New Room

When we finished our basement and Nicole moved downstairs, I inherited her old bedroom and lovingly called it my 'craft room'. I moved my things in as fast as I could before anyone else could stake their claim on the spot. I had plans to 'cute it up'....but there just wasn't any time, or something like that.

So this.....I'm so embarrassed to even show it....has been what I have been using as my craft room/office/where-I-study/a-little-of-everything....room.

I know, it's bad. Really bad.

Last week when Erik went out of town I decided that it was time to re-do it. I don't know what it is about Erik going out of town, but I always like to do some big project while he's away to surprise him when he gets home. So I went shopping....found a few things....including a couple of these lovely pictures, which I made in to chalkboards because I fell in love with the frames.....

And this is how it turned out! So much better, don't you think?
I love how the chalkboards turned out!

But the bed has to be my favorite part of the room! It's so inviting- the kids always end up visiting with me, laying on it, while I do schoolwork. I love it!
And there you have it. Erik was quite surprised when he got home, which is always my favorite part. :) I probably should have spent the time working on my papers, but this was way more fun!
