When creating a convertible maker space from a guest room, Janome Canada reached out to Kristy at 4theloveofwood to challenge her to come up with a small storage space that could become a big work table for designing, layout, cutting, painting or whatever the maker desired. She delivered big with her conversion of cast off kitchen cupboards that received a custom paint treatment and gold dipping. The brilliant trick of turning wall art into the table-top made the most of limited space with a beautiful and functional solution!
"The goal for me is to always use second hand items, whether you already have them, buy them in a thrift store, or get them from a friend. I also wanted to create a work space a woman believed she could make herself!" ~ Kristy

Kristy was kind enough to share the full story on her blog in a two part series starting today here! You may also want to look at her home tour, with a surprise ending!
