A Hoarder's Dream

I took some pic's of my craft room, with work it seems like it has turned back into a junk area...since I am on holidays I will endeavour to set these two rooms straight...lol

I purchased these cupboards about two years ago and they sat in our garage for quite some time before Duane was able to install them in our basement which we have been slowly trying to finish and now it is done except for my two rooms.  My hubby created me two work areas, the first being a room on its own for storage which I won't add here as it is too embarrassing and this area which also houses a stove and a sink...soon to be added; the sink area was here prior but we needed to complete the ceiling and doors.  During that time I found these cupboards and they have been sitting, waiting to be installed.  Thanks to two great friends who supplied me with a beautiful faucet to go with the sink once it is installed.

The cupboards were a "pink" color but was told they were a light oak which I couldn't see but I painted them with a "Canadiana" colored paint from the local Home Hardware and they turned out beautifully, my carpenter added a few pieces here and there so that they will fit into the space.  On the countertop I had started putting pictures into frames in April and here we are in August and they are not on the wall.  At least I have made progress, the frames were purchased at least 5 to 6 years ago...

In the future I hope to paint the stand the same color as the cupboards. 

At this point I have too much "stuff" and need to downsize.  "Junk" as my husband would call it however he does have his own "junk" it is just hidden much better than mine...lol

I have painted some shelving to go on the walls and have been working on a window frame that will go on the wall behind the island in the middle of the space, I want it to showcase my Dad's pictures and the rest of my family.  The paint has been dry on the window frame since April; the frame came out of an old house somewhere in the area many moons ago.  I painted it black and left the glass intact where it was still in good shape.  I plan to use my Cricut to do some lettering as well, I will try to post that as soon as it is done.  Maybe this blog will give me the incentive to get it done.
