And.....DONE!

It's not that I CAN'T clean, it's that I DON'T.
Except, I cleaned my craft room this weekend.
Now I can't wait to mess it up.
Goose already started to make stuff with my stamps...

I would like to get a new, bigger desk and some more storage so I can get rid of the cardboard boxes.

But this is SO much better than it was just a few days ago.

It makes me happy just to walk through it.

(You have to go through my craft room to get to the master bedroom.)

Still have some bigger stuff to hang, like my peg board frames.

I am really happy to finally have my space set up.

Scraproom Update

So, I told Hubs that wall I wanted for Valentine's Day was for him to hang my pegboard frames. They have only been painted for weeks, gathering dust... waiting for him to mount them. I got this idea from Brooklyn Limestone and am really happy with the way it turned out. It works out really well for my limited wall space!

This frame was $2.99 from Goodwill


And this frame is vintage and $10, I think.


I spray painted the frames black and the pegboard blue, the color scheme is really starting to come together. Next thing, I just need to get some matching curtains put up!

TFL!

Cheating/lazyness

I gave my stamp dresser a little make-over yesterday. I was way too lazy to take the stuff out of the drawers or lay paper down so I wouldn't paint on the floor (but I didn't and as you can see in the next paint I did get paint on the floor... oh well, we rent). I just pulled out the paint and went to work.



I took each drawer out and painted them one by one, only giving them 1-2 liberal coats. The wood still kinda showed through so I took a paper towel and sponged/swiped on come white paint. I kinda like how it ended up looking like a cloudy blue sky.

And in the Elsie-cake style, I decided to doodle some little designs on it. Nothing too fancy... again, remember I am very lazy...





And while I had the paint out... I whiped up this little bulliten board for my wall!

A clean craft room is a happy craft room!

So here are the results of my Super Bowl cleaning day from Sunday. I can't tell you how awesome it was to clean with NO INTERUPTIONS. And this is coming from someone who would rather drink bleach (okay, maybe not...) than clean. But I got a ton done and it looks so much better up there.

The BEFORE shots... it's bad... I know...

Entering the "lair"


Are you brave enough?


My so-called "desk"

And the AFTER pics...

The entry.


You can actually see the floor!


See! Told you there was a desk under there... ;)


I forgot to take a before shot from this angle, but I'm sure you can trust that it was also very messy.

I can already feel the inspiration flowing! I have already finished a few swaps and started on a LO. Nothing is more inspiring than a clean work space.

I still have some stuff to put up on the walls, and a bunch of embellies I need to purge. And I shopped the garage and found a table that fits my sewing machine perfectly. So, all in all, my craft room is coming along quite nicely!


PS - Did anyone catch The Office after the Super Bowl? It was hilarious! Definately one of the funniest episodes this season! I <3 PB + J!
