craft room overhaul

Hannah has taken to sleeping in the craft room paper tray, but other than that, the craft room is not getting much use the past couple of weeks, because it's such a mess.

It hasn't changed much in the past five years, other than to slowly fill up with random stuff.  I'm not going to show you the closet or table right now because they're pretty bad.  :)

I still like the decoration and storage in there, but it really needs a good clean up, and since the computer and computer desk are no longer in there, I have a bit of space to work with. I'm wondering if I could somehow tuck a little twin bed in, for visitors.

Next weekend I'm hoping to clean it, paint it (it hasn't been painted in six years), and rearrange it a bit.  I may mark out the shape of a twin bed on the floor with tape, to show Bob. :)

I'm hoping to replace the old Martha Stewart "Drop of Blue" (from when she had paint at K-Mart) paint with something fresh and green.  Although so much of what we own is fresh and green . . . Bob and I were accidentally out last weekend in matching-colored shirts, because I gravitate so much to spring green that I buy it for both of us, and Claire, as well.

We could become a singing trio and wear spring green and travel around in my green car while I carry my green purse.  I love fresh, yellowy green!

I'm thinking about Benjamin Moore's "Stem Green".  This is in the PB Kids catalog and seems good in print, but you never know how it will look in real life.  (It's the green wall behind the bed.)

Do you have any house projects going on right now?  I'll let you know how the craft room turns out.
