♪ ♪
This week I'm helping a super creative family
with a craft room makeover,
and I'm really jazzed up about this
because it's the first time
I'm getting to tackle this kind of space on "The Weekender,"
and it's right up my alley.
So this family has five kids,
and they're all really creative.
And they have all the craft supplies you could ever want.
It's kind of like my dream come true.
But the space isn't really inspirational.
It's just kind of lacking a personality,
and that's where I come in.
[inquisitive pop music]
All right, so this is a crafty oasis, huh?
- This is a crafty oasis. I love it down here.
I bring my kids down here, or I send them down here,
whenever we're busy, we're making dinner, or they're bored
or it's a Sunday.
- You're like checking things out here.
- I haven't been down here in, like, three months.
[laughter]
- Me too. A little longer.
- You're not the crafty one in the family?
- Uh, I change the air conditioning filter
and the smoke detector batteries, and that's about it.
- That's about it. - He's handy.
- Hi, I'm Gershon. - And I'm Aleeza.
And we're really excited that Monica is here with us.
- We've got a bunch of kids--
exactly Aleeza has six children; I have five.
I'm her oldest. - [laughs]
- It's so neat to have an entire room for creativity.
- I wanted to have a space for my kids.
My daughter's artistic. I'm artistic.
My boys love being creative and having lots of fun
building projects.
- And making a mess. - And making a huge mess.
And the dining room table--
- That's one of the reasons why I don't come down here.
- Right. [laughter]
- Well, you have the perfect room for it.
You have organization. Like, everything's labeled.
- We have bins. Right, so my mom was
a preschool teacher.
She passed away almost two years ago.
- Okay. - And we got left with
all the supplies.
She had them all in bins and organized.
This is all her organization. - Oh, that's really special.
- So this is a credit to Mom.
Yeah, we call it The Bubby Store,
because that's grandma-- that means "grandmother"--
and the kids were able to go shopping
and bring home all their little treasures.
And so now we have all the treasures here.
- Okay, so this is Bubby's Store now.
- This is The Bubby Store.
She was super creative,
so we have all of those crafts and supplies.
So we basically have our own craft store
right in our own basement.
We've got stuff. We've got plenty of stuff to do.
It's just not a very exciting space,
and it needs some pizzazz.
- I think that you have all the right elements,
but I don't feel like the space is inspiring creativity yet.
- Right. - So we have everything
we could possibly need; I think we're just missing
the inspiration and a little bit of style.
- Yes. - So we'll grab bins
and get everything out of here. Okay?
[pop music]
♪ ♪
This week I've got my carpenter friend Ben
helping us navigate all the amazing projects to come.
All right, gonna do some painting.
- Painting! - All right.
So I'll show you what I have in mind for this space.
- Okay. - Any guesses?
- Uh, hmm, I hope it's not gray,
because I really hate gray.
[laughter]
If you open gray, I'm gonna be like, "Okay.
I'm gonna learn to love gray."
- You're gonna learn to love gray.
That's funny. - Oh, no.
- That's funny.
Good to know this.
And...
Here's your new gray paint. [laughter]
- That is not color!
Where's the pop of color!
I need color, Monica!
- All right, all right, so
I hear what you're saying.
However, I have so much color planned for this space,
that if we make your walls colorful,
it's gonna be straight-up circus in here.
- Okay. I trust you. That's why you're here.
I totally trust you. - Good.
I was like, "First project. Just don't give me gray."
- I mean, I still don't like it, but I'm gonna do it.
[laughter]
It's gray.
I think the only color that I really don't like is gray.
Once we have, like, paintings on the wall
or something on the wall other than gray,
I think it's gonna be fabulous,
but I don't like gray.
[laughs]
It's gray. [laughs]
This is white, and that is gray.
- Okay, well, compared to white walls it's gray.
- But it's not dark gray. - It's not dark gray.
If you want me to do all the painting, I will,
because I feel slightly horrendous.
- I will totally jump in and help you paint.
[laughter]
- Chick hates this color.
Aleeza is not a fan of gray,
and she is not afraid to let me know.
In fact, I kind of think she's roasting me a bit.
[laughs]
[upbeat rock music]
This is pretty special.
Aleeza may not be on board now,
but I know she will be.
The gray will merely act as the perfect backdrop
for the whole design, which will certainly incorporate
some stronger colors. Just wait and see.
Ben's been outside prepping our next project,
which will bring in some much needed storage organization
and workspace for the family.
All right, so you and I are going to work on
one of our first big builds,
and I just finished a project with your wife,
and I'm kind of hoping that this one goes a little better.
Has she told you anything yet?
- Haven't heard a thing. - Okay.
Well, let me ask you a little trivia question
how well you know your wife.
What is her least favorite paint color?
- Uh, she...
Didn't like the gray that I chose in the kitchen.
- Guess what I just painted your basement.
- Got it. - Yeah.
- All right, well, I... I like gray.
- She hates it, so with that being said,
the pressure is on now this weekend
that everything else has to be awesome.
We are gonna build her a new craft table
that'll kind of be the focal point
in the center of the room. Okay?
But I want to kind of customize it a little bit more,
so these are kitchen cabinets that are in stock at Lowe's,
but I want to use them as the base of her craft table,
so that way at each end she has tons of storage and she can
easily access a bunch of her kind of, like, daily supplies
that the kids use.
This piece of plywood is gonna be the top,
so it's nice and big.
This is actually the size of it.
And what I want to do is customize it a little bit.
So what I'm thinking is, these galvanized buckets
are gonna hold all kinds of art supplies that you guys
already have.
But then I want a place so that it's not just sitting up
on the table; we're actually gonna use a hole saw
and drill some holes in here.
All right, so little tips here
for when you're using a hole saw.
You want to go through really straight down,
and then you want to stop as soon as the bit pokes through.
You don't want to go all the way through,
or the wood will kind of splinter
and you'll have a really uneven edge.
Okay, so you can see that there's a little hole
where the bit made it through.
That's where we're gonna put the bit right back into
that same hole, and it'll ensure
that we cut a perfect circle.
What's cool about this is that these buckets are tapered,
thus they will sit and hold there.
And then, depending on whatever craft they're doing,
they can just pop 'em in and out.
It's cool, right? - Yeah.
- Pretty neat.
I love this plywood; it's great;
it's perfect quality for this table.
But I don't love the unfinished edge,
so we could trim it out with wood,
but what we're going to use is,
we're gonna use the veneer edging.
Have you used this before? - I have.
- You have. Perfect.
So the veneer, as you can see, has glue,
and we need to heat up the glue to activate it.
All we need to do is iron it on.
Okay, so right now the iron is on our cotton setting,
and basically we want to keep it on for about 20 seconds,
slowly moving it.
You want to heat up the glue
as quickly as possible,
and then come through with a block of wood
and just press it down, so that as it cools down,
its adhering to the wood underneath it.
All right, and then our top is gonna go right on here.
So this is kind of how it's gonna be assembled,
but I don't actually want to assemble it
until we get it down there, because it would be a nightmare
to navigate through the house.
It would never fit.
This is our last big project for today,
but I have a bit of homework for you.
So I'm gonna have you stain the top and the sides.
This is a natural tone stain,
so it's not gonna change the color too too much;
it'll work really well with everything else I have planned.
- Great. - I hear it matches great
with gray paint. [laughs]
I also need to go see if your wife's still speaking to me.
- I got it. - You got this?
- Yeah. - All right. Good man.
[quirky electronic music]
♪ ♪
All right, day two. How are you feeling?
Are we still on speaking terms?
- We're on speaking terms for the moment.
[laughter] - For the moment.
- I got to find out what the project is.
As long as it doesn't involve boring gray, we're A-OK.
- All right, I think that the first project that I've planned
today is going to put me back in your good graces.
You had organizational systems for everything.
Like, very organized, but none of it was pretty.
So I am going to give you the ultimate
craft organization wall,
and it is going to be so cool and pretty and creative.
- Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. - Good.
Okay, I like the idea of using pegboard
to store things and organize.
However, I kind of wanted to level up
from just a basic store-bought pegboard,
so we're actually going to DIY and build our own
kind of jumbo pegboard.
- Awesome. - Okay?
- The kids are gonna love it. - Yeah.
It's gonna be really cool.
I think you might love it the most.
But we're gonna work with a sheet of plywood here,
and I already kind of made us a little bit of a cheater here.
I'm a big fan of, like, simplifying projects
as much as possible.
So this board is gonna help us know where all of our holes go,
keep us straight, steady. Okay?
♪ ♪
So on this side, the hole is 3 inches from the end.
Down at this end, it's 6 inches from the end.
And then on the next one, we're gonna flip it around
and it'll be 6 inches,
so it'll give us a nice staggered pattern.
We're clamping our cheater board to the plywood
so it doesn't move.
To create our pegboard holes,
we're using a 3/4 inch paddle bit.
For our pegboard pegs,
I picked up 3/4 inch dowels
that will fit perfectly into the holes.
Grab that end. We're gonna put it on its side.
All right, so this is how it's gonna go on the wall.
It'll be horizontal like this,
and I cut some of our dowels so that you can see
that they fit nicely.
So we can put a shelf here.
We can hang tools.
You can put spools of ribbon.
- Fantastic. - I have big organization
ideas for this. - I am so excited.
- Ben and I are actually gonna be the ones to install
this in the room, because we wanted you to kind of
have an idea of where we're going,
but I really want to surprise you with this wall,
because you're going to love it.
- I'm really excited. - It's pretty easy, too, right?
- Not bad at all.
- All right, we'll bring the wood in here.
Just stick this down.
All right, I'm gonna have you help me
with a pretty basic build.
One of my goals for this space is make it super inspirational,
and we talked about how that was, like, the one thing
missing from it.
So I want to create a space to display all the artwork
and creations that are made in here.
So we're gonna do a combination of
bulldog clips on wood,
which is--these are perfect for hanging just paintings
and drawings, and then when I got in here
I realized how many canvas artwork pieces you guys have.
So we're gonna do a little, like, picture ledge,
where are all their canvases can go up.
- Like a gallery wall. - Like an art gallery.
Exactly. And I think it's gonna be really cool,
'cause when you first walk into this space,
it'll be the first thing that you see.
We're finding a level line and studs
where we'll attach our pine 1x material.
We stain the wood a rich walnut color
to help it pop on the gray wall.
So this piece is gonna be the bulldog clip one.
What's really cool about the ones I got,
they are magnetic.
So stick 'em on the screw here, on the back.
Ta-da.
The idea here is we'll add extra screws
onto the face of the wood where we can attach the clips.
This time we don't need to find studs,
because the screws will only be holding the lightweight
clips and artwork.
Okay, so we have our bulldogs clip display ready.
Now we're gonna move on to canvases.
And for this one, we're gonna use the same 1x
that we used up there,
but the difference is, we're actually going to attach
two pieces, basically in an L-shape,
and that way the canvases can sit on them.
[whirring]
And we're back to finding studs for our screws.
We'll them to ensure the shelf is secure.
All right. I think it looks cute, right?
- Better here than on the fridge.
- [chuckles] That's a very good point.
Spoken like a true dad. - Uh-huh.
- All right, well, I have a ton to do left in this room.
I need to bring back basically a bajillion craft items.
So you're out of here, and I will let you know
when the room's ready to see.
- Looking forward. - All right.
Well, get out of here. I got to get crafty.
[pop music]
Now it's time for our secret project
that's gonna give the homeowners' old dresser
some new life.
♪ ♪
All right, so one of my favorite things is upcycling
or even if you want to call it hacking a piece of furniture.
I love taking an old existing piece of furniture
and giving it a completely new purpose or new life.
And that's exactly what Ben and I are gonna go to this dresser
that the homeowners had in their basement
when we got here yesterday.
So what we've done so far is,
took off the existing hardware,
and Ben painted it using furniture paint,
and that's really key to mention here,
because it grips to the wood
and it required us to do very little sanding.
Aleeza mentioned that they love wrapping presents.
She has tons of ribbon and tons of accessories,
so we are gonna turn this into the ultimate wrapping station.
So one of the drawers is completely broken,
and that's sort of to be expected when you're dealing
with old furniture, and we are going to make basically--
[laughs] - Really fell apart.
- Here, let me see that piece of...
- Yeah, perfect. - Very solid wood.
But basically what we're going to do here
is put plywood in and make it so this area just slides out
and it's additional workspace.
Ben has cut our plywood the exact size
of the bottom drawer.
And I'm going to attach drawer slides
to slide it out.
So we're gonna predrill our holes for the little screws
that came with the kit,
just because the wood is a little flimsy.
So we have full extension glide rails now.
And basically our plywood is gonna live on here.
Sweet. That thing slides like butter.
- Nice. - So now we're just going to
attach the drawer front directly into the plywood.
So we'll put a couple nail holes,
we'll fill it with some putty, no big deal.
All right, so that was project one.
On to project two,
which involves all the fun zhooshing of a present:
ribbon.
So up here, we're gonna create a ribbon dispenser.
I got the idea when I saw this without hardware,
so basically we're going to drill holes in here,
put the ribbon in the drawer and feed it through.
Basically the ribbon feeds right through.
So you can pull and snip,
and there's no, like, you know how ribbon can get
all, like, bundled and knotted.
It might, but it's happening in the drawer,
and you won't even know.
So for this one, it's actually gonna be attached
over here onto the side, and then this is gonna hold
all of her wrapping paper.
So it's like a really great amount of space,
the base of the wrapping paper rolls will go here,
and then Ben's gonna kind of just build, like,
a little piece around here so they don't flop all over.
- Sounds good.
- Good job, Ben. - Okay.
[whirring]
- So now because I'm using this drawer on the side
for the wrapping paper, there's obviously gonna be a bit
of a hole, so what I'm gonna do here is
paint the inside of the drawer blue
so it's a little less noticeable,
and then Ben's gonna put a piece of plywood here
and I'm gonna put all of her gift bags and things like that
in there. - Okay.
- Okay, thanks. - Sounds good.
[whirring]
- All right, so now we're gonna get ready to install
our giant pegboard.
So what Ben has done so far is level out and attach
2x3s to the wall.
This is really important to keep your pegboard
off the wall, so that the pegs can go in
and you can put things in and out of them.
You wouldn't want it flush to the wall.
So now we're gonna put the last one up,
and then we can attach it.
[whirring]
This wall needs to be able to handle a good amount of weight,
so you want to make sure that these are into studs.
One other thing I had Ben prepping
are these cabinets.
So this is going to give them tons of hidden storage.
These cabinets will kind of replace all the bins of storage
that she had around the entire perimeter of the room
and really make this entire wall look like
a custom built-in wall.
[pop music]
♪ ♪
- Okay. - I just want to show you
while I still have a gap here
why we have it off the wall.
When these dowels go through the hole,
we need a little bit of depth there to give them strength.
If it was flush against the wall,
they'd barely be in there; it wouldn't be strong.
So putting the 2x3 gives me a couple inches
and lots of stability.
And look at our pattern, nice and straight.
- Looks good. - Looks good.
- Worked out. - All right, so we are gonna
get a coat of white paint onto this
so it ties into the cabinetry that we've put in.
We're also gonna put some pine down here
on top of these kitchen cabinets,
and then comes the fun part.
I can load in all the crafty goodness,
and I am super excited about that.
So let's get it painted so we can get decorating.
[soft music]
♪ ♪
One, two, three.
Open your eyes.
- Oh. Oh, my gosh.
- Spectacular.
- [sighs] I almost fainted.
[laughter]
- No fainting!
- This is great. - Oh, that's the pegboard.
Oh. And that's the drawer.
That's our drawer. Oh, with the ribbon
coming out of the drawer. - Don't move, don't move.
- Oh, my gosh, the ribbon.
And the kids won't mess it up!
- It was a dresser, and now it's like super wrapping--
- I bought that dresser at a yard sale for 10 bucks.
- Best 10 bucks you ever spent. - About ten yours ago.
- Oh, my gosh. - You good?
- I'm a little dizzy. - Yeah.
- I'm a little dizzy.
- Come over here. I'll help hold you steady.
- It is so--oh, and The Bubby Store.
Look, it's The Bubby Store.
Okay, boring gray, you win.
- Yes! [laughter]
- Goes great with the floor. - Thank you!
[laughter] So is this a boring space
at all? - No!
- So, craft table that we built,
so this is what Gershon and I built together,
and stools, and the coolest thing is that you have
storage-- - Cabinets.
- Yep, at the end.
So all kinds of containers for all your craft supplies.
- And sunken in.
Everything's, like, there ready to go.
- Yes, and these can swap out.
So their other supplies can go into the buckets,
and that way it's super easy.
So if it's coloring or if it's painting or whatever it is,
you can kind of change it up.
And then with the pegboard wall,
I have to be honest, I'm completely jealous of this.
I love it so much.
And it's all movable, exchangeable,
so you have tons of extra shelves and pegs
that we left for you.
And then those are kitchen cabinets underneath,
like the ones that you'd usually see above a microwave.
So we installed a whole row of them,
so all of this clothes storage
kind of replaces all the bins that were around the perimeter
of the room. - Right.
And the kids can reach it. It's really low.
It's perfect size. - Yep.
And then I really think the kids are gonna love
seeing their art up there. What do you think?
- I think so. We needed a space to have a display wall,
because you do something, but if it doesn't go somewhere
and you can't look at it and admire it
and feel good about it, it just--
it leaves it unfinished. It's perfect.
- Do you feel like this does justice to The Bubby Store?
- Yes. She always had things--
she had things organized-- in bins, in crates--
and now they'll have this as a memory and they'll be able
to look at it and say, like, you know, "We have this here
and we can create in her memory."
- Like, you might actually come down here now, right?
- I'm already thinking of some projects I want to do.
[laughter]
- I'm gonna have to claim time with my space.
We're gonna have to have a chart.
- I know.
Well, this was really, really fun for me,
and I'm dying to see what the kids think.
So why don't you grab them, and let's see what they think
of this space. - Okay, great.
- All right, go get 'em.
Do you guys wanna try out some of the chairs?
- Is that stuff from Bubby, or is that new stuff?
- New stuff. - You have to get the ball out.
- What shape do you want it to be?
Can you get it back into a box?
Keep trying. - I'll try.
- You'll try.
- Your mom said that you might have, like, friends over
and teach, like, arts and crafts workshops.
You should! Look! Look at this.
- All right, let's get to work.
[laughter]
- Come on, Dad. Get him!
[laughter]
all: Thank you, Monica! - And friends.
- You guys are welcome.
Well, that was one super crafty "Weekender,"
