This is the second time that I'm writing this entry...I hit the wrong button and lost my truly inspiring post!! It really wasn't that inspiring, but I managed to write a few clever lines...so, here I go again!
Well, thanks to inspiration from many crafting blogs and true determination, I am finally on the road to creating my own craft space. I can't function where I'm set up now and feel very stifled! So I'm purging my daughter's first bedroom dresser set which is "high-quality" pressboard, cardboard and plywood!! You know what I mean....the drawers pull out crooked, sawdust spews all over, they don't stay on the center track and the bottoms are falling out!! Really if you looked at them you'd never know it. They are faux cherry with federal brass pulls...the outside shell is not laminated, but has proven to be indescructable....just don't pull out the drawers!! Hopefully the dressers will end up in the home of a DIY-er who will give them some new life.
So now.....I'm going to put a long work table/desk in the space where the long dresser was, a tall storage cabinet where the tallboy was, and fill in the side spaces with the storage cubes from Michaels. I'm probably going new with the first two choices unless I decide to repurpose an old table from my mother's hoarders-style basement! I decided to go with white as the room is a pale yellow with white moldings. There's an antique cherry bed in there which I will probably replace with an old iron headboard at some point. The room colors are primarily pink, sage, ivory and yellow with bits of other dainty colors. My mom is near 90 and has started giving me 'jingies' which include little cups and saucers, milk pitchers, sandwich plates, milk glass, Hull pottery, etc. I've been using that room to display what I have, so the white should work well. I'll post pics in the near future so that you can see what I came up with.
Hope you are having an inspiring day!
