You know those red and white toile curtains with yellow pom pom fringe that used to hang in my living room? Well I moved them into my office/craftroom because I’m either making or buying new curtains for my living room (I’m testing some ideas) and I love those curtains. I’ve had them forever and I wasn’t quite ready to say good-bye just yet! I have the chair that I painted and recovered in there too and they look so cute together.

Red buffalo check and red toile is such a good combination! Plus I love how the red looks with the Annie Sloan Provence color I used on the chair and the blue in the print.
It’s hard taking a photo of a window! The plate holder over the window has been there for years (I think I got it at Bed Bath & Beyond). The chair makeover can be found here. The drop leaf table I’ve had for years and used to be in my living room. It’s now used for my husband’s suitcase (he travels a lot for business). His closet is in this room too. So the chair gives him someplace to sit to put on his shoes and some place for people in general to sit to visit with me in the office. Like with most not so big old homes – this room is multi-purpose!
One day I’ll show you the whole room at one time but I’m still working on organizing all my craft stuff!
I wanted some new art for the sliver of wall in-between the closet and window so I looked in my printables board on Pinterest and found this fun print! This is a free printable which you can find here (it comes in several colors).
I needed another piece of art to put above the printable and made this. The frame used to be green and had a piece of black and white toile wallpaper in it. I spray painted it red and covered the insert with burlap and glued a Michael’s doily on it. Instant Granny Chic wall art!
The white crochet pillow is from Ikea a few years ago and looks like a big white doily!
My husband just put up the shelf that the sign is sitting on. I still have to decide how I want to organize my craft stuff and I have several pictures I want to hang on the wall.
There’s so much still left to do in this room!
Your office/craft room is definitely multi-tasking. It looks really sweet and I love the colours you’ve chosen. The chair is so pretty and I love toile print. I’ll look forward to seeing how you decorate the rest of the room. Enjoy your week! Pamela
Looks like a cozy place to spend some crafting time. Can’t wait to see the whole room!
Oh my gosh, I love that little corner of the room already! I am working on my office area and will have to use a few of your ideas. Thanks for the link to the printable…it’s adorable.
I like the red frames, they really pop. Moving things from one room to another is my favorite way to decorate
Love those curtains:) Sweet ideas to add color and a little change to the room! Have a blessed week dear Manuela, BIG HUGS!
The curtains go great with your chair, Manuela. I’m on a curtain quest, too, for our home office. Since this is mainly my husband’s space I want a more masculine look to them. I haven’t found anything I like yet. I’m thinking of checking out tablecloths to use as curtains next.
One of my favorite things about your blog is how good u are at making things beautiful with more imagination than money. I love the way you shift things here and there to make things look fresh. :>)
I love the toile with the checks. That chair turned out wonderful. Your rooms is coming together beautifully!
Manuela,
The photos look like something out of a magazine! You really have an eye for detail. Love!

I love it all! Love the colors together. And of course the toile is my favorite. I like to rotate my stuff. Makes me think I have new things. Mimi
Your new changes look wonderful. I love the do-it-yourself art. Clever, pretty, and cheerful!
It’s all bright, cheery and welcoming! 🙂
I LOVE that printable!
Your room is great! You don’t mind if I steal those curtains, do you?
I love the curtains in that room! It just looks so warm and comfortable – a great place to relax and get creative!
I think that these look fantastic in this room, Manuela. I love toile with check or ticking stripe.

Oh this room makes me feel happy, happy, happy! Dropping by from Tweak it Tuesday!
I love those curtains! I’ve always, since childhood, loved the combo of red and yellow together. I’ll have to look at some of those printables. I’ve been taking down things in the living room and spackling and painting over nail holes. My house has cement walls, so one nail hole makes a mess! I don’t recall seeing those plates over the window…

Your craft room is looking wonderful, I love that green chair, it’s fabulous!
It’s always fun when you can re-use things to make a space pretty! Your craft room will be wonderful!
Manuela,
Your makeovers, whether big or small, fabric or paint, furniture or flowers, or everything combined, are SO pretty!! I’m swooning over the colour of that sweet chair and the pom pom bundles on your curtains, and your wall art, plates and frames are adorable! I’m smiling. Swooning and smiling. Don’t mind me…

It looks so nice! I love a cheerful room 🙂 Glad to know that I’m not the only one who doesn’t have their craft supplies all organized, I hope you’ll show it when you’re done.
What a cozy corner! I love the changes you’ve made. And on a budget, too! I’m working on things around home – snooping through boxes and cabinets to see what I can find that’s ‘new’! You’ve inspired me!

So glad to help inspire you! I found some things I had stashed in a corner in my office that I hadn’t gotten around to using yet. Just totally forgot about them!
I love the idea of using what you have to decorate! I like the “Amazing things are going to happen” printable is my favorite part of this project. I would love it if you’d link this up to Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop. We love to find inexpensive ways to decorate and this post would fit in perfectly with our theme! Thanks so much and have a great day!
