Hi friends!
I am so excited to share my son’s desk on Friday! I have been busy getting it all finished up for pictures, but I thought I would sneak in one little teaser before then.
My kids love art. They love coloring on just about anything (including furniture). I am always looking for fun ways to decorate and organize at the same time, which leads me to my next little project. I found a fun way to organize his art supplies and here is how it turned out…
This might be the easiest and cheapest tutorial ever… Woohoo!
I found these great buckets in Target’s dollar section… Just found them this week and they had LOTS in different colors.
So cute and a buck… Love them.
They were a little bright for his room so I knew exactly what to use…
Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch spray paint in Granite
I gave them each a coat of spray paint and attached my hooks while they dried!
I used these cute little black hooks from Hobby Lobby. They were half off so I got them for $1.50 a piece… Woohoo!
I used black drywall screws and attached them directly to the wall. If you are worried about the weight of the bucket, you can put an anchor into the wall first. I hung all my hooks 6″ apart.
Then I hung my new “granite” buckets…
That is it. Simple, cheap but OH SO Cute! I love how it adds just a bit of character to this space. Plus, it’s all out of the baby’s reach. Win win.
Here are just a few more pictures….
I am so excited to share the bottom half of these photos with you on Friday! I LOVE his desk. It’s so perfect for his room, but I might just steal it for my own.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day!

Can you tell me where that lamp is from? Thank you!
Great idea. I love his room. Can you tell me the name of the blue you used on the lower half of the walls. It is perfect. Thanks
I love these little buckets! I got mine from Target last year at Easter time…they were silver/aluminum. I use them for entertaining. A perfect sized cup to hold forks, spoons, and napkins!
What a great idea Kindra! So fun!! 😉
I am thrilled to find these painted buckets! I SCORED 12 for $1 at a g sale — pink and blue, not for long now! 🙂
Love the very “boy” room you created – job well done~
Thank you so much Vicki!! That is a great deal!!!
Keeping this in mind when I get my craft room set up! Would be perfect for little do-dads!
Yes it would! Send us some pics when you get it done! 😉
Just finishing a desk area for my grandson thank you for the GREAT idea…once again? I will be going to Target today
Perfect Sue!!! I would love to see a picture when you get it all finished! 🙂
Saw the picture on instagram and was waiting to see your post!!! I too saw these at target in June, although I picked them up, thought oh how cute, my mind was blank on using pink and yellow bins with my boys so I put them back. Ha, now I will head back! Love all your inspiration.
Haha… Thanks!! Glad to help!! 😉
When are you going to give us a tour? You are a rock star girl! I literally check your blog every morning. On another note, is there a particular model of Kreg Jig you recommend?
Haha Kally… You are sweet!! Ash and I use the K4 model and LOVE it! Best investment ever!
I have had that idea for a long time! I didn’t do it, because I didn’t want the little guy getting into it all. Now he is old enough, but I have a one year old who would destroy my house. Still gotta keep that kind of stuff up. I even bought the buckets from the dollar spot at Target way back. Great minds think a like ;). Looks super cute.
So fun! Yes… Great minds! Gotta love the dollar section too!
Great idea, they look fab & so does the sneak peak of the desk. Oh, & I LUV the desk lamp… stunning!!!
Thanks so much Juanita! Can’t wait to show you guys the whole thing! 😉
