Makeover reveal!

It's time for revel of the office/studio/craft room/creative Room (A good name for the room is pending...) Any ideas? Hmm...

Normally I would have painted the walls in makeover, but since our house is on the market I decided leaving it neutral was the best decision. Also, the Vanity desk has plans for it's own makeover! YAY.

You can see the before of the room HERE but those who have been here know there is a whole history of this space. It has been squeezed into the corner of the living room, mixed in with the dining room, Switched between both our little bedrooms, and packed away completely. I was really tired of moving it around trying to make something work which really just did not. So I decided to go all out to make the room work for me! 

A bit of splurge furniture shopping and some fun accessories from local thrifty stores and I have a functional pretty space! 

When you walk into my room you see...

and...

A new cute but functional chair is still on my list for this space. 

My new desk is FABULOUS. 

This is a gorgeous refurbished writing table from For the Love of Fur. Jennifer was SUPER nice and did a fabulous job painting this piece. I found this piece on their page and fell in love before I realized they were 60 miles from me! That is a long way to go pick up a table that wouldn't even fit in our car. However, it was meant to be because her fabulous hubby was working in my town! He delivered right to my garage. That is some great service. I feel I should add that you should not expect delivery that it just worked out perfectly for us this time. I HIGHLY recommend them! 

Next I bought my pretty bookshelf from Target. 

This gave me some much needed storage. I am thinking if I have a bigger space I will be getting a second one for all our books that are in storage for the future move! 

That purple cube on the floor I use for recycling paper. With my coupons, paper dolls, notes, and lists I have a lot of papers that I hated to just throw away and it was a pain to carry tiny scraps to the kitchen. Okay, I am VERY clumsy and may have dropped them. Anyway, this is perfect and cute way to recycle! It was found in the Wal-mart office area on clearance months ago. 

My hubby got me this FABULOUS and fancy TV! It is the Vizio 32" Smart TV. It connects to Wifi so I can listen to pandora or watch netflix right on it. I really enjoy having a TV in my space because I do a lot of projects that I can do while I watch shows. My husband is a gamer and always taking over our living room.

I love him to pieces but we are home together A LOT. We have come to realize how much we each need our own time. So now I have a place to work, play, or hang out with friends and not be in each other's "bubbles" every minute. 

These Closet Maid fabric drawers give SO much storage. I bought them online trying to match the colors of the decor. My purple drawers came in more of a maroon and I am trying to not let it bug me.. ha! 

I created labels from scrap book paper and ribbons or tape. I plan to laminate them soon though. 

I actually have some empty drawers. SO MUCH STORAGE! 

Now, the less pretty but still necessary storage and items are stashed behind to door! 

I label everything so the hubby, my friends, or just me, can easily find what we are looking for. 

These are my new curtains and I really love them they are PERFECT and are also from Wal-mart. 

Here is the Vanity corner. You can see Part one of it's tour HERE.

Here is the little decor close ups from around the room.. 

This is a painting I painted for a class a couple semesters ago. 

Who doesn't love pretty lights? 

Thanks for looking at how I created a pretty and functional space in a small room! 

Thanks to my wonderful hubby for putting together my shelves and being okay with me taking over our only spare bedroom... again. He really is the best.

In future posts I will go into detail on some storage organization! 

Love,

A Creative Wife
