My new room and a card!!

Hi everyone!! Im so excited I can share with you my new room! It was allot of work to tear down, move, clean, patch, paint, carpet, put Ikea stuff together, hang, put everything back, etc. Took 3 days but I am more than overjoyed with the results! 


Lemme show you the before:
(Click on any of the pictures for a larger size)

Look at that horrible carpet! Yuck! And those tables were 'ok' but not what I really wanted. And everything was semi-organized but really didn't have a place. I wanted the room to be functional. 

Heres the room emptied out:

This is only a small part of my stuff. The rest was in my closet and in the hallway. But you can see how much stuff I have and emptied out of the room.

Now for the next step after painting and carpet, putting the furnishings in:

My hard workers - my Husband (in the star wars shirt) and our family friend. They are hanging shelves after putting in the Ikea furnishings.

Now the best part, after putting everything back. Heres my new room:

To the left is my new Mac. On the floor is my baby Prince. And to the right is my stamp shelves and desk.

From the previous picture, turn your head left in the room and you come to the first Expedit Ikea cubbie. I still have allot of organizing to do. And Ikea didn't have the right containers I wanted so everything is in the open. I have to order containers and I plan on hanging paper lanterns from the ceiling. Can't wait!!

Swing around and left and you come to the next cubbies. Again more organization still happening and I can't wait to get the containers so everything doesn't show. I like things very CAS.

Swing left again and you come to the entrance as you are facing out from my desk. Isn't the Hawaiian shores paint gorgeous? I LOVE IT!! Hubby has to finish the carpet at the entry.

Swing left again (we are doing a 360 if you didn't figure that out already lol) and you can see a close up of my stamp shelves and rack. There are so many stamps on that rod that its bowing LOL. And you can see the gorgeous twine, copics, sewing machine, Hero Arts stamps and so much more. (And the cute little flower drawing you see in the left corner of the picture done by my daughter tonight for me, she loves the room)

Turn left just a hair and you see my paper storage and more stamps. 

Turn around left more and you see a close up of my cubbie and Mac.

I hope you enjoyed the tour of my new studio!! I LOVE IT!! I am in Heaven! It's my dream come true. I have always wanted a room like this with lots of storage and a bright and cheerful color. I love to feel happy when I am crafting and this room definitely makes me so happy!! 

And I was so excited to do my first card in my room! I couldn't wait!! So here is my first card in my new room:

I just LOVE the painted wall as a background for cards too!! For this card I used some Hero Arts stamps, some Echo Park Paper 'For the Record' and some twine.

Thanks for letting me share this excitement with you! Im so overly happy with the end results and its so nice to be done for the most part and be able to create in my new room!

Have a wonderful week!
