First Project

Here is my first project posted here on this handy dandy crafty website....

This is my new work and crafting space that will help to make this web page possible. We started painting the room right before Labor Day weekend. We wanted to do something different instead of just painting all of the walls, so between David's ideas and my own ideas we came up with this horizontal stripe. It turned out pretty good, not too much color, but just enough to accent the walls.

Then the weekend after painting we set up this desk area. We had purchased the desk from RC Willey. The plan was originally for David to build something that would match the rest of the furniture, but let's be serious... I might have never gotten my area done then!!! There are just too many other projects that he has to work on right now. This desk fits in just fine with everything. Then the shelf and other accessories are from IKEA. We aren't huge IKEA-ites, but they do have some handy dandy crafty things. I must say I LOVE having all of my punches up and having them so readily available. It makes things so easy to use.

You can see David's contribution to the space. A desk wouldn't be complete with out a HUGE computer monitor. Thanks honey!

It is so nice to have a place that helps to keep my stuff organized. And the best part is that I can leave my projects out even if they are undone. I don't even have to worry when it is dinner time any more. I can leave it out and it is not a problem. Yeah! First a piece of another room for a crafty area, and then someday I will be able to have a whole ROOM set up for all my crafts and projects. A girl can dream right?
