Work in Progress

I apologize that this is not the best photo, but my "craft" room is fairly small and I was pressed as far back on the opposite wall as I could go. This is what my "bookshelf" looks like so far. I still have a bunch of stuff to go through and find spots for.... Tonight, I was discussing with my husband the possible need for another shelf...same style, just smaller (2x4) that would fit on the other side of the room.

This room is weird because it has a sort-of "window seat"/shelf along the outer wall. The man who lived here prior to us extended the front of the house but not the foundation and everything... so on the outer wall, to the one side of the window, I have just enough space for another shelving unit. You'll see what I mean when I get it, have it set up, and take some photos!

This is it for now:

Craftiness....Out of Control and Nowhere to Go!

The only reason that I am posting the following photos is so that you will be in awe when this space has been transformed.

I reallllly love crafts! I love sewing, rubber stamping, crocheting/knitting and scrapbooking. The problem with this is that a person tends to accumulate a LOT of paraphernalia to go with the different crafting activities. Well, you can see what has happened to me.





I am not by nature a very organized person, and I've not learned to be super organized either. My clutter is getting better (not that you can tell from these photos!), I but I swear it to be true!

We've lived in this house for four years and I've been bothered by this room the whole time. I will straighten it up, get it organized as best I could....then I would eventually have to go digging for something and not have take the time to put my supplies away properly. Then, it would just become this big jumbly mess again. I'm not really sure what I've been waiting for...but the time has come, to get this space organized!

I bought a magazine....and saw exactly what I wanted for my room! Then, I had to figure out where to get the shelving/bookcase that I wanted. I did some searching online and figured out I could get what I needed at IKEA (and we have an IKEA only 15 minutes from my house).

I already picked out and purchased some paint. I've been loving the blue lately, so the color I chose is called Bibbidi Bobbidi Blue (yes, in the Behr Disney paint line) Here's to hoping I like it when it is actually on the wall.

I have even planned out what is going to go in each spot in my bookcase! I can't wait to get this project finished so that I can comfortably do some crafting! I can't wait for everyone to see it! I hope it looks as great as I am imagining it in my head! I'm even planning some thrifty decorating in my head!

I've already started clearing the room out in order to get started on the painting! Wish me luck and a speedy transformation!
