Paint and Decoration

After all the painting, the walls were lined, the workstation was painted and the wallpaper was put up. I must admit the wallpaper was a surprise to me but I have come to love it. My original thought was that it was too busy for the craft room but the colours have been incorporated into the stationery and signs now and after putting storage on the walls it looks much better.  The opposite walls have been done in matching complimentary papers. I even chose the chairs to match!

The workstation was painted.

 

The carpet was fitted, I chose a neutral colour because the walls were patterned.

 

Storage was put on the walls, here is some quilting templates and some of The Glitter Girls Keepsake embossing boards. I still have a few items to put up, including the ribbon storage. The opposite wall has more of the embossing boards.

 

The rubber stamps were too crowded so I have since added extra shelves inbetween the ones already here. I intend rearranging and putting into a catalogue so it is easy to see what stamps I have and on which shelf to find them. My unmounted and clear stamps are kept in the files under the shelves.

 

The magnetic board has been stuck in place. That was not an easy task, because I did it by myself and would have been twice as quick if there had been two of us. I then put nails on which to hang the Fiskars embossing plates.

 

There is still a lot of stuff to do and I will show the finished pictures when it is all done, but I am still sorting all the crafting stuff out and putting away.

My good friend, Bob Gee gave me some money to buy chairs for the business and I got some bar stools in the colours to match the wallpaper.
