ta-da!

It was great to have a 4 day weekend to get this room squared away. It's important to me to have a space that feels good and functions well - I think I've finally got it. The new set-up is comfy and efficient for me and can function well with 2 guests and their own projects.
I reconfigured the bookshelves to accommodate my record collection and set up my record player on an antique sewing cabinet. When I need extra room, the cabinet opens up and extends into a 5 foot work surface.
I'm using the peg board for even more stuff with the new arrangement. I made that sparkly eye patch for a pirate party last new year's eve. The lamp was a wedding gift that has finally found a good spot in the house - it had been in a closet for way too long.
The lavender background is a half-finished painting from a few years ago. It's a section of fake wood panelling that I pulled out of someone's trash way back when. I decided to give it a third life as a support for my new inspiration board - ready to be filled up with ideas & whatever turns my crank.

Now it's time to use it!!!

space


Aww, crafty room. Why do you look so sad?

I need to get my space in shape! Wildeve showed me this not too long ago and I want some of that vibe going on in my little corner of the world. This place has to function as a combination library / file cabinet / sewing center / music room and needs to effectively house my loads of supplies for various artsy pursuits.

So, I am going to call these my BEFORE pics. My after pics will be coming soon... after some serious work. Ok, I have to admit that I enjoy putting together a room almost as much as I enjoy using it. There's an empty long weekend ahead just begging to be put to good use.
