When we first moved to this house the 3rd floor was a mystery [David thought maybe a golf simulator] and then it slowly developed in to the craft room...
David,bless him was very patient and "created" whatever I thought up....one of the first things being a wrapping paper hanger....truth is- I HAVE A LOT of wrapping paper and it takes up space and honestly it's not that neat on a roll. As I worked in the space and moved things around and organized, it was evident it had to be modified. I loved my peg board and it's cheap, so why not do the rest of the wall? So we did.
I love the large bike hooks- they contain several rolls without making it look disheveled. I reconfigured a lot of the hooks and shelves and just cleaned up and organized.
It's a common joke that I spend more time organizing the craft room than actually crafting....but I don't care. I still get an overwhelming feeling of joy and creativeness in this space. I have surrounded myself with pictures and memories of people and places. Little reminders of Nana peak through all nooks and crannies..., it's a space I can be messy, a space to escape and best of all a place
to show Max that it's okay to color outside the lines-get paint under his nails-use his imagination and most of all, a space to remember...
