PB Craft Station thx to Knock off Wood

When I saw this "I FELL IN LOVE", right away I got started looking so forward to sharing space with my daughter & granddaughters. Oh my goodness, I have finally finished this GREAT craft station. Ana over at Knock Off Wood, posted a photo from PB and put the plans together for anyone to build.




Between soccer practice & games, meetings & errands..this took me about 3 weeks. I did a few modifications, I chose to have all shelves permanently attached instead of using shelf tabs. You will see in the photo with the 9 cubes, the one in the center is not the same..I like a little diversity and you couldn't make then "Even" if they are being attached permanently, there is not way to put nails or screws into the shelf. On the other side, I chose to leave the center open for hooks, seems I have a lot of craft items I buy come in hanging bags and I dont want to open them till I use them, so I will be hanging them on the hooks..the bottom part will be left for a small trash can for all the scraps from crafting.
Only one drawer was added, I really didnt feel I needed a drawer on both sides, really I can only work from one side at a time...and little girls will prolly just put trash in there, so I saved myself a little time.
Why did I choose the colors? Well originally it was going to be all brown..but Ana had asked for something bright, she was looking forwards to seeing something with bright colors....SO my daughter & I decided on the Sunshine Orange..heck the table is just in my craft room so I thought it would be fun...stayed with the brown on top, which I LOVE!

Hope you get a chance to build this...I am looking so forward to using the craft station for sewing, computer works, crafting with the kids and it being a beautiful piece of furniture to my craft room...
