Today we have a little inspiration for your crafty area, courtesy of my parents.

The other day Emma and Addie were trying to talk us into letting them get bunkbeds and share a room and I asked them “But what would we do with the extra bedroom?”

Um…hold the horse. I think the “extra bedroom” is sounding like it needs to become Momma’s craftroom! I could turn my corner into an entire ROOM. Yes. Looking for bunkbeds tomorrow.

I’ll just show you the corner of the basement that we all care about (although the entire basement got a redo and it looks amazing!), the corner that is now being called “Cheryl’s Cove.”

Here is before:

(Actually it is cleaned up a little bit…because that used to be a wall of stuff – I didn’t even know there were shelves over there!)

And here is after:

How much crafting could you get done in a space like that?? I love all of the space, the tables….and the organization. *Swoon*

Another look:

(Yes…those are all STAMP SETS stacked up over there!)

And the board Dad made her for her inspirations:

Also a good crafty project for all of you so inclined.

Tell me this doesn’t make you want to go knock down some walls and get your craftroom on?

Thanks Dad for sharing your hard work with us – and now we expect even greater creations from you, Mom!  (Just kidding…your cards are pretty fantastic already!)

Happy Tuesday – I’m off to actually finish some birthday presents that I can post next week, after all of our birthday-ing is done. Also on the list this week…Addie’s garden! I’ve been promising pics and the ones I took two weeks ago horribly misrepresent her little plot of earth since the plants have nearly doubled in size since then. The sunflower is nearly as big as her, so I’ll take some new pics tomorrow. AND….I promised at some point pics of the new bedroom, too. I took some, but it is really not very finished. I’ll get the work-in-progress pics up this week, too. Stay tuned….
