More Scrap...

Of course i forgot to post the pictures in order;) any way when we decided to make-over the room we knew we wanted to reuse what we already had as much as we could. Also we wanted something with more of a high energy vibe so when we walked in we felt inspired and energized. So we first started with the paint colors-we had been checking the mistints for weeks and slowly found all the colors except one and that one we just got a quart of (pink). Then we needed wood for the shelves so we checked craigs list free/wood listing (we wanted to save our money for our shopping spree at Ikea!) What we found was a couple cut sheets of plywood and an old door, which when i saw it i totally loved it and had no idea what we weere gonna do with it but knew i had to have it!! So I had Bruce cut it right down the middle and they became the sides for our shelves...
The counter top we used another old door i had laying around in the garage the brackets from home depot
This is the detail on the doors and we loved the way it looked with hardware still attached


Was a strange shade of blue we added orange paint (3 coats) and dry brushed with the pink and green.
