Welcome to my ghetto scrapbook room.

We recently decided that Emma and Brett could share a room. Emma never played or slept in her room - and it was just a waste of space - not to mention the time spent taking her toys out of Brett's room to put back into hers. After talking it over with them - we made the big move. I was moving from the laundry room/pantry to Emma's old room and Emma was moving into Brett's.

It took quite a while because Brett's closet had been used for storage, so we had to move that stuff into the family room until the pantry was cleared, which couldn't happen until Emma's room was moved and my scrapbook stuff was placed in. Hours later, I finally had the kids's room looking pretty good and I was tired - so went to bed. Started in again bright and early the next day and by that evening - all was where it was supposed to go.

Well, not all. My scrapbooking stuff wouldn't all fit into the storage that I have now - so some of it is in the family room. Mitch wasn't feeling the urge to go get the counter top and shelving for the new "artist" room as Emma calls it. So, for now - we have a ghetto scrapbook room - using a camping table and a card table and whatever else we could re-purpose. It'll do until Mitch feels like being a carpenter.

Here are some pictures, it's not a large room, and as you can see Emma's room theme was butterflies - My MIL and I stamped those when Emma was 6 months old - time flies!! Here you can see Emma's ghetto scrapping table, an old card table and also, you can see that room had to be made for Kahlua too:



Here is my ghetto scrapping table, a folding camping table that isn't too sturdy!



Here is a shelf that DH made in shop in High school, now holding my stamps and miscellaneous stuff.


Here is Emma's old toy cubes, now holding my photo boxes.

So it ain't pretty - but it works for now!
