Craft Room / Office Redo

Since we moved into this house, I wanted to make sure that I had a little spot that I can call my own where I can put my creativity to work. "Back in the day" I was huge onto arts and crafts. I mean I still love them but haven't made the time to do it and quite frankly, I didn't have the energy to do it. As a result, I kind of felt lost. It was definitely time for a change.

At first this little spot was going to be in the basement, in this perfect little corner. There was a little BIG problem though. There was no heat on that side of the basement so in the winter, it would get as cold as it was outside. Yikes! So we had to change our plans. Well since we have pushed off Baby #2 a little bit longer, we now have this spare bedroom that we have been currently using as our office that would work perfectly. In fact, the hubs insisted that I make it the craft room as long as it would have a small spot for him when he needed to work on computers. Yay! So now I have the perfect room!

Of course like any re-do, this will take time to finish. That's the part that drives me crazy because once I get started, I want to finish. I will TRY to be as patient as I can.

To get started, I had to start planning on what I wanted done.

Here are a few of my ideas of what needs to be done:

> Paint the room
> Get a table / desk that is big enough for both me and my hubs
> Get a small table for my sewing machine
> Get bookcases / shelving for storage
> Get a cabinet of sorts for our office paper and such
> Organize our crafting and office supplies
> Decorate. Decorate. Decorate.

It's going to be one heck of a project but should be fun! Stay tuned... As I make updates, I will share them with ya.

**BTW, I know I suddenly disappeared but I am going to choose to ignore it. There's really nothing to explain. Seriously, nothing happened. Just a break.
