My "Happy" Room

Oh, when I finished my craft room, I could hear angels singing. I was SO HAPPY! It turned out exactly how I dreamed it would. Sometimes I have great ideas in my head but when I actually do them, they never are quite right.

This piece of china from my Great-grandmother was my inspiration for the color scheme. I wanted happy, bright and cheerful. As you can see, I think the fabric was a perfect fit. I bought every last inch of it at Joann's and even then, I think it was less than 3 yards for everything.



I made curtains first and then a skirt to cover under the desk since I store stuff under there.





Then I wanted to make art for over my sewing table. The squares on the wall are styrofoam covered in scrap book paper and wrapped in black ribbon. Simple, easy and cheap.



And lastly, I painted a mirror I found at Goodwill and added the wooden embellishments on the top and bottom.



Last up, the chair I painted and made a seat cover for.



Honest truth now - does the room still look this clean now? Nope. That is life! But I still love it and enjoy sewing in there.

Next post will be about what I am sewing!
