it never comes close to the vision in my head.
Anyway, I love your work and I am looking forward to your future projects.
