Craftroom Revamp Part 2

Finally, progress! I'm taking this slow aren't I? :) I think I posted the photo above in my previous post. And I decided hey, white just ain't my color anymore! ;) I needed a splash of color in my room, something that doesn't make my room so dull and unexciting, so I went on an adventure to find the perfect color for my walls.

In the end, I found the perfect paint via Ace Hardware Nippon Color Creations, I got the Blue Puff color which looks similar to this...

It was so difficult to choose, there are just too many colors! But I wanted something bright, not too dark, but not too prominent either, so this works great. :)

And one of the reasons of this revamping is to reorganize my rapidly growing supplies. My dad informed me of this promotion that Carrefour is having, RM11.90 (that's USD4!) for one of these 3-tiered shelves! How can I pass on a superb promotion like that? So I went ahead and asked him to get 3 for me, he is my hero! :D

Work in progress of painting the wall. It was a great hassle to paint the whole room, and my dad is too busy to help me move the furnitures. So I decided to just paint one wall only. But at least that way my room wouldn't be too dull anymore! I know the blue looks kind of lighter here, but after it dried, it always turned darker.

And here is the final result! With the shelves all assembled to boot, ready for me to chuck in my stuff. ;)

Now do take note, my bed/craftroom is almost a perfect square shape, and it is a little smaller than 10x10 feet. (Yes, it is a very small room sobs) And it is completely devoid of sunlight because it is one of those rooms that is in the middle of the house, I do have a window, but it looks into a dark corridor instead of the outside world. So please excuse me if the lighting for my photos isn't too great. :(

Project Craftroom Revamp part 1

Late last year, I wrote a post about my creative goals, and one of them was reorganization and mini revamp of my workspace. I had been quietly working on that for a while now. The first step was to clean up, like usual. :) We donated a bunch of stuff like broken radios, DVD players, old bookshelf and even my broken PS1 to a local corporation that recycles for charity. (my house is like a junkyard omg)

Then the second step, was to get inspiration on how to pretty my room up. :)

This I posted on my Creative goals post before. I just love the vintage suitcases and the blue cabinet beside it. I want to get a vintage suitcase, but it is so difficult where I live. :( Since people here prefer shiny and new compared to vintage and charming. So there are virtually -no- thrift stores here. Although I could get from Etsy... but the shipping charges really make me think twice. >.<;;

I love the blue wall! Also love the wall cabinet and the little jars of supplies hanging underneath. (by magnet perhaps?) Now that's something to think about. :) I like how the humidifier looks like it is smiling in the photo :D

Now this, this one I wish I can have. *sobs* I love this blue color as well, and that grid on one of the walls where she is hanging her tools, that is just awesome. The chandelier is a nice touch as well. :)

Can you tell that I like the blue + white combination? Lol.
