I just thought you should know, this is how my room usually looks! But thank you for the compliments. I appreciate that you guys get it, and if I could I'd have you all over to play. Although it would be awfully crowded in there!
It's always a bit of an obstacle course, but right now more than usual. I'm packing and preparing for Silver Bella {in just 3 days! Yikes!}, and since there's no room on any of the 3 desks, I've resorted to using the floor.
To answer a few questions that were asked about the room.....
Yes, I have a baby gate on the entrance to the room. Sometimes I forget to lock it. Sam looks forward to those times and comes out with handfuls of ribbons.
I didn't paint the Ikea shelves. They came that color. I think they call it Birch.
The color on the walls in Classic Taupe {by Behr, I'm pretty sure}.
I think those were the only questions asked. If I missed something, ask again and I'll try to send an answer.
Ok, I'm off to bed, It's 10:00 which is SO late for me these days. I went to bed at 7:30 last night!
Oh yeah, this room is soooo dirty *eye roll.*
Don't talk to me @ Silver Bella.

Yeah, still doesn't count as messy.

but what a beautiful mess! I only take photos of my home to show online when it's tidy, because it is normally the complete opposite!
have fun at the silver bella thingummy. xx

p.s I'm normally zonked out by 9.30 and I only have one little 'un to deal with. (I am such a lightweight) 7.30 sounds like a valliant effort to me! xx

ha-ha! jake is looking at blogs with me this morning and he saw the pic of your room and asked me if it was a "wrecked up high school"! i told him no, that it was your craft room and he asked what all the "wrecked up-ness" was! apparently he hasn't been up to my room in the last couple days or he would know ALL about "wrecked up-ness". Hope you are feeling well, friend. Have fun at Silver Bella if I don't get to talk to you before you leave!

It still looks gorgeous!
I saw your beautiful bookmarks in Somerset the other day - Congratulations! I saw them on your blog months ago and even made one. Then I couldn't find the ribbon clamps anywhere to make more!

Too funny, Andrea! Isn't funny how creativity can produce such messiness! I just spent the last couple days reorganizing and purging (didn't do so well with the purging!) my space - it looked like a house tornado hit the room! When I would take a break to clear my head, I'd click on your room pics for inspiration. It's comforting to know your gorgeous work space can look a "bit tussled" at times too!
Have fun with the Bellas! I'm so jealous . . .
