The Idea Post

I had one of those lightning, amazing ideas last night, inspired by this blog.

It was about our front room. It's the room that the front door opens into. Here is how it looked after we tore up the carpet prior to moving in.



Currently it is being used as our tool room (for the non-stop projects in this place).  This next pic was taken back in November.  There's more crap building materials and tools in there now. *sigh*


The previous owners used it as a living room. But we turned a a different space into the livingroom, and who needs two of those?

So, originally I had thought to make this the dining room. Big table, nice buffet... Can you see it?

(this is just a tiny bit over the top)

But, we have a table in the kitchen. And we don't really eat formal meals all that often (if ever).

So... why couldn't it be MY ARTSY CRAFT ROOM?!

I could still have a large table and interesting chairs set up (for fancy Christmas dinners or sewing, or scrapbooking, or general craftiness, or entertaining a friend over a glass of Crown Royal herbal tea). I've always wanted a neat table with all different chairs.  Why not now?

I see lots of cubbies and drawers and shelves full of artsy goodness. Inspiration on the walls, an easel in the corner, a sewing machine with a designated spot instead of being stuffed away when not in use...

 Crazy?  Maybe.  This room is the last on the list to refinish, so I have plenty of time to think about it.
