Ive been sharing an office with Shane for waaaaaaay toooooo long now, and when i say sharing i mean i had 3/4 of it and he had a corner for his desk (that's all the space he needed right).But...as time goes by, Shane is referring to my 'stuff' more and more as 'that crap' or 'that piece of junk there', and constantly asking "what are you planning to do with that old piece of crap?"....So yes, time for me to move on out !
And move i did !
Armed with my spray bottle of Nifti and several sponges, i entered THE TOXIC WASTE DUMP, aka Dads old room. I moved furniture,i cleaned, i mopped, i vacuumed, i swore very loudly ALOT...but in the end i got it ready for painting.
Here is a general idea of the BEFORE stage...
Beige walls and really icky flooring under the icky carpet we ripped up.
Here's a couple of shifty girls pretending to be all cute and innocent...Hmmm they dont fool me one bit.
Midway and things are looking good i think....
My trusty assistant...always ready to lend mum a hand *smiles*
AT LAST IT IS DONE.....
NOW...drum roll please.....
Come on in and have a seat on the comfy sofa !
SORRY, NO BOYS ALLOWED (except Sam and the kitty's of course)
This is where i sit and chat to you all (I'm waving right now) LOL.Don't you love my old monitor from the Jurassic Era? HAHA i let Shane keep the new flat screen, he needed it more than me, so i just prettied mine up a bit !
My 'mess desk' where i paint, etc etc
oooh some works in progress...
Cupboards and shelves full of 'stuff' that i need.
I made this little LOVE box for Sam to put letters into for me. He likes writing me love notes *smiles*
PHEW that's it !
So what do you think? Im really kinda loving it and its nice to be surrounded by pretty colours and pretty things when you are working on something creative.
And when i need a little break i can usually find a kitty or a kid to snuggle on my sofa with for a while.....
Thanks for popping by my office. Come back anytime !!!!
Lotsa love
Shann xxx

Glad you have "your" space.

Shannon,
Your new office/studio is simply marvelous girl. Every girl needs her own space to play and be creative, thank goodness you finally got yours. You made it so cute - I bet there are times you just hate to leave it.
I too am working on a new place to create, mine is just taking a little longer than I had hoped.
May you enjoy many creative hours, days and months in your new studio.
Hugs,
Penny

Hi Shannon, I just love your space. I love getting all creative but hate the thought of starting, we are about to start Bella's room and I just want it finished so I can decorate it. It will be pink also. I actually thought I was princess pink but I think you are definately the winner xx Allie
Oh what a gorgeous room - I'm so jealous! I want a room of my own as well!!
Hi Shannon! How cool is it to have a special place of your own?? Bet you can't stop walking by and looking at it :)
Oh Shann, your office looks lovely. I redecorated my sewing room a while ago, my office is next on the list. You have inspired me to get a move on.
