with a little imagination...

i saw this photo on elsie's blog last month

and i knew i just had to make my own!

i didn't want to buy a new crate,

so i just used what i already had.

during our many shopping trips,

heidi and i found an old drawer at jesse james

antiques in st. joe, mo.

the drawer cost about $6.

i've been trying to figure out exactly

what i wanted to do with it.

i painted it purple to make the items inside

pop more. 

i may put some paper in as well,

since the wood refused to let the paint

cover it properly.

this summer, i had painted an old cookie sheet to use as a tray for my alice in wonderland photo shoot.  it's finding a new purpose, too.
it could easily be drilled into the wall.  an idea to keep in mind for my studio room. :)

another idea for my room is my hanging art.

i put fabric in between the photo and hanger

so that the hanger did not leave indentions on

the photo.
