Before... this room was a HOT MESS! It was a catch all of everything unused and still boxed up after the move.
The walls were grey...the trim and bass boards were grey...the doors were GREY! BLAH!
Just a big room full of JUNK! Believe it or not there is a treadmill in there somewhere!!
I wanted to go bold in color for this room. I have been seeing this color everywhere and wanted to use it in a room so badly. So i went to Lowes and Picked it out. Valspar Jalapeno Jelly! :o) I LOVE IT! The picture doesn't do it justice at all! Here it is all painted. We used Bright white for the built ins and doors. And charcoal grey for the counter top. I wanted it to be a contrasting color. And i love the way it turned out.
And yes that is a dishwasher still in the middle of the floor. HA! Unfortunately that will live there till we finish the kitchen remodel. But just look at all that room. All that great storage!
I have a place to sew, paint and craft. The kids will eventually have a table to craft their little hearts out too! The hubby has a place to do ...whatever he wants to do. Exercise?
Can you spy a sweet little girl in the picture?? :0) You don't even know how excited i am to have my treadmill out from under boxes.
Here is my side of the built in. I have more hobbies than a person needs...hehe! My side houses all my fabric and notions for sewing, paint and brushes and canvases. And some photography things. And TONS of crafty things. I'm in need of a few cute baskets to organize. Ummmmm hubby can i have one or two of your shelves??
Yes i know. Hi, i'm ________ and i have a problem...a fabric problem!! :P The hubs banned me of buying any fabric till i use half of what i have. I just can't help myself....when i see a pretty fabric and it is on sale. Trust me though...while going through and folding all this fabric i got tons of inspiration from it. Lots of late night sewing coming up.....
And this is the hubmeisters side! Total man cave stuff. Stereo {check}, CD's {check}, car collections {check}, plane model {check}...he still has some things to put on his side that he will be adding later.
This room is large. But you can't tell it from the pics. I was standing in front of boxes that have yet to be gone though. Here is the other view. Still kinda a hot mess. But atleast it is a more organized mess. Goodwill i have a few boxes for you! Aren't those plastic brown room dividers just tacky!! Can't wait to put up real doors there! And get a curtain up on that other door. Behind the ugly brown dividers is our laundry room. Not ready to expose that room to the world yet...HA!
Well there you have it! Livable/workable bonus room space. Can't wait to get up curtains and artwork and family photos. Got tons of projects coming up so keep a watch out!!
This time of year is hard. It can be chili cold one day and warm and nice the next so i pulled a few things out of the closet and folded them in a drawer. Other than that their closets are all ready for fall and winter. I couldn't help myself from drooling over all the cute stuff they have to wear this upcoming season.
While i was cleaning out their closets they entertained themselves by....
Hiding in boxes and......
Undoing all the hard work i put into cleaning the closets..... :o) Oh bless them! 
I found this and knew i wanted the frame. Wasn't to sure about the painting. So i asked the little old lady how much she wanted for it. She smiled and looked at me and the kids and said "Oh, how about $10.00"? I said sure...cause the frame was well worth that. I asked her if she was the artist and she said no but she did know the artist. I just couldn't remember the name she told me and i can't make out the signature....but she said that he was an Engineer and he worked with Wernher Von Braun. How cool is that. I feel like it is a piece of history now. And so i will proudly display it over our mantle. :)
