This is my daughters old bedroom. Currently it is storing all my craft supplies,and furniture.The bookcase,table,and end table all will return to my craft room,which use to be my sons room.All the furniture is second hand.There use to be a consignment shop in town,where I bought the kitchen table,and bookcase. The end table or maybe it was a dry sink? I bought at a garage sale. It had been painted a bright blue,then i spray painted it tan,and now its white! The stuff you see on the right side is mostly photo albums,scrapbooks,and supplies for scrapbooking.I'm trying to think of a way to organize everything in a neat and orderly fashion.I saw at Lowes canvas brown bins,with blue trim.I thought I might buy those to store some things inside. I might buy some rectangular willow baskets to put the scrapbooks in. I'm not too sure how I'm going to do this.
My husband installed the chair rail today.While he worked on one area, I was on the opposite side pulling up the carpet. All I have to do tomorrow is pull up the staples that are still in the center of the room.That should take about 5 minutes. I bought shabby chic curtains at Target,but took them down so we could have sunlight while we worked. The curtains need ironed too! I'm going to buy tiebacks for the curtains,they don't look so nice just hanging straight.
I love this color blue,and the white trim and furniture gives it a classic look. I hope my husband can get a good start on the floor tomorrow. Its hardwood laminate,just clicks together. I'll post any updates when I get them!

Hi, It looks like you have the beginnings of a really nice room there. I love the color. I think scrapbooking stuff is hard to organize. I have some plastic drawers I used for some of the little stuff and some folders made to hold the paper. I keep all mine in my closet on some shelving. Is this primarily going to be a scrapbook space? What else will you be doing in the room? Linda
Primarily scrapbooking. I would like to find a table big enough to sew.I had a friend live with us last summer,and she left her desk for us to store.It was perfect for sewing,unfortunately she came by a feww weeks ago and took it to her apartment! The table was from world market,and probably was a kitchen table,but she used it as a desk.I would love to have a reading nook,with a chair of some sort.I'm going to be looking at TJ max and see if they have any type of chair that would fit the space. It'll be a work in progress.Hubby is in the beginning stages of putting down the laminate wood floor.
I know for me there isn't a table big enough for scrapbooking. I usually have stuff on ever surface when I'm scrapbooking, so it's nice to have some surfaces when you can sit your materials. A chair would be nice. I used my wicker settee because it is small scale and doesn't take up too much room, but it is comfortable. I used an old hamper for an end table and just covered it with some fabric. It's probably good that you have to wait on your hubby, it will give you lots of time to look and plan. Linda
