So far, this project has eaten up about a week of my time, but I'm happy with the results. I removed almost everything from the room, painted it pink, and then spent several days trying to figure out how to get all the stuff back in...in and organized. I'm not finished (probably never will be), but it looks a lot better and a lot of the clutter is gone. I have many more plans for this room, but here is a first look at my new room!
The first photo was taken looking in through the door and then the rest are going around the room until we arrive back at the door...
Here is where I spend most of my time...at my desk. Found all the pieces (it's 4 separate pieces) very cheap at Habitat and Goodwill Thrift Stores. Still a bit of a mess, but way better than it was before...
This corner will be the next big project. I want to make decorated bins to put in each of those cubbies...to hide the junk. I will also make some kind of nice display on top.
Ooops, I forgot to clean the windows before snapping this photo :0 My new sewing table is one half of a retro kitchen table found at Habitat for only $5! The whole table was awesome, but it wouldn't fit.
Dollphinium Manor, my giant dollhouse, takes up one whole wall. It is a challenge to work around this, but I'm not getting rid of it. It makes me happy :)
I even have room for a chair (and a visitor) now! This is not the chair I want here, but it will have to do for now. I want something comfy that matches the room, but this chair was available and fit in the spot (and needs somewhere to hang until the yard sale). The lamp will get a shade and the walls will get some decoration and so on and so forth....

Now, it's time to get back to work. I sure hope my creative block has gone...
WOW, girlfriend. That looks fantastic. The room looks so much bigger. I love the pink walls, the rest of the furniture white. I told you, you are going to be so much happier in there now. :). I can't wait to see it in person. :)
