my new craft & sewing room

Check it out. This is how bad it got before the room remodel began! It really wasn't always this bad. It actually functioned pretty well at one time. But knowing the inevitable, I sorta let her go. Oh and before you see the final transformation, you gotta know that this room is a complete departure from anything I have ever done in the rest of my home. I have NEVER decorated with white or pink or aqua or any other shade of blue, for that matter. EVER. Anywhere. Until now.







MY NEW CRAFT/SEWING ROOM!!

I am SOOO happy with the results! Thrilled! Ecstatic! I am just so dang pleased! And so is Mrs. McGillicutty! I was so anxious to put everything away, that I know I will need to reorganize the whole room once I start creating. Later this week I will be breaking down each item, what I paid, the story behind the remodel. But then, you knew there would be a story. I'm telling you, amazing deals. Let's put it this way, the paint was the most expensive. I'm serious! (cuz I didn't use opps paint) I have much more to do, hang shelves & art, finding an island table for the center of the room to replace the folding white table, reupholster a rocker that I will sit and do my hand work. It will be evolving. I will also be revealing the new guest room this week. Stay tuned. Come back. Enjoy the pics! Oh and a huge thanks and "I love you!" to my dear husband! He did it all... everything!

    Good day, sun shines!
    There have were times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
    I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
    Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real money.
    It gets down to select a proper partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.

    You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
