Shabby Chic Room {Makeover}

 Last year, it was decided that I could take one of our empty bedrooms and make it into a work/craft room! Yay! Soooo, I decided to jump on that and get the party started. I began to focus on the shabby chic decor -- airy and light, yet fun!  I'm such a dork and forgot to get a picture of the 'white' room before I started the makeover, but this pic gives you an idea.

Here we have a Blank. White. Canvas.

I financed most of this room with Craigslist sales... I went on a selling frenzy and slowly but surely tackled the room. Paint. Desk. Frames. Etc. The chair and the dresser were both refurbishes. I posted about the chair here. The dresser was a find through Craigslist.  It was perfect!  An Ethan Allen, solid wood dresser for $20.00.  I was soooo excited!  But, let me tell you -- a dresser makeover, if done correctly, is work. Lots of sanding, dust and multiple coats of paint.  However, the end result was worth every single minute of work I put into it.

So, without further ado... below are some pictures of the end result.    I {love} my work/craft room and I know that I will continue to make improvements here and there, but it's so nice to have a space designated to do my crafting, scrapbooking, etc.

A big thanks to my husband for his help on the room makeover and to my sister Kristine (of Kristine Lynn Photography) for taking some of the fabulous pictures for me.

So, what do you think? I'd love to know...
