Mine is really used for nothing more than showing off some of my collections. lol! In fact, if I was building a new home now I would not even have a living room. Things have just changed and we don't use them. That quilt hanging on the wall is gorgeous! Love the colors that you are pulling out of it. So many cute gifts from your beloved friends. The chickens are just perfect for you. Now I can see why you have been so busy. Just loving that new space! Oh, and I am just like you, when I start something like this I stay up and work, work, work. I'm that way with my Christmas decor. Always think I will take it slow, but usually have it done in a few days. Just get too exceed!<br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776767262067674902.post-5158979629811270992014-10-16T18:51:19.255-07:002014-10-16T18:51:19.255-07:00Mere took the words right out of my computer :-) ...Mere took the words right out of my computer :-) I was going to tell you I think your new craft room is "Brilliant!" and that I could see myself in that gorgeous flowered chair talking and stitching the day away with you, Kris :-) I have been scrolling back through your posts and reading and rereading your posts that I have not commented on, but enjoyed so much. I love it when you share your good memories of your dad, especially, and am so happy you are blessed with his love. The new pillows and pumpkins are clever and pretty, and your feathered girls are blessed with the new run you and Greg rigged up for them! Mt. Hood just got a new white coat of snow the other night even though the temps down here in the valley are not really cool yet. I had a fabulous three week trip and am still trying to get back into my normal routine :-) Know that you and yours are often in my thoughts and I wish you blessings always even if I don't type that to you often enough! xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776767262067674902.post-42603676020880201632014-10-16T12:10:49.683-07:002014-10-16T12:10:49.683-07:00What a brilliant use of that space, I am in love w...What a brilliant use of that space, I am in love with your new room.

You are not the first friend I know who has taken the living room for more useful and fun purpose and I say you did good. I thought of the idea at my house but my hubs isn't quite ready to say do it yet, maybe another time. I know mine would be a perfect fix for my sewing / quilting use but I want him to be on board 100% so I'm ok for now. Everything you did looks terrific and I love the ideas you used, love having the sofa for some sitting time, perfect. You did good!!!

The room is small, full of totes and easy to clutter. My house is small (until it comes time to clean it, lol) and I would never be able to switch rooms to do what you have done. I have a full basement, but will not drag all my stuff down there. It has become a storage area and I am in the process of ridding myself of things down there that need to be left go. You sure have worked yourself into a frenzy to accomplish so much in such a short time. I know how important it is to have good natural light when sewing. I think you will benefit from the big window. have fun.<br />(((HUGS))) Susanne :)Susanne Tyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271812578614840958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776767262067674902.post-34571579653619644862014-10-14T16:27:46.289-07:002014-10-14T16:27:46.289-07:00Everything looks fantastic and I bet you love all ...Everything looks fantastic and I bet you love all that room to create :)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269071000636475794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776767262067674902.post-41020943011373343072014-10-14T14:08:37.018-07:002014-10-14T14:08:37.018-07:00Be there in a hearbeat if I could!
