Happy Wednesday! It's that magical day each week wherein some of the world's artists and crafters show each other "what's up" on our work tables. This party is hosted by Mrs. Julia, so hop on over there to see her post and a list of other participants to visit.
My big news this week is that I'm back in my room! Hip, hip, hooray! Here are some pictures. There are a few details to attend to eventually (something for the windows -- I gave the other shades to my daughter -- and a desk chair -- the matching one had longstanding "issues") -- but I'm very happy with it.
This is the view from the doorway:
This is the bookcase to the left of the table:
Here is the table, set up in a similar way to the way it was before. The bin holding my stamps was my color inspiration for the walls. :) I have fewer punches on the windowsills, deciding to use that space differently. I don't have anything started at the moment; the piles of stuff are memorabilia and pictures from our Washington DC trip last May.
Where a somewhat cluttered and messy card table once stood, I've instead moved one of the bookcases. Not sure whether the heart canvas will stay there.
One of my favorite details: the cut glass dishes holding embellishments. I had the one in the center before and found the other two at a garage sale over the weekend.
My desk. It's a reproduction, obviously, but I'm fond of it.
Another bookcase and a piece of DIY furniture from Target. The lamp has a design on the shade when lit that is very pretty. I wish the drawer unit on top had fit in the unit, but it's slightly too big.
Thanks for taking the tour, friends. Hope you're having a great day.

Your ‘new’ room is looking great Laura, I love the colour you’ve chosen.
You have so much storage there and the little dishes with your embellishments in are a really pretty touch.
Happy Crafting!

Just lovely to see your great room. The idea of having your pretty things in the cut glass dishes is clever.
