Craft Room vs. Crap Room

Being the mom of four boys I often find my days busy doing things like:

*taking rocks out of the washer that came out of the pockets

*letting the poor bugs loose from the jars in the garage

*changing plug-in scents when the "boy smell" surfaces

What I would really love is a beautiful, colorful, functional craft room where I can bring out my 

girly, fun and crafty side that is often hiding and doesn't get out much.  

This is where Mandi and Hailee come in!  Mandi over at Vintage Revivals has the style that speaks to me!  She has the chance to come to my house and redo/updo my really sad looking craft room/crap room!

What I'm great at...organizing!  What I'm not good at....decorating!  Look at how bare the walls are; screaming for a makeover with wild and crazy paint, pictures and shelving! 

Do you think I have enough mismatched tables?  I would love a huge work space where I can sit with friends and have a blast!  That back door is a huge closet for hiding things...not monsters, but often children!

Don't be jealous of my way fabulous comfortable chairs.  I want to craft just so that I can sit in these chairs..  No really, friends won't leave because the chairs are sooooo AWESOME (sarcasm and giggle)!

Another view of the dressers that don't match any bedroom so I get to put them all in my craft room

(YIPPEE).  Great for functionality, but totally lacks in creativity!

Help me...I'm naked and I look so drab!  Bring on the fabric, color and the WOW!  

As you can see, this room is not a creative, color-popping room of a CRAFTYLICIOUS mom!  Save this mom of four boys and make my space a craft room instead of what my hubby calls it....my crap room!  

Disclaimer to Mandi and Hailee... you will LOVE Springfield, Virginia (you're so excited you are about to pee your pants)!  I'm close to stores (HomeGoods and LOWES are within a 10 min drive), historic buildings to visit and WE would have a WICKED AWESOME time together!  I would have a pit crew waiting for your arrival to help us out, my kids are all in school, I'm a NIGHT OWL, have a sweet tooth and I COOK!
