New Month....New Scraproom

What have I been doing for these last six weeks?  My husband and I have re-done my scraproom and I just love it.  It is in the basement and had wood paneled walls on three sides and just a block wall on the fourth.  It really was hideous.  He has told me for several years that if I would clean it out he would sheetrock the walls for me.  Well here is what I was up against.




Lots of clutter and insanity.  There was actually more than you see in these photos, I didn't take before pics but had these from a few years ago.  I had acquired much more than just what you see here.  I finally decided it was time to get this over with so I brought home many boxes from work and began the tedious task of boxing up all my stuff.  We cleaned out the room and began the re-model.




My sweet husband added some plugs to my room...I went from having two to seven.  After the sheetrock was up and mudded and sanded I got to paint.  I chose Robins Egg Blue for my color.



I love this color...it is such a bright and happy color.  Then began the chore of moving everything back in.  It took me two weeks to unpack everything and find a place for it.  I still have a few minor things to work on to get it just the way I want it.





I still need to hang some shelves on the wall for my wood mounted stamps and bring my sewing machine back in.  I just love it now....sometimes I go down there and just sit at my desk and look around.  I know,  just call me a nerd....LOL.  Now that this is near completion, maybe I can get my mojo back and get caught up on my scrapbooks.
