Come Craft with Me!

Today I have been doing some crafting, unfortunately I can't show you what I've been up to because I have been working on projects for the Twilight swap and don't want to ruin the surprise for Denise!
Instead I thought I would take on a mini tour of my craft room!
I love the shabby chic look and try to mix vintage and modern finds but had to compromise a bit in this room. I needed practicality and lots, and lots of storage!.
I tried to keep to the general theme of the rest of the house by painting the walls a pale apple green laying a white wooden floor and keeping the furniture white. I kind of figured that there would be so much lovely stuff to play with in there the modern furniture wouldn't grate too much!

The room is heaving with goodies which I try to keep organised in boxes (but always find things seem to move themselves!!)
There are so many things in this room that make me smile but here are a few of my favourite things!


My books, especially the Rachel Ashwell ones! I can get lost in the pictures!




I have tried to bring the vintage theme into the room with pictures like this, I also have some vintage style scrapbook pages of my grandparents on the walls which I love!





Prima flowers and ribbons always seem to find a way onto my paper crafting projects, I love a flower!!!


I spent ages trying to find an acceptable chair! I really didn't want an 'office' chair but needed something practical and comfy as it was quite likely that I would end up in it for long stints. I found this White wicker office chair in Ikea and thought it was the very thing I was looking for (the cute cushion was a gift from Victoria)



I'd better get back to it now, hope you liked the pictures! I'd really love to hear about where you fellow bloggers craft too :)

Lots of Love xx

  7. I did have my own craft room - but the young man decided it would be better for him to sleep in there and turn his room into a teenage "den" for entertaining smelly boys!!!I'm currently doing it in the conservetory, but not very succesfully!!
