I started to become overwhelmed with the PILES of stuff in the guest room/about to become "craft room" and wanted to have it ALL *right now*. I wanted the organized/cute/decorated/brightly colored/coordinated craft room that would make my blog readers proud. :) (oh why do we think about what others will think?)
Then after a few starts at making this grand vision happen, I realized that I just had to get everything in a place, some place. Then, as Flylady would say, I can declutter it a little at a time, organize and decorate!
So, here you have the craft room as it is now, in pictures.
It is a delightful room to be in and we both hung out in here together tonight. Adrian with his laptop and me with some sewing. It was so nice!
I have completed (and cleaned up from) my first craft in here! So much fun!
Without further ado . . . the photos:
who would have guessed games, glue guns, tags for wrapping packages
and picture frames are contained within?
If you have pictures of your craft room/spare bedroom/similar space, I would love to see them for inspiration as I go forward. Leave a link in your comment! :) Thanks! Kelly

Hi! Love your craft room! The chalkboard is adorable.

Thanks for your comment! I am glad to meet you and find your fun blog!
I love it and I am totally jealous!
Love that sunlight streaming through the window! I am in awe of your craft supply stash. Wow! I think the more you use your craft room the more it will take on the colorful, creative look you want. At least now you are organized; that is the first, huge step!
Mine is in progress, but I'll share a couple of links to my dream craft rooms!

INCREDIBLE! My favorite parts are the color-organized crayon jar, the My Little Pony, and the red and blue vintage lunchboxes/cases!
...oh yeah, and anytime you write the word "squiggles", it's a guaranteed smile from your old roomie. (That's just REAL fun!)
Can't wait to come and see you and stay in the guest/craft room. Do you think if I sleep in there, it will transform me into a crafty person?
Adorable, as always, Kelly!
Miss you, friend!
