Room Transformation

 For the BIG reveal!!!!!! The Scrapbooking/craft/guest room is complete. Since the room is a multipurpose room I needed it to be very organized and spacious. For the guest bedroom portion we decided to get a Murphy bed and since I needed it to store all my crafts I ordered one with shelving, lots of shelving. We got the Murphy bed in on Friday and it took them six hours to put it in. 

 

The shelving folds back so the bed could be pulled down.

 

I love the fact you can fold the bed up with all the bedding still on the bed and it stays intact.  It has a belt that straps the bedding down so it won't move when the bed is folded up.  I also screwed a picture to the wall so it won't move when the bed is closed.

The Cisco Kid's work table is folded down to allow for walking space.

We built a counter top inside the closet and the Chief put some electric in there for all my electronics. I put up a florescent light because it was a very dark area. I also put the peg board above the counter so I could have everything at arms reach. All my scrapbooking and craft supplies are readily available without me searching throughout the house for them.

 When I designed this room I made sure I was able to store everything away easily and conveniently so when the bed was down nothing was in the way.

I needed a table to work on and I had a drop leaf table that fits perfectly under the counter for easy storage. Now I don't have to worry about putting away a scrapbook in progress if we should get sleep over guests. I just simply push the table under the counter and it will be just fine until I am ready to get back to it. 

This corner is all my paints, gift wrapping supplies, sewing machine and fabrics. 

 

I love this is an electric fireplace/heater. This room seems to be the coldest room in the house. I was in Lowes and saw these Fire places and thought it was a perfect solution to warm up the room. What I love most about it is you can run the fire without the heater. This gives my space a real cozy and comfortable feel all year long.

The shelves are from Target and they are called Shabby Bookshelves. They are great for storing more of my Scrapbooking supplies.    Because the Chief knows how much I love TV, he got me one to complet my space.

Here are some before and after photos.
