#teetimesclosets

Yes the title is right closets.  My studio use to be in the family room when I started out in there I had one corner.  But then I needed a little more space and took over half of the room at that time I mostly scrapbooked and make cards and occasionally played around with jewelry making.  Then I began to sew again, purses, cloths for my grand kids, and yes for my american girl doll (shhhh you know there's a lil girl in all of us.)  So with sewing my room yet needed to be even bigger and it got to where the family room part of the room was a t.v. and a lazyboy.  My hubby moved to the front room.  Well like like any crafter then area was a mess most of the time.  To the point it was hard to want to have anyone over cause i was embarrassed of my room look like a tornado hit it.  The sad part was my family had our family times like Birthdays, Holidays in the garage.  Now how sad is that?  The below pictures is a sample of what that room looked like and trust me I'm ashamed to say this was a good day.

with this room being attached to the kitchen you can see the issue.  A EYE SORE for sure!!!

So while I was off work for a few weeks my hubby was on vacation and we plotted a "Regain the family room plan"  I loved that room the open windows the space.  My hubby said he thought it would be nice to move my space into the bedrooms we don't use.  At first I wasn't a fan but at same time I was tired of the mess everyone saw.  When I looked at this room I saw a craft room but when I looked at it though someone else eyes I saw a mess.  I had to admit also that it would be nice to have family time in this room and not the garage.  

So my hubby set to work making me a space I could work in and he worked all day for about 4 days to do it for me.  He had to move everything his self since i wasn't allowed to lift at the time.  He had me sit in a chair and tell him what I wanted and where I wanted it.  Kevin started out taking the closet doors out and then painting the room a color I would love.   GREEN of course.  I made me some purple curtains.  I wanted "my closet" as I call it to tease Kevin, bright and colorful.  Kevin fixed one room up to be my work room and then other room up for storing my supplies in.  The storage room is called my 401 room.... LOL!  

Again I remind you I was going to hate this and really felt like I really was going to be in the closet compared to the space I had before.  

My now studio:

And I have to tell you the first time I sat down in here I fell in love with my closet.  Its fun and cozy and a great workspace.  Thank You honey.

My 401 room:  Not sure a good spot for that light yet.  

Here is what my old room looks like now.............. a work in progress still but a great start for building family memories in this room.  The couch and two of the lazyboys are what use to be in our living room which now house new furniture.  I still have some work to do in here.

Time to get ready for work................ happy crafting.  Check back later soon I'll post what I've been up to in my closet!!!
