MAMA'S NEW SPACE....

Earlier this year....I turned my master bedroom into my daughter's nursery.  It was also my 4 yr old's napping room.  Well it's years end, and the napping doesn't happen much anymore, and this mama is in need of a truly creative space to work.    My dining room table isn't working for me anymore, it's still where I blog so that's enough.

Here is the post where you can see the original transformation....when I guest posted over at A Crafty Southern Chick

And now here is where I am right now....I am by no means done!  I have to go and pick up my work table from a man on Craigslist this week.   I also need to get some shelving for the far wall to keep all of my hand-made's, and things that are listed in my shop.

I kept the theme and colors the same, because it is soothing to me.  The birds to me represent me spreading my creative wings and flying into success.

This is where the antique toddler bed was originally, it's now just an area where I may blog.  After I reupholster the seat base and paint the chair and mod podge the top of that table. LOL

The is the side of the room where the crib is...(left).  That cabinet houses all of my Mama J Jewels supplies and finished jewelry pieces.  

This is the closet door, but will also kind of be my inspiration focus wall since it will be what Im looking at while working at the new table.

This was one of my vintage finds...its a great piece that I have already removed the hardware from and will be painted over in Olde White Chalk Paint.   

This is my little mini  Lucky 7 Design shop.  It houses some things listed in my shop and some new creations. I think it inspiring to be surrounded by your work.

This birdcage is from JoAnn's and it is like my mini clothesline...I think I will be making the birds blue birds...lol

I used another one of my vintage painter's ladder to hold my fabric pieces and some pillows waiting to be stuffed!  

My way of displaying my handmade napkin ring sets....theyre on my hand-painted vintage wood hangers.

This wall will be fit with some wooden shelving units to be merchandised with Lucky 7 Design hand-mades and vintage finds from the shop.

The vintage metal medicine cart holds tv/dvd/printer....this is primarily for my toddler.

I will be posting more once the room evolves....I hope you all like it and would love to hear your thoughts!.

WHAT DID I MAKE WEDNESDAY...... WITH BROKEN FRAMES

I had purchased these frames somewhere long ago and the glass broke on one so I removed it from the other.    I liked the frame and its bead board style and in that creamy gray beige color but was holding on to them until I thought of a project for them.

Guess what.....I finally did.  I have an abundance of burlap, thanks to my fabulous husband Big Daddy J so I decided while setting up my little desk area in the nursery that I would use them in there.


So here is what I gathered up:

The glassless frames
Scrap of burlap
Personalized tags from Etsy shop owner
Push pins

That's less than 5 things

The frame

Add the scrap of burlap

Place the personalized tag (thanks to Sally @ alittlescrapy.etsy.com

Secure with push pin

Here it is in my new craft space in the nursery (i know, a mother's sacrifice)lol

I had 2 frames so I made a second one and hung them vertically next to my vision board.  I mean really I bet any one of you can run to your craft closet and make one of these with the supplies you have inside.   A pretty fabric would work just as nice!
