Creative Spaces 2 with Creating Keepsakes GIVEAWAY

So you might remember a couple of summers ago I was honored with having my art studio featured in the premiere issue of Creating Keepsakes Creative Spaces issue which was Edited by my amazing friend Megan Hoeppner.



Here are a few things you may not have known about my art studio...

  • In total, we had 1 week to get this studio together, since we had just moved into our new home here in Colorado.
  • ALL of our furniture fixtures are reclaimed elements found from thrift stores or recycling yards.
  • The table tops and vanity counter in the back (black top) are vintage doors that we took a saw and custom cut to fit. We then paid for custom but and beveled glass to cover the top and make it workable and heat resistant.
  • The back counter is made up of two recycled (and thoroughly disinfected, lol) bathroom vanities.
  • We spent less than $700 
  • We have AMAZING friends who with out their help... none of this work would have been possible.


This shot here shows you how we used some old reclaimed cabinet doors as shelves. The top one is a reclaimed stud from the foundation of a house, but the rest are old kitchen cabinet doors that are turned flat side up and anchored with L brackets.



Here is a close up of the vanity counter top that is a combo of two different vintage doors, painted black and cut to size to create this epic counter top. This I think is one of my favorites ♥


Sadly...my room doesn't look nearly as nice as it did in these original shots any more... but hey, that's crafting for you!

Since Creating Keepsakes is introducing their Second edition of Creative Spaces... I get to share a copy of this second issue with one lucky winner here on my blog. Simply leave a comment below on this blog post and I will pick a random winner and announce them on January 18th 2013. Please share this giveaway with a friend or two as I know that this magazine is full of tons of fun inspirational ideas that all Crafters and moms will love.

    I love how you reused a lot of items in ways most of us wouldn't imagine.

    I am absolutely into repurposing, and have found things at the secondhand shop that were left for not, purchased them and put them back to good use. Having said that, I haven't done that much at all with my craft room. What an awesome idea....and a good reminder that I can reuse things and put them into use again. Guess what my goal is for what's left of this week. A good once over of my house tied in to the craft room. I would LOVE to win this magazine to see what other ideas I could put into practice.

    The pages from my 1st edition are so worn because I constantly referred back to so many things; especially organizational tools and tips! I would LOVE to have a copy of the 2nd edition! I can only imagine the beautiful spaces that are inside...Thank you for the chance to win!

    These Magazines are so well put together. I think I started doing what I do because I saw it in a magazine, I also started with a 'large hat box'. Thinking it would hold all the supplies I would need....Now I too am lucky enough to have a 'dedicated room'. Keep smiling and creating Ms Liz, have fun at CHA.

    Great timing! I'm in the middle of moving into a new studio space. My son moved out - I'm sad and we miss him, but the three of his sisters that are still at home and I are SO excited to have a dedicated crafting space to move into!! I'd LOVE to get some ideas from this issue! Thanks!

      Eileen, sadly this space is in a huge disarray and used mostly for storage. We moved my studio into our office area because it was larger for the kids to come and play with me in.
