I've Moved!

Nope not house or blog hosts ..... crafting spaces.  Part of the de-clutter and simplifying process was to move my crafty gear from the lounge (where it was taking over) to a new home.  

I now officially have a craft room ... well 90% of the room is mine ... shush don't tell my husband ... its going to be a surprise when he gets home to find the study has been converted - only joking I did tell I was going to do it - I think he is worried it will soon look just like my little nook in the corner of the lounge! 

Here's the desk where I used to sit:

I used to sit here and make everything - surrounded by chairs I had borrowed from the kitchen to give me a bit more space.  My stamps and card stock lived in the cupboard in the kitchen.

And here I am now:

A huge desk - and I have everything plugged in and ready to go - expect to see more embossing LOL.

Just so tidy - wonder how long it will last!

Look at all that space.

Very excited and really looking forward to sitting at my new desk. 

The lounge looks heaps better now that all my stuff isn't 'all over the place'. 

The only downside is that I can't see the television from the new craft room - but that's okay, once I've watched Coronation Street and Eastenders I just pop into my little haven and crank up the radio.

I'm a little sad to leave my little secretary desk - I bought it in an antique shop with some money my granny left me - it reminded me of both my granny and grandad.  

So I am planning to convert it to a gift wrapping and letter writing desk - back to its original use I think - it will be good to have everything in one place.

It suits our lounge perfectly and I know we will never part company.

I was too embarrased to photograph it in its entirety before I started to move things into my own room (insert blushing smilie right here).

 

Right best get into that new room and start creating I think.

Oh that looks lovely lovely Nikki. A gorgeous space for creating. Love the secretary desk too in the lounge - a beautiful journal writing space? Happy crafting in your new set up.
