New Scrappy Space!!!

Saturday morning I had planned to play at two online crops. I'd heard about both of them from MSW friends and had registered the night before for both. But when I checked my emails, neither one had approved me. So I was a bit bummed but planned to just scrap without challenges. Steve came in to see what was going on and a Facebook friend had just posted pics of her new scrappy space in her brand new home. I showed them to Steve and made a comment that I'd like to change things in my space. Next thing I knew we were designing a new layout for my room!
We drove down to the Habitat for Humanity Restore and found a $325 table (NO chairs were included in that price!) for $10!!! It had several scratches on it, but it was solid wood and i was gonna scratch it up too. We were pretty sure it would be too big for the room as a table. But my wonderful husband who loves to take things and make them into something else had a vision. So we brought the table home and took it all apart. He used the wood to make a 12 foot wide by 29 foot long surface with no legs underneath!!! All free space!!! Plus he made me some shelves and stained/painted them to match the wood from the former table. And now I have a work in progress! I'm waiting for another set of shelves that we repainted and we need a bit more wood. But for $27 and a couple of days of labor I have a new scrappy space!!! WOOHOO!!!
PLUS we are going to move the piano back into the living room and bring the fold out couch out of the guest room so I'll even be able to use it for relaxing and extra guest space. I'm SUPER excited and been talking about it all over my forums so thought I'd share a sneak peek of the one corner that's finished...
Here's the before... The computer is on the desk that will eventually be replaced. This is the corner that you'll see in the after picture...

And AFTER!!!

I can't WAIT to finish the rest of the room! :) Oh... And I'll share those projects I talked about and more soon... Been scrapping in the dining room after finally getting approved for both boards. :) Now I'm glad I DIDN'T get approved when I thought I wanted to be! Hehe! God knew that table was sitting there waiting for me! :) He's sooooooo good! :) Now.... off to scrap and watch Monday Night Football!!! WOOHOO!
