My WOMAN CAVE progress. (UPDATE & PICS #23)

East of Caroline and north of me? That narrows it down considerably.

Are you a Yankees fan or a Red Socks fan??

UPDATE WITH PICTURES:
Thought I would give a status report. This has been taking me longer than I thought. However, since my DH is overseas this year, its been a good distraction. At the same time, I've taken on purging the house & holding a yardsale, planning a trip with friends, and revamping our household office systems & record keeping. WHAT WAS I THINKING?! LOL

My parents came up & helped with the sewing & IKEA cabinet building. The bones of the room are done. I still have stuff to unpack & put away. Pictures to hang. And just pretty it up. The pics were taken while in progress with my iPhone, so they aren't great & the room is a mess while doing it. LOL

So here is where I'm currently at.
Hope this link works.

Wow! Looks great and I'm jealous! I'd love to have an entire room to myself. I currently have one corner of the living room and am quickly outgrowing it.

Congrats on getting more done. I find my home is a slow work in progress.

Its not as pretty as some of the rooms I've seen here & online. I would loved to have painted but we hate painting. And there wasn't anytime before DH left.

I was going for function before anything else. My previous furniture & arrangement had me feeling very claustrophobic. I have room to work now, and office storage & closet storage all within a couple of steps.

Its not going to make any magazines, but that's ok. It is what it is.

I think it looks great! Lots of storage and work space!

Thank you. Those were what I was going for. CLOSED storage most of all. I've done the open storage route before and it doesn't work for me. It clutters my mind. And I can't clean & dust all that stuff. This time I wanted doors! lol

 

[cluvsdisney]

I completely agree about closed storage - there are too many bits & pieces to get dusty. I did a mini scraproom makeover in January and the last thing I need to do is work out something to store my paper. Right now it's in those cropper hopper boxes sitting on a counter but I need to find something I like where it's covered or something.

Just found this thread and I'm so excited for you and your new scrapping room! I know you say it won't be much...but I've taken over the tiny little kitchen area of our apartment and currently work out of tupperware bins. I have a long plastic table my mom bought me a few years ago (I just ditched the kitchen table altogether and we eat at snack trays in the living room now...) and my Cricut is set up on a spare snack tray. I can't wait to buy a house and have an actual craft room!

And I had to laugh at the fact that us CT'ers identify where we live in the state by which baseball team we favor...funny but true!

LOL yeah. I'm east of the river so it's Red Sox nation here!

I converted my dining room. We never used it anyway.
