Closet – $74
A handpainted panel is transformed into a door for a mini-closet. A box frame is constructed for the sides of the closet. Shadow-box hinges are used to attach the panel to the box. The box is then hung on the wall and hooks are added inside so the homeowner will have a place to hang his hat.

A tablecloth is sewn using the same fabrics as the cubes and bench cushions.

Two customized rugs are made from $8 beach mats. Leftover fabric from the other projects in the room is adhered to the edge of the mats with construction-grade glue.

The old bench and table are given new life with some fresh paint. The coffee table gets a couple coats of bright green, while the bench is painted the same brown as the storage bench and floor.

Two shadow boxes found at a garage sale are transformed into vibrant, personalized artwork. To start, the old contents of shadow boxes are removed. The boxes are then painted the same green as the coffee table. For a personal touch, the homeowners' CD cases are glued into the shadowbox.
