ta-da!!
After lots of paint and shuffling of furniture, my former office area has been transformed into my new scrapbook area (aka the "mom cave"). I had thought about taking over Kim's bedroom once she has left for university, but I like being out here where I can talk with Jack and the girls, watch tv, etc.
desk BEFORE
desk AFTER! Midwifery books and piles of filing have been relocated, desk painted, supplies organized :-)
office area BEFORE (after I cleared most of the stuff out)
scrapbook area AFTER! My desktop computer has been retired, and I have an extra table to spread out my own stuff, or have a friend over to work with me :-) Julia will be happy to scrapbook at the new table too, and Charlotte will want her turn there to color or do a puzzle while I work.
north wall BEFORE
north wall - AFTER
bookshelf wall BEFORE
bookshelf wall AFTER! Midwifery books and school binders have been relocated. This temporary shelf holds my albums and photo boxes until I can get my hands on an Expedit ;-)
I made this Wordle about scrapbooking, printed and framed it.
And of course, my space has a few of my favorite things...
...like dark chocolate peanut m&m's !
And I love my desktop wallpaper ;-)
After Jack helped me move my desk back into place, I moved everything else back and set things up. What a great man to work so hard on his days off to create a space just for me (and paint it purple!!) - he's a keeper!
I still have pictures to hang, and the rest of the basement is an unholy mess but I can deal with that another day. It's time for this tired (but happy) mama to go to bed!
