A Space of My Own

A Space of My Own

This idea has been swimming around in my mind for all long time now.  I have tried several different ideas to create this space.  I tried to create a craft area in the basement and I never work down there because my husband is always playing his trumpet. 

I tried created a desk to reflect at and it has become the main space I work at and therefore it is a constant mess.

So what am I left with……a family room that is a complete disaster.  In the midst of my mini book project I had my husband bring up my craft table so I had someplace to work.  Now I just have a mess.

I have my school things, my craft things, and the family room furniture it is a huge mess. 

So this will be my first summer project.  This will only be phase one because I am holding on to some things that my children will need when they move out.

My goal is to create a space for ME that is neat and organize.  I want to be able to walk into my space and be able to work on projects and not see the room as a project.  I want the room to be my HAPPY place.
