Finally after many years of dreaming and months of waiting in our new place I now have my scrapbook room painted and it’s finally getting sorted out.

To take you back to what I started with check out this blog post. Remember that awful dark skateboarding wallpaper that we inherited, it really was worse in real life! hehe

So with some time during the holidays we decided to get started.. it took us weeks to decide on the right shade of green and although most wonder what I was thinking I simply LOVE the colour!! It is really inspiring to me and that’s what I wanted. We ended up settling on Resene Vermont.

I still have a few touches to add like getting the chair I bought covered, and hanging up some words I bought “Create” “Inspire” and “Dream”  but here are some of the photo’s from the transformation.

Prepping the walls with horrible wallpaper primer, ick I almost gassed myself with this stage!

A happy goodbye to the awful wallpaper! hehe

Oh my gosh, what colour have the given us !?!  All was ok once we had given it a good stir luckily hehe

First coat going on, looks so lime in these photos but it was taken at night.

The chaos moving back in

My desk area. What a blimmin effort and expense those floating shelves were! I do think they make the room special though so probably worth it all. I have my ribbons sorted in the jars but if anyone has a great idea for sorting and storing flowers please share, they are stashed all together in a plastic bag at present.

My cube bookshelf, I finally got to unpack my books.. I seem to have rather a huge collection or interior/garden/cook books.

Here is my bit of genius to display my recent layouts. I headed off to Bunnings and found this railing(not sure of it’s proper name), painted it white, nailed it up and now I have a cool ledge to rest them on.

My pretty shelving, must get a roman blind however so my ribbons don’t fade.

The clock I whipped up many years ago, I must have known I would use this colour as it’s just perfect.

Some more storage, you can NEVER have enough of it!  I love the space I seem to have now, I will be able to have friends over to crop rather than having to move stuff out to my kitchen table when they come over.

Well there it is, my wee piece of heaven. Even Dad (who hates green with a passion) came over this morning and didn’t think it was too bad. hehe

Better get some creating done now. I’m still way behind on my December daily album so watch this space over the next week.
