A studio for Christmas!

I'm very excited to tell you that my husband is going to let me convert our formal living room, which is only ever used to display our Christmas tree, into my new studio!  For Christmas I received the craft table and two wall shelves above to get me started! I am thrilled. My girlfriend has been storing it in her garage for me. I can't wait to have a desk high enough to stand when crafting. I also love that it is high enough to keep the Basset Hounds away from important projects and supplies. Here's a shot of where I plan on putting it (try to ignore the fact that it is in a state of Christmas chaos)...

 The room is very similar to the display room above. I plan on putting the table in the center of the room and wall shelves on the left.  On the right wall, I'm looking for a vintage dresser to redo. I think that will be great for storage.  I have plenty of garage sale and thrifty finds to use for decorating. I also have some fun ideas for the wall but I'm keeping that a secret for now. The french doors are definitely in need of some drapes. The ceiling is 12 feet in this room. I need something to soften the walls. There are plans for more lighting too.  I'll be busy. I can't wait to get the tree down and get started!  Of course, I'll keep you posted along the way.  Still have family and friends in and out this week, but I wanted to get a quick post up and say hello. I hope you had a blessed holiday and are looking forward to the New Year!
