XOXO,

A lot of you have seen my original post "The Grand Reveal". After going back, I couldn't help but notice how dark the photos were and that since I had such a great camera now - I thought I should "re-do" this post. I am also going to have a follow up post(s) that shows more a more detailed view of some of my studio. (I just think studio sounds so much more professional, don't you?" So enjoy!
If you missed the original before and after photos, you can view it here.
Details of my room: Click Here!
Honey Do THIS Honey Do THAT!!! I feel like my husband is so amazing at doing so many things but it seems like when I ask him to do something... it kind of goes in one ear and back out the other. So I decided a "Honey Do" mini notebook was the answer! Now I can write things down as I think of them and he has it in front of him... in black and white! Out of fairness - I thought I should have a Mrs. Honey Do notebook as well. Of course, he will probably lose it as soon as I give it to him.
These adorable mini notebooks will be available in my store... which should be opening within the next few weeks!!! YAY!!!! :)
Okay - so I fought myself with this... I finally - after much deliberation - chose function over fashion. I love to look at those perfectly put together craft rooms and offices but then find that I am unable be as productive when I focus on design instead of function. I needed something to be able to get to everything easily. My new craft room set up looks nice and organized... at least I think so!
So as promised, I must first show you the before. As a disclaimer, over the 9 months, I have spend more time working and crafting in other rooms of the house... and mainly used the craft room to just shove stuff I didn't know what to do with. Prior to getting engaged I spent over 40 hours a week in my craft room. Hopefully, I will get back into the routine soon! (My husband would sure appreciate that!)
Without Further Ado... Here is the Before:
Believe it or not, this is actually halfway into the project. I had cleaned a lot of stuff up, taken the couch/futon and coffee table out and put it in the spare room. Also, about half of my stuff is in the hallway as shown in this photo:
As you can see... I had quite the mess on my hands! However, with a lot of sweat and little bit of tears (which I will gladly explain later) - My work space is DONE!!!!

I just happen to LOVE my wedding colors. I took all of my leftover wedding paper and put it all together. I think it is such a pretty, romantic pallette!
Whenever I get stuck and need inspriation, I just grab one of these books or magazines! I find that if I do too much research on the internet... I never get to actually crafting.
These storage boxes are holding adhesives, embellishments, scrap paper... and I actually can't remember what's in the other one! It's probably a junk box! :)
When I was first putting together ideas for my wedding - I found a light pink feather and hung it up for inspiration. I ended up not using any pink feathers but did have lots of ivory feathers and lots of pink... so I think it worked. I also have some magnets that I made hung up and our Save The Date magnets hanging up as well.
Each day, I write out a to do list for myself. Whether it be orders that need filled, chores that need done or shopping lists... this is my notepad to remind me of what I need to get done!
Just one of the drawers that are filled with my painting supplies.
In my old 3 stack tupperware storage - I have all of my stamping stuff. This is a drawer with my inks.
And one of the drawers with stamps.
My paper tray. I actually have 2 of them but I broke one when I was trying to move it around so my husband is going to have to fix the castors on the other one before I can stand it up.
Random drawer with Perfect Pearls, H2O's, and a couple of other cool mediums I like to use when making ATC's, Cards, and other projects.
STICKLES and alcohol inks! I love stickles. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
Inside one of the embellishment boxes.
All 3 of these are embellishment boxes filled with 3D stickers, chipboard, and other fun tidbits. I could barely get them closed but thankfully they have a magnetic snap.
My packaging center. I go through LOTS of these bubble mailers in a week and need to have them close by to package up finished orders to send out.
So that's a brief review of my craft room. Over all it looks clean and organized and I am excited to get in there and get working. However, over the next week, I have other projects that need done before I can get to my craft room.Do you have a craft room? Did you choose function over fashion? Or were you able to find a perfect balance for yourself?
UPDATE: I have new, updated photos here.
