My Craft Room and Desk

So last week, or maybe the week before, we decided to paint our craft room. I wanted to do a color that would inspire me since that's the room where I'll be working on my cards and crafts. When I lived in Santa Cruz, I would go to the beach and sit on the rocks and look out at the ocean. This is where I would write in my journal or think about important decisions. I decided I wanted something like this in my craft room.

The colors get darker as you look from the celing to the floor. I tried to do a cloud effect on the top two colors. This picture was taken as we were still working on the room, but I thought it showed the cloud idea the best.

The other project that we had been working on was making a large desk for all my sewing and crafts. We got a 8 x 4 MDF board and I stained it to look like wood since a MDF board has no grain. I thought it turned out pretty well. Ryan put all the legs on and did lots of clear coats. Thanks Ryan!


What will be our next project? Painting the living room? Painting murals on Andrew's walls? Stay tuned to find out!

Photo Update!

Ryan's family came to visit us last month and these are photos from their camera. We had a lot of fun and hope they did too. I just can't believe how fast Andrew is growing up. Yikes.

Enjoy!
A new favorite!







This is his new photo face. When we pull out the camera, he give us this look.
