Is it a junk room or a hobby room ???

My husband and kids called it the junk room, I called it my sewing/craft/work in progress room. But it just seemed to attract clutter. So three days after Christmas I decided something needed to be done about it. Plus, I was tired of the color and bored with everything in the room. So I took action. I got busy cleaning it out and put Carl to work. The cabinets came down and the paint went up. Same cabinets just repainted them. This is what it looked like before:

And now for the reveal.... Here is what it looks like now:


The walls went from a light blue to a nice creamy beige. The cabinets are now black - new curtains and I am loving it. We even moved the countertops around a bit and the setup works so much better.

Oh, and as for the shelf I found at the thrift store (see previous post)... here is what it looks like now:

I still need to add a few items to this shelf but you get the idea. Now if I could just get everything put back away.

WOW! That room looks great. You'll probably want to spend all your spare time in there working on projects now!
