New Kitchen Decorating 2015: reusing an old vanity

<div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have enjoyed hanging out with me this week touring the Basement Remodel that I recently completed.  </div><div style="text-align: center;">Today I want to show you the last room that we tackled.  </div><div style="text-align: center;">The Craft Room. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Who Doesn't want a Craft Room?  </div><div style="text-align: center;">I have a whole pinboard designated to Craft Rooms!  </div><div style="text-align: center;">Just the thought of everything in my reach and all organized and pretty just makes me swoon.  </div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, my client and BFF felt the same way.  </div><div style="text-align: center;">So we created a space just for her.  </div><div style="text-align: center;">And who did we look to for Inspiration?  </div><div style="text-align: center;">Why the Craftiest of them all, Martha Stewart, of course.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
