M. and I bought an awesome vintage cassette tape holder off Craigslist with the hope that we could store his Nintendo games in it. When we picked it up, the woman told us that dealers had tried to purchase it off her too, but she wanted to sell it to people who would actually use it in their homes. Well, we got home and saw that his games didn't fit into it! We couldn't bear to get rid of it or not use it, so we decided to figure out another use for it.
Here it is pre-project. What do you think? Pretty awesome, huh?
M. originally wanted to remove or cover the "cassettes" sign, but I won't let him do it!
Here it is in the space. This is probably my least favorite space in the apartment, but I'm growing on it. It just looks so dark wood and beige to me - although not nearly s bad as this picture makes it look, I promise! We're slowly trying to bring in more color and, hopefully after we've completed the project on the cassette holder, there will be more.
You can't really tell in the picture, but the table cloth is robin egg's blue and we have very cool
recycled placemats from CB2 to protect the cloth. We need it on the table because it's so beaten up with age that it needs to be covered.
Everything in the room, except the decorations and cassette tape holder was donated to us from family. The desk is being used as my "craft corner" and additional storage, because what we have in bathrooms, we lack in storage!
I don't want to leave out our artwork!
Recognize these from my weekend recap? These are pictures of old abandoned pieces from the original
Enchanted Forest before
Clark Elioaks Farm started preserving them!
I got them on
Etsy from a local photographer,
CJ Shanks. Here's a close up!
I have a deep love for the teacups.
What do you think?
Wait until you see the next stage of the cassette tape player!
