Ta-Daaaa [Office/CraftRoom Reveal]

I am very excited to share my new, beautiful space. It was a labor of...

But that is okay, because it is so totally worth all of the hours, the crying, the swearing, etc etc. Actually, I found out - as this was our first big project of our doing - that the husband and I work really well together. Love that man.

As a reminder, here was the mood board I shared a few weeks back:

And here is yesterday's BEFORE post.

While I did not use the six shelves I bought, I did end up purchasing more bookcases from IKEA. So for now, I have PLENTY of storage space and I am no longer taking up space in other parts of the house (e.g. formal dining room!).

I think I stayed pretty true to my mood board... but I will let you be the judge.

Of course the day I decide to take reveal pictures, the Mr. Sun is playing hide-n-seek. Durn him.

The real before picture of the room does the room no justice. As in, it was CROWDED and bad. And messy and chaotic. I knew I didn't want to fill the space up with too much furniture. Although, I am considering a crafting table for the south side of the room, where there is basically an empty wall.

Now that I've given you the big picture, let's hone in on some of the pretties that pulled it all together.

The license plate is a Antique Store find...$5. It's a 1976 (or bicentennial) plate from Illinois, where I was born!

Well... before I take down the Internet by adding any more pics... I will finish up here. =)
Besides, I haven't been able to do anything crafty in a few weeks now... and I am itching to get my Modge-Podge on. Working on re-doing the downstairs guest bath next. I plan on making homemade art for the walls!

Okay, one more look.

Have a wonderful Monday!
