Craft room wrap up

I am happy to report that I am finally finished with my craft room.  No more craft room posts after this one. Yea! I used Saturday to finish hanging pictures and making my window treatment.  The whole room was done on a budget using a lot of what I already had.

I had a whole blank wall that needed something on it.  I bought some two dollar frames and spray painted them turquoise and gray, and added a framed doily my great grandma made to fill that wall.  Just spraying some inexpensive frames give them a more custom look.
I took the left over fabric I used on my sewing chair and used it for my window treatments.  I added a little ribbon and bling...and in my hubby's words, made it look girly.  Doesn't he know by now...he married a girly girl.
Um..yea, that's the treadmill...I have to share the room with that.  A constant reminder that while I am hot gluing, I should be exercising instead.  Anyhow...here is the room finished. I used an old sofa table, painted it gray and it became my paper table that now holds my cricut. I bought some shelves from Ikea and filled them with all my fun crafting treasures.  A glass container to hold buttons, my fun turquoise box to hold my hot glue guns, tool boxes to hold my crafting paints, and magazine holders for all my inspiration.
I have had this shelf since I was married. It was white and stored my dishes in my small apartment. I stenciled some red checks, and letters on the side, added some chicken wire on the front, and it became my craft cabinet. I bought some cute containers to store my stamps, scissors, and sewing supplies, and it has become a great place to store my crafting supplies.
Here is a pic of the whole room. It was a fun project, on that I am glad I finished.  I love having a space all to myself to be creative, and it was fun to have something to do and think about in the cold month of January.

If I include all the shaking of my hands and hopping round and round I do after I've burnt myself with my glue gun - whcih I seem to do each time I use it - then it definitely counts as exercise!! Possibly even an Olympic event sport!!

How nice to have a space to call your own, Erin! Now you just need to figure out how to craft AND walk on the treadmill at the same time. Thanks for your visit!
