But that is okay, because it is so totally worth all of the hours, the crying, the swearing, etc etc. Actually, I found out - as this was our first big project of our doing - that the husband and I work really well together. Love that man.
As a reminder, here was the mood board I shared a few weeks back:

While I did not use the six shelves I bought, I did end up purchasing more bookcases from IKEA. So for now, I have PLENTY of storage space and I am no longer taking up space in other parts of the house (e.g. formal dining room!).
I think I stayed pretty true to my mood board... but I will let you be the judge.
Of course the day I decide to take reveal pictures, the Mr. Sun is playing hide-n-seek. Durn him.
The real before picture of the room does the room no justice. As in, it was CROWDED and bad. And messy and chaotic. I knew I didn't want to fill the space up with too much furniture. Although, I am considering a crafting table for the south side of the room, where there is basically an empty wall.

Well... before I take down the Internet by adding any more pics... I will finish up here. =)
Besides, I haven't been able to do anything crafty in a few weeks now... and I am itching to get my Modge-Podge on. Working on re-doing the downstairs guest bath next. I plan on making homemade art for the walls!
Okay, one more look.
Have a wonderful Monday!
I love that you are so, so organized but still have a bin marked "Stuff." I would have to mark most of my storage bins "Stuff." :)
ReplyDeletelol... very descriptive, aren't I?! The thing that I love about these Martha Stewart labels is that they are repostionable... so, when I get a box worthy of having its own name, I will be able to easily remove and add a new tag!
DeleteOh I love this! I'm trying to finish my craft room! Pinning this for inspiration : )
ReplyDeleteI'd love for you to stop by and share at my party!

Thank you! ;) I'd love to stop by and share! I ♥ Parties!!
DeleteI do the love the pops of yellow that you have throughout the room! It really brightens it up:) I wish that my craft room was this organized!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! ; Of course, once I start crafting, there's no guarantee it will stay this way! :D lol...

Thank you! ;) All linked up!!
DeleteOh, girlllll....you did so good here!
ReplyDeleteI love it. So organized, calm and fresh!
Your desk is so darn cute too; a great space to be inspired in!
That yellow desk is soooo great! I've been on the lookout for some mid-century mod end tables for my craft room, and the vision I have in my head is basically the drawer side of your desk. It's exactly what I want... now if only Craigslist could come through for me! Great job on the whole makeover. That yellow is so cheery.

Hi Jenna - Thanks for stopping by! ;) And thanks for the compliment... I love me some yellow! It's funny, around the time I found this desk, another blogger posted on a linky party the SAME EXACT desk (except for the fact that hers had two drawer pulls for each drawer) - that she scored for $20 at a thrift store. Crazy! Check out Bridget's desk... http://www.bridgeywidgey.com/2012/02/desk-redo.html
DeleteYour Craftroom is beautiful...great job. Love the Yellow...one of my favorite colors next to Pink and Zebra Print...lol. The book shelves look great. Great job on the overall room. I've been working on my craftroom for sometime now and been looking for inspiration anywhere I can find it...thanks so much.
