Baby steps. That is how I am attacking my craft room. Little itty, bitty steps at a time. My problem with trying to redo it with the vintage look was lack of things to fit the theme and wanting to accumulate everything I needed and do it all at once. I am trying to work on being patient. So for the new beach theme, I am just going to change things one at a time. So I started out yesterday by purchasing two light blue bins to replace the gray ones I had in this little shelf.
And I had this jar, a sea shell and some jute that I put together my own version of the pencil holder from Pinterest. They used a star fish and I may eventually replace this one with a star fish but I had a sand dollar that I actually found in Panama City on mine and Allen's last trip so I think it has more meaning. I had a few blue colored pencils to put in it, but want to add a few more. But this wasn't a bad start since it didn't cost me a penny. Everything was on hand.
I had a red valance that I took down and hung up this pale blue sheer until I can go to a store in Myrtle Beach this year that has some adorable beach curtains that I really want. But this will do till then. It is a warehouse store and no online purchasing so I will be patient.
The top of one of my stands has been temporarily decorated with some of the beach stuff I had around the house.
It's not much but it is a start.
