Where its all been happening...

This is the place I've been spending a lot of my time lately. Unfortunately my "craft studio" has not been finished before its been put to good use. Time is of the essence right now, and like most projects I undertake...I rarely finish them before I need to use them. ANYWAYS... I've been needing to store stuff for the shower and this room is available. (formerly Jordanne's bedroom...one day I will show the before and after pictures of this room's transformation.)

The baskets in the above picture are filled with goodies from Victoria's Secret, hand crocheted dishcloths, hair products, etc. I still have to finish all the custom jewelry we are using for prizes too. The picture leaning against the wall is an art project my son Ryan did in high school. I just love the dog, he makes me smile, so I felt it needed to go in my happy little craft studio.


On these shelves are some of the finished projects for the shower as well as craft room supplies. (some fabric to make aprons is sitting there waiting for my attention.)


The spare bed which often ends up being where I crash after a late night of crafting. I have plans to make a fun retro inspired quilt for this bed...in the meantime this duvet works.

This is our old dining set we brought up from the basement...it is serving the purpose to craft on for the time being. I do have plans to paint this set white. FYI the opened jar of gourmet jelly beans is being used for bridal shower favors, not sustenance while I craft. (okay, maybe a few have been eaten.)


Behind those doors and drawers are my fabric stash and supplies. A girl can never have enough hiding spaces and this room is full of great storage.



These are the colors I intend to use in that quilt on my "Bucket List". Gives the room a retro vintage feel. I can't wait to actually organize this space...in the meantime it serves the purpose.


This armoire was found abandoned on the side of the road...I wish I took a before picture. It truly was perfect for this room...more storage for craft supplies. I am storing the towel cake and a candle set we are using in the tablescape up on top. (yes, I found it at a garage sale and spray painted it!) Don'tcha just love that vintage fan I found in my great uncle's attic? (I am not using that in the shower by the way...)

...and beyond the table in that far corner is a pile of projects I have going on. A girl can never have enough projects on her "to-do" list. So there you have it! My work in progress work room! I hope to actually finish the room before the wedding, but on our timeline, I'm not seeing that happen any time soon.

I've been sick so I guess I missed some posts...what a great room. I'm just now trying to decide how to use our extra rooms...problem is we still have queen sized beds in each of the bedrooms...but I am using the closets for stuff I didn't want to go to the basement for anymore. LAZY I am...love the bright color...stimulating.
