New Craft Room ready for crafts

I am sooooooo excited we got the craft room put together (for the most part). In order to push myself to get it done I had invited ladies over to do some crafting. It was something that I have been dying to do but have not had the time and what better way to push my craft room re-due but to get a dealing to craft and invite friends of for the reveal. (I didn't tell any of them just in case I didn't get it done).  Everyone brought a card for us to make and I loved them all!!!! I had such a great time to be around creative ladies and spend time doing some crafting!
Each shelf has it's on "section" Stamping/Paper crafts, embellishments, Scarpbooking, Cricut, Sewing...

OK, with out further ado photos of the room- Please keep in mind that I have some decorations to put up on the wall :) (I will be posting them as I create them! ) I love the room and best thing is that it will fit 5 ladies for crafting! :D

New Craft Room table build

We have finally painted the two doors black and put them together with brackets. We also put 1X2's on the back of the doors to hold the bookcases in place.

We have built 5 of the 6 bookcases. (when putting the bookcases together we figured out that we could have 6 instead of 5) http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ameriwood-3-Shelf-Bookcase-Multiple-Finishes/17480009 . The one issue with these bookcases is there is no support on the backside of the bookcase so they leaned. Brad has a plan to make them stand up right.  He made them plumb by putting 1X2's between the left and right bookcases. (great idea Hubby) more photos to come... note the bookcases are not flush to the wall. There is a 15inch gap and that is how he will crawl in and put the 1X2's between the left and right bookcases.

New craft room update

The Bookcase for my new work table has arrived and I hope to talk Brad into working on the table tonight so I can start getting my room together. :) I am staying with the Pink/Black colors for the work areas. This time I am going to have more defined work areas. one for Sewing, Criuct, Stamping, Scrapbooking, etc.

I wanted to have a table that I could stand and work so I took the idea from Pinterest and got taller shelves. Here is the link to the ones I got: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ameriwood-3-Shelf-Bookcase-Multiple-Finishes/17480009  in Black. I got 5 of them so that I have more shelves all the way around.
The one thing that I am worried about is that the shelves are not a deep as I wanted but Brad has an idea to work with that.


I hope to post photos this weekend of the construction of the work table :)


I soooo can't wait to get my craft room back  up and running :)

New craft room spoiled my project

This weekend my husband and I decided that we should move my office into the old guest room and make the office a playroom for the kids. (the office is bigger) In moving of the large cabinet it actually broke apart!!! I was a little sad but I quickly came up with a new idea. :)  However, the idea of this post is now spoiled: http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6386936671443978184#editor/target=post;postID=6906410099766921850

I will post photos of the new craft room as soon as it is done :)  I am so excited about the new room/ layout!!!! :) as always I have found some great ideas from Pinterest! One idea is the new work table...SOOOO can't wait for it to be done :)
