If you remember, a few years ago, I made my first craft room:
It was a wonderful, dreamy place to be. But, we had a small problem. We were paying 100 dollars a month to store boxes of junk in a storage building. I decided to move to a smaller room of the house, so we could bring all those boxes of junk home, and save a hundred dollars each month.
So, I moved into a smaller room:
Well, I soon realized that there was not enough room for me and all my crafting pursuits in that tiny room. The only thing I had room to do was knit. I had to do my sewing on the kitchen table, and all my spinning in the living room.
So, I decided to let my hubby use the small room as his cave. We painted the walls beige, and he moved in. It is a perfect fit:
So now, all my craft stuff had taken over the living room:
And I had the insurmountable task of going through all the boxes of junk in my future craft room:
The first thing I did was to make room for my rocking chair, so I could at least knit in there occasionally. Then, I started going through boxes of junk one at a time, taking things to Goodwill, and throwing some things away. I was finally beginning to make the task a bit more manageable. At least the boxes weren't all the way to the ceiling anymore:
This past week, I was finally able to see the floor in there again!
But, my poor hubby is suffering a bit, because we are taking the boxes into his cave to work on them together.
Today, he helped me get a lot more boxes out, and it looks even better!
I want to go ahead and clear out the room, because I want to take up the carpet, and put down some vinyl floor tiles I found at Lowe's for a good price. I want to lay them down diagonally like this:
I also found a wallpaper border that I want to put all around the room, where the peach and pink paint meet:
I wonder if we will EVER finish this project?
