Just some pics.

There's not a lot to say these last couple of days, so here's a few more pics of the craft room.



These are close-ups of the ribbon jars, some IKEA vases and an old camera Julie got from her grandparent's house years ago.

Organized Prettiness

We've been super busy this Labor Day weekend hanging out with Julie's mom, two nephews and niece. It's been fun, but we are tired too. Here are some photos of the new shelves and things in the craft room. We think it's all very pretty! :)

Lovely Wrinkles

Here is a finished corner in the craft room...with wrinkled curtains that I need to take care of, but I thought I'd share anyway. I like how this little corner turned out and think the colors work really well together.



Here is a tea-towel that I bought from Skinny Laminx. I've been wanting to share a photo of this for a really long time, but just haven't gotten around to it. It also has wrinkles, but I didn't want to take the time to iron them out! I LOVE this so much that I can't bear to use it because I don't want to ever have to wash it and see its lovely, vivid redness fade away. I believe its permanent home will be here in the craft room, but probably---eventually in a frame of some sort. I also hope Sarah's looks great in her new blue and red themed kitchen.

A Little Preview

Been spending most of my days painting while here at the house alone while trying to overcome the sad feeling that I keep feeling...hopefully the hormones will straighten themselves out. I think I'm too inside my head right now and I keep thinking...thinking...thinking! While thinking, I shall keep painting. This is a little preview of the craft room without the new desks we're getting from IKEA or anything on the wall yet, because it's not finished--just finished being painted! I've moved on to the next painting project which is the laundry room and that has proven to not be a fun room to paint. I knew it wouldn't be a walk in the park, but jumping behind a washer and dryer to attempt to paint behind them, was quite an interesting feat. The primer is mostly done, then on to the awesome orange! Oh and yes, that's a radical, funkafied orange sofa in an aqua room! I might be scared of a lot of things, but I doubt I'll ever be accused of being afraid of COLOR!

In a Funk...

I'm in a total funk today and not sure why...could be somewhat due to the monthly visitor being on its way! No fun. I'm just in one of those moods where I don't feel like I'm creative, artistic or unique at all....a mood where I feel like I'm not "the nice one" "the funny one" "the smart one" etc...just blah! One of those moods where you feel like you could disappear and it might would matter to one person.
Instead of focusing on that, I guess I will show a preview of some goodness that might be headed this way in the form of lighting for the hallway and the craft room. We haven't completely made up our minds, but these are two I've picked out and Julie is on board I think. We just have to check out dimensions, etc...I like the large round pendant in the pic that has two. I think that would look best in the craft room.

Work in Progress for Craft Room

This is just a little something I'm working on (while waiting for craft room paint to dry, ha!). I plan for these to go in the craft room and chose these numbers because my fav. is 2 and Julie's is 3. I still have to put another coat of paint in some places and outline them in black. So far, I'm mostly happy with them.
