Transition

Most women like to move their furniture around. I especially have to be Ms. Goldilocks and try out every possible scenerio before I find the best fit for me! As soon as DD went of to college I snapped up her bedroom for my Scrap Studio.

But, no, it's too dark in there. I feel isolated from the rest of the family. My dining room has beautiful lighting. So into the dining room I moved.

One day the big bad wolf came and blew the whole pine cabinet down, crash to the floor it went never to be used again.



Time marched on and the family began to grow, holiday meals were to be planned, company was coming!



Off I went to the now junk room of a third bedroom to restore it to a magical third bedroom for my guests. One with pink walls and a funky green painted floor, down pillows, soft bed linens, you get the idea!

The room was gutted and fresh paint applied to the concrete floor after the stinky old carpet was removed. The closet was emptied of all of DD's personal items and painted with fresh paint. The shelves were repositioned to suit my organizational needs.

OH NO, I thought! This is a perfect scrap studio! It's just too great to go to waste as a bedroom used only twice or three times a year. It must become my DREAM SCRAP STUDIO! Time is passing and things are evolving, soon, very soon my room will be complete, the Christmas tree will go up and I will have my room to enjoy! Here's how it looks so far:

you should see the duckie holder in the bathroom, and all the duckies elsewhere in the room!!

I think it's a very nice room!
a good place to hide away from the rest of the noise and confusion of a house. You're going to love it!
