Day 1 of Craft Room Fix up.

Update on our kitchen lighting situation - our electrician could not make it last night, so we are still using a floor lamp (that we have for emergencies - like these). Hopefully he will come over tonight and fix us up!

So in yesterday's post I said that I would take at least 30 mins a day to get this Craft Room up to par. Well yesterday night was Day 1.

I want to go over ideas of what I want to do in this room and where I want it to be by the end of this series.

a) I want it to be accessible. Meaning that I want to be able to find things and work on projects with comfort and ease!

b) It needs to look good. I mean no one wants to work in a space that looks un-inviting!

c) I need a small tv and cable hookup. I don't know about you, but I almost always (unless it involves paint/spray paint) do my project with the tv on.

d) Just be fun and inspiring!

So, for day 1-here is how it looked when I started:

Full of stuff!! So as you can see the walls are already painted and ready to go. So paint, check! As well you can kind of tell that I have a make shift Pottery Barn desk - you know the one with the $1,000 price tag that is freaking fabulous!! Well hubby made me this one with two shelves that we got for free from my sister and then a piece of wood on top. It works, but it is not cute. It will be painted and moved to the middle of the room where the bed is. Sooo the air mattress and lovely sheets and pillows have to go. To the right of the air mattress is my sewing table that I got for $5 at my favorite thrift store. I think I will move it to the far right corner of the room once we move the craft desk to the middle.

Ok.. so at the end of day 1 - here is what the room looked like:
AHHHHHH... nothing got done! Let me tell you why, the reason is because it was my aunt's birthday (and I forgot that we were going to celebrate at the restaurant) so when I made the challenge to myself, I did not remember that I would have to start today instead of yesterday.

So unofficially, today would be day 1... so get ready for my first day of the CRFU! <--that doesn't really look right, does it? It's the texting way to write out Craft Room Fix Up... but I guess it could be made up to mean something else with the FU at the end... even though, that is sooo Not Me! LOL...

Hasta!
