craproom < craftroom

We've lived in our house for almost two years. That means that for almost two years we put everything we didn't know what to do with into an extra bedroom, and shut the door. I think that classifies us as hoarders or something, but I don't know. Anyway, no need to submit us to A&E anymore. A few weekends ago we cleared the room, had a garage sale, and Geoff got working on the floors and furniture assembling. I'm really excited about this new livable, workable, and walkable space. It feels great to simplify and get rid of everything we don't need. I hope I can keep it that way, otherwise this could be a vicious cycle. Wish me luck, because I don't think I can handle another garage sale.
 Anyways, I don't really like calling it my craft room because, well I don't really do crafts (actually I did glue that glitter onto those letters..so... there's that). It's more of a "catch-all" room for all my half-done projects, work, sewing machine, mail, clutter, and you know, stuff. (Oh crap maybe I really do have hoarding tendencies!)

Your craft room is beautiful! Maybe now that you have one, you will be inspired to go in there and use it. :) I so wish I had a craft room! Someday....

k, you are definitely not a hoarder. it takes way more than a one room of random stuff to be a hoarder. and yes, i might be sticking up for you/defending my own room of random stuff, but still.

That's mine and my husband's current goal right now, its a little overwhelming. lol Good job on your MAKE sign! I did a crafty thing once and couldn't stop talking to everyone about it for several weeks...and haven't done anything since...and that was 2 years ago..

Wow... It looks great. You've just inspired me to clean out my crap room.

Ah, the proverbial junk room. I, too, just cleaned mine out after 3 years!
