Before and After Triple D Challenge!

Ok, so according to my last post I said I was going to work on the Kitchen. Well that is a much larger task than my 32 weeks pregnant body could handle! So This last weeks challenge as to Triple D your craft area or office. As most of you know we live in a small 900 something Square foot apartment. So obviously there is not much room for separate areas. So my challenge was to clean and organize the Craft/Office/Dining Room! As you can see fom the picture this section tends to be our central clutter area. Also there is only one before picture because the desk that the computer is on is actually my Sewing machine! So of course this challenge was great because one of my goals was to take back my sewing machine table! Also I wanted to cover up all the wires hanging everywhere!



Here are the after pictures. I was able to get most of my Sewing Table back. Atleast enough to put my sewing machine back into it! The drawers are still taken up by office supplies but I'm ok with that. You can still see the cables and things but atleast they are somewhat organized. It's still a work in progress but I am happy with it for now.



My craft area is on the other wall now, in the same room but with it's own space.



I have 9 bins full of craft supplies! I have only allowed myself to have 2 bins out at the same time because of lack of space. We'll see how long that lasts!



I made the file box out of cereal boxes and scrapbook paper. It was really fun to do but when I was all finished I realized that I neglected to measure the width and regular paper is too wide to fit in it! Silly me! Oh well, I can use it for other things!



I made the Memory board from a cork board and ribbons. I didn't glue the ribbon down just incase I want to change it but I found some really cute lady bug push pins and they are holding the ribbon down. My spools of ribbon are on a dowel rod with ribbon glued to the ends and pinned to the board. Easy and removable.

So there it is! I am really excited to actually get to do som crafting becasue now I have a space! I can't wait to see what next weeks challenge is. If anyone wants to join me follow the link!
