I’m just a dreamer…

Yes, I am a dreamer. A big one. After putting an offer in on a new house I have to sometimes take a sleeping pill at night just to ensure I get some sleep. Sometimes I lay awake at night imagining what a room would look like in a certain paint color and how I could decorate it and where I would put my furniture. My latest victim, my scrapbook room in a house I don’t even own, let alone live in! Yes, our offer is pending and we should hear back soon but it doesn’t keep me from dreaming.

If we get this house I am going to have my own scrapbook room. I had my own in Ohio and I love it. This one is even bigger meaning I can host scrapbook nights and have room for everyone! I have never done a scrapbook night, but I will if I have this much space!

Here is the room I am working with

And here are some ideas I have. Really, I want my room to kick the pants off of any of these rooms. I want it to be like something out of a magazine! These rooms are great too!

I am thinking of doing a fun color on the walls. Like maybe a robins egg blue?? Something that Matt would never let me paint in any of the other rooms of the house.  This would be ok in the the scrapbooking room because it is ALL MINE!

LOVE this table. I think it’s pottery barn. I even found on on Target.com but its still VERY expensive and it’s not even real wood. [ Insert handy husband] Matt said he could build me one that is just as nice and half the cost! Now, where is he going to find time to do that?  He is already so busy! Maybe I should add work working to my list of things I can do and attempt to build it myself

This is a beautiful room! I LOVE it. I like how clean it looks with all the white and the soothing grey colors. I think I need a little more color if I am going to be creating in there

Yes, I will have a wrapping stati0n. No, I don’t wrap gifts that often but when I do, I will have a station specifically for it. Plus, what ultimate craft room wouldn’t be complete without a gift wrapping station. I feel like if I had this, my gifts wrappings would look like a master piece!

This room makes me happy.  Sigh. one day I am going to have one that looks like this. All organized and in pretty cupboards. Although I keep seeing these craft rooms with stools as seats. If you have crafted for long periods of time, you know a stool will not cut it. You need to have a nice comfy chair, maybe with some built in massagers

This is more like what mine  would look like. All in plastic bins. I would love to have them in a cupboard and all sophisticated looking but realistically, this is how mine would be.

Look at those paper organizers. I would love that. Although, I love my dresser that I have all mine stored in right now. I would just love for my room to look like a scrapbook store.

Those tables are nice too. They aren’t big enough for a person like me. I like to spread out and make a mess

Now here is my dream room. The table I want. the nice cupboards in the back to house all the stuff. The cute chair in the corner for taking a break. In fact, that looks like a chair they have at Ikea. That's more up my price range. I LOVE the black and white colors here. I am thinking this is the route I will be going.

So, lets all cross our fingers that we get this house and I can start on my dream scrapbook room!

I love the idea of doing a fun color on the walls that you wouldn't normally do. I say, make it a bright, eye catching, creative room to keep your imagination working! :-)

Is it sad that the picture of room full of bins made me so happy? I love organized bins! I also vote for color on the walls, I love all of those rooms! I say you ask Matt for Christmas for cabinetry or someone like California Closets or something to come in and build shelving/cabinets for you. Or Ikea. You deserve it!
