My space is finally ready for some Christmas crafting!

I finally have the creative room of my dreams! At least in this house, I could always use something bigger but this is a huge improvement.  I think this room has been redone more than any room in the house. But it's always been with leftovers or freebies, finally I was able to spend a little money and fix it like I want. I still have a few projects left to do BUT the layout is done! Ok, get ready for LOTS of pics!

Welcome in, this is the first thing you see..

 Look I even have a chair to sit and snuggle in.

 No, this isn't all of my ribbon, just the bits and pieces you have left after a project or the stuff that comes off of packaging. It's easy to have it right by the door so you can put it on a hook.

 It's a small room, I have to take advantage of every space.

 My goal is to have as much as I can at my fingertips, so tired of digging for stuff!

 Love my new Ikea curtains!!! They make me so happy, love the vintage feel!

 I love elephants, and dislike plugs, this covers one of those so I don't have to look at it. Bad blurry pic!

 Have you picked up a copy of this magazine yet, you should you won't be sorry! I showed you some highlights here.

 And my Ikea shelving, this was what I had been wanting and needing for a LONG time!

 My work desk, I have been in here everyday since I got it set up. Last night I almost got up at 3am to go and create something! I am just loving my space.

 Lot of necessities right at my finger tips! And see that photo? That reminds me of me and one of my favorite people in the whole world. (Love ya Karen) We always tell each other we won't let the other act or dress old. In this picture we have given up!

 And my collection of my favorite elephants. Yes that's a tv. I'm telling you if there was a fridge, I don't think I would ever leave the room.. oh and a potty. :)

 This is an elephant my daughter made me at school when she was little. It's a bell! LOVE IT!

 Great paint storage, the 2 wooden crates came from Goodwill and I just gave them a coat of spray paint. Now I can find any color really easily! Apparently I have a thing for green! There are 3 sections of greens. I can just see me now in the store, do I have any green paint? No I better pick some up!

Have you seen these sample paints at Home Depot? They are Martha's. I'll tell you more about those later. And the little tile next to them, my daughter made this one too. It's an elephant angel, she is so creative!

 Two of these great big shelves! The best part, not all of this storage is full, room to grow!

 A few of my stamps.

 Ms Sassy Pants. I don't know how you feel about your Silhouete, but me and Ms Sassy, have a love hate relationship. Right now I'm not talking to her! Sometimes she makes the simplest project sooo difficult. Am I the only one that feels this way?

 I still need to paint this. The dresser I got at a garage sale last year and the top storage is something I just picked up at a flea market. I can't decide on what color just yet.

 A little inspiration in the craft room is always a good thing.

 And then sometimes you realize... it is what is it, and turn out the lights and try another day.

 This is by an artist in one of my favorite vacation spots, Rockport, Massachusetts.

And a little angel to look over me as I work.

 And just so you know I'm keeping it real! This is the inside of this until I get it fixed...

and the closet is next. I think I am going to take the door off and put the same curtain in front of it, easier access and I get to look at more of that fabulous fabric! So let's just say I am tickled pink! I'll show some of the things I have been working on in the last few days this week so check back soon!

My craft space redo, take 10!

I am working on my workroom, AGAIN! The problem is the space is too small or I have too much stuff. I'm not sure but I think I'm sticking with the first one. The other problem is that I haven't ever really had any storage so I bought these shelves from IKEA, called Gorm.

They come unfinished, I am painting mine with some oops paint. This project is taking me forever, I am overwhelmed by it all. I just want it to all my stuff to fit in the room when I am done! But today I want to show you this beautiful new spray paint I found at Lowe's.

Isn't it pretty? I'd like to tell you the name of it BUT I threw the can away and I bought a new one, but it's in the car and it's late and cold outside so I'm not going out. I bought this wooden thing to hang on the wall and put my paint bottles in at Goodwill.

And a little closer look. Love this, such a pretty shade, reminds me of the ocean in Florida! Well that is it for now, nice little tease huh? If you want to see what my craft space looked like before, check it out here. 
Funny, this isn't what it looked like when I started redoing it this time, it is forever evolving!

I am soooo excited! This is the coolest project. I want to make 10 of them! You get the idea, I'm in love, not gonna do alot of talking just check out the pics. Oh how I wish I had my good camera, these don't do this thing justice.

Check out the bling on that cross! So what do you think, isn't this the coolest project? I have an idea for a Christmas one with the same kind of technique. Come back soon to check it out!
