the craft room, redux

so the new tv has sparked a snowball of reorganization around arinhouse.  i’ve a spring-cleaning, decluttering, reorganizing obsession.  i’ve managed to finish most of the downstairs (i still have the kitchen to do) and i’ve a short list of things i want / need to do after i get done with everything.

my latest flurry was my craft area, which had become a general dumping ground for “stuff i dunno where to put”.  the room is *actually* supposed to be a kitchenette area, as it’s just off the kitchen, with a serving bar, etc, but due to it’s HUGE sliding glass doors with lots and lots of light and my lack of a need for a table and chairs, i’d turned it into the craft area.  but…my craft supplies were in lil clear plastic shoeboxes, lined up on the shelves, and really, it looked very utilitarian, very lacking in any personality and just *junky*. 

so i fixed it   mostly.  i still need to do a few things in there, but it’s coming along great.

there’s several big boxes of stuff sitting on the floor right now that i need to donate, i want to buy a white wicker chair for the desk (omg, i hate that folding chair!) and i need to replace the ceiling fan (preferably with a white one), but otherwise, i am LOVING it. 

with the ~herb garden~ themed boxes and being right off the kitchen, it all blends well… the boxes and baskets were all on sale at michael’s :D i <3’d michael’s :D

i might actually make use of the room again!
