Comfort Cabinet

$2 at Daiso. Use makeup sponges instead of brushes for easy painting.

A Drama's set is very important.  

It's as much a character as a place.

It reflects the priorities of the players,

and the direction of the story.

Which is why my Drama's set is always changing,

because so am I. 

Since joining Pinterest,

this evolution has taken on an a life of its own.

Starting with my Comfort Center

which holds all the things for making 

my winter days at home a little more fun:

TV

Chocolate

Music

Booze

Cookbooks.

One problem though,

its UGLY!!

and it makes my living room look like a college dorm.

 

However, no matter how ugly it is,

I don't want to spend money on it.

So, a quick look at the DIY porn on Pinterest, 

a quick run to Daiso, 

and three hours later we have this!

Painted the insides black and added a pretty paper to give contrast. Added extra storage below.

The room feels much more grown up and settled.  Less like I make beer runs at midnight.

Empty pasta sauce jars wrapped in juk calendars make the feet :)

I added a tea box to save room in my kitchen.  Also keeps my tea nice and dry.

It's true, me on Pinterest
is like handing a crack pipe to an addict.
I'm already looking at my rumpous room doors wondering,

"How can I make those prettier without losing light?"

Looks like I need to go check out some more DIY porn.
