Remember when I couldn’t decide on what to do with this room {history here}? Well, moving two chairs and a small table into that space (shopping from around the house) and testing an extra dining area seems to be working well…
I’m so excited I can’t stop myself from making an announcement to share the exciting news with you! Last week I shared that I was in the “Top 12 2012 1st Projects Contest” at WhisperWood Cottage (x2). I really was all ready to be happy for one of the other talented ladies – so many amazing and inspiring projects. (See the Top 12 HERE.) (all entries here…a collection of some really creative projects.) I entered my faux fireplace/pallet shelf project and my stairwell landing makeover:

Now I need to go let that sink in. I’m NEVER going to be able to sleep tonight. I feel like I’m already dreaming! 🙂
I think I’ve only shared a peek of my craft/office space in the past. I challenged my flu-fighting self to clean it up yesterday in order to accomplish something. It sometimes quickly becomes a dumping ground for everything craft related. Note, this is a tiny room…so while it looks like I may border on ‘hoarder’, it is all organized! I confess, it’s not only craft supplies but just things I like and things that I might find a use for in the future. It is a lot crammed into one small room.

This room before was a spare bedroom that never got used…

I moved the bed to a guest room downstairs.
And moved my office/craft stuff upstairs. (So visitors don’t have to see a mess if I’m in the middle of a project.) Now, everything old looks fun and organized. I love that I don’t have to always use the dining room table for craft projects.
