Hello Friends, Tamar Perry here...
I made a desktop tool organizer, and yes, it is from scratch – not a kit. I used chipboard and cut all the pieces by hand.
Decorated with clear acetate sheet and Lady Vagabond paper from my favorite page – I just love love love this pattern! I also used the stamps because I wanted to keep it mostly black and white, and the moulds.
I made this to fit the color theme and décor of my new place. It is in Florida so everything is white and boho/ shabby chic style, so I gave out lady Vagabond a bit of the shabby look. I painted the box in distressed white, so its looks washed. I added a little lace and some wooden brown accents.
I just love how this combination of this Victorian Steampunk meet Shabby came out.
As the finishing touch I have a framed pictures of my favorite photograph of me with my daughter.
And of course the practicality of this piece – It holds all my tools and keeping my desk organized.
