Craft Room Makeover


My new craft corner!


Oh joy! My craftroom is starting to come together! Here's a picture of the corner of my new desk (made from 2 doors). My desk features the following:


Fun pink & brown photo album I found for a steal!


Fun vase from my Mom.


"Happeez" clips that I'll eventually stick to the wall, or something, to display projects. Found 'em at a local store, Noteworthy (AKA: http://www.nightowlpapergoods.com/).


Green suitcases from http://www.pinklovesbrown.com/


The "Organized & Inspired Scrapbooker" that has helped me organize my space.


Flowers from my wedding.

I'll keep you updated with more pictures!

Craft Room Makeover

The desk legs - white dowels

For those of you following my craftroom makeover, I haven't stopped working on it. I painted a second door/desktop and I just painted the second coat on the legs. These legs were recycled from a desktop we put in our office -- we didn't end up needing the legs.
I went to the hardware store today to purchase brackets/supports to secure the desktop to the wall. I was shocked to learn I would be paying $7/each! $7 x 6 = $42! Ugh! Oh well, it will be worth it in the end. Besides, that's the most money I've had to spend so far because I have been recycling pieces that I already had. I hope to assemble the desk tomorrow with my husband's help. I want my craftroom back in order! I haven't made a greeting card or scrapbooked in a month!

Great Summer Necklace from Beadup!


I just notice this beautiful necklace on www.beadup.etsy.com. Would this be beautiful to wear to a wedding with a linen dress? Lovely work!
