I really wish I'd taken a better 'before' picture that would accurately portray the dramatic difference that was made to this room with the only change being the floors. However, I'm
glad I thought to take this one, at least!
While anxiously awaiting the completion of my craft room, I'd spent an obsessive amount of time online getting ideas for how I would organize my space. One of the first things I'd decided that I just absolutely had to have was a pegboard. I was on a limited budget, but the bigger obstacle was that I now live in the country where my shopping options are extremely limited. Those obstacles on top of my excitement and impatience led me to purchase the first pegboard I saw, which was at Walmart. In hindsight I wish I would've just waited a couple days and picked up a 'traditional' pegboard at Lowe's, but alas here it is:
My Pegboard:
I will most likely pretty it up a little when an idea comes to me. Please feel free to let me know if you have any ideas...I'm always up for suggestions!
And this is a picture looking into my room from the door:
The desk was hand made my husbands grandfather, and used to be used by his grandmother for crafting. I love this desk for this reason. I'd like to paint or refinish it in the future. This picture was taken a few months ago, so what is missing off my desk is my newer addition, as of mid-November, my newest obsession, my beloved Cricut!!! My next picture is of another family heirloom. This one belonged to my mother. It belonged to a whole bedroom set that she had since before I was born, I keep meaning to ask her exactly how long she'd had it. Anyway, a few years ago she lost her house, and this is the only piece of her furniture that remains. I am so glad that I have this piece of furniture and that it was incorporated into my favorite place!
My Craft Armoire:
Like I said earlier, these pictures are a few months old, and I'm always changing and adding things, so I'll post up-to-date pictures soon, as well as share more about some of the organization details that are working well for me. I just wanted to finally get a post up and get the ball rolling! I think getting up my first post was the hard part, and from here on out my posts will be a lot more frequent!
Thanks for taking a look at my craft room and being a port of my new endeavour of blogging! Please feel free to leave me any comments or suggestions, as this really is new to me, and I could use all the help I get! Lol.
