The Spring Fling Party!

Welcome to the Spring Fling Party!  Where ANYTHING SPRING goes.

  DIY, Nature, Gardens, Recipes, Spring Cleaning, an Easter Dress – anything.  You name it – bring it or should I say – link it!

So grab a cupcake & let’s get this party started!

My Orville Redenbacher Office (via popcorn ceiling)

*Which (obviously) happens to be an A-framed room

&

*Only has 1 half workable wall

This is how it has looked for the past 2 years.  We’ll blame it on the twins. 😉

I personally gave myself 2 challenges besides getting it organized & becoming practical.

1.  Make “room for more.”  Because this room is not going anywhere.

2.  Be thrifty in everything.  Whether it’s make, buy on sale, or repurpose. 

 >>>this really was the funnest part outside of finishing the room.<<<

Here’s my inspirations for re-designing the room:

1. BHG 2,4,6,&10. Pottery Barn 3. Country Living 5. Tiffany & Co. 7. My Mom’s hand-me-down 8. Liberty of London 9. The MacBeth Collection 11. BHG 13. Country Living

&

for the actual Inspirational Board itself, you can see how I made it by clicking here

Here’s the 1/2 desk & side wall before:.

After!

Chief & I made a peg board!  Thanks from the inspiration of Country Living Mag & The Vintage Glitter House Blog for their much needed advice!

  I also had the cubby shelf for a decade ago.  Chief mounted it & then I realized it was the perfect fit for my pint size mason blueball jars I won off of Ebay.

*Again, trying to leave room for more – here*

Here’s the desk before:

And after:

It’s cleared!

I did use my b-day money to buy the only few things I paid full price for.  As most can see, I fell in love with this print from the Liberty of London Collection @ Target.   When I saw this color combo – I knew it would tie everything together.

Now the window before:

And after:

Excuse me, while I jump up & down over this window!

You see, I MADE the roman burlap shade!!!  It’a a NO SEW tutorial.

My friend Christina always leads me to worlds I’ve never known…like the Little Green Notebook’s tutorial on making this roman shade.  All by using a $3.99 shade from Target.  I kid you not!

Now the other side of the room before:

Now after ~My sewing area & inspirational board.

The cedar library table & the large blueball Mason jars have been in Chief’s family for years.  He can remember eating Moon Pies from this table when he was Graham’s age.

I personally LOVE the blue Mason jars up against the orange inspiration board. delicious!

Now across the sewing area, but on the same side before:

After:

A wrapping paper station with all the trimmings AND *room to grow!*

Eventually, we will take a road trip to Ikea (2 hrs. away) for some sort of shelving unit to go width wise across & snug up to the slope of the ceiling.  In case you’re wondering about the fan, since this is an attic room in almost a 100 y.o. house – the fan is vital for the creativity outflow.  I left it in the pics, because it is as it is!  Needless to say, I love how this room turned out.  I love the modern, vintage, rustic, country, & a little bit of glam in it.  Really – I think this room describes me to a “T.”  I am thrilled with the results.

Alright, that’s my Spring Cleaning Project!!!

Now let’s see what you all have in store for us!
