Reveal.......The HAPPY DANCE!!

BEFORE
Here is my messy craft room before the dance of the furniture.



Our octagon house is one that is pretty hard to decorate...if you've ever tried to make a room work with different sized walls you know what I'm talking about.  I measured and measured to see if I could squeeze the "hulk" into the corner...YEP...it fit.  So we (me and the mouse in my pocket) did the dance.
 I would have left well alone........but, I wanted the huge white cabinet out of the bedroom.  As I said earlier, I'm redoing or should I say *embellishing* the bedroom with new fabric...Black toile that is on order and the big hulk just wasn't working in there any longer.  


I talked to my daughter (Lollygag-Inn blog) and she said.....*Be careful Mom, we are getting old*.   GETTING.... I'm already OLD.  So sweet of her to be worried about me.  Love that girl.

Spent the entire day in there and there is still more to do...always more to do.  But, I'm confident that I did the best I could do. 

It amazes me how by moving a few key pieces, the room works better than it ever has before. 

Happy Dance..... Happy Dance..... Guess I've danced enough today.

  5. Sandy this looks like a room that you would get lost in for days creating and not want to come out. That makes it perfect. I love the cups strung on ribbon. It is really beautiful...Renee

  6. Sandy, thank your leaving me a comment about my stenciled bucket and becoming a new follower of my blog! I am now following your blog too. We are practically neighbors in real life - I live in Soquel.

    I am in love with your amazing craft room! I thought it was a little shop when I first saw the photos, before I read your post. It is gorgeous!

    xoxo,
    Amanda
