After looking at about a bazillion craft desks, I ended up choosing Martha Stewart’s line of crafting furniture sold through Home Decorators Collection. I figure she knows what she is doing when it comes to designing furniture with crafters in mind. To my delight the shipment of the 36″ tall desk in Sharkey Gray and the Flat File cabinet arrived in only a couple of days. I knew I would be required to assemble the pieces but I had no idea how time consuming it would be! The desk took about three hours and I did that one first. It was absolutely gorgeous and my hard work was rewarded with this handsome desk!
I also bought this Flat File Cabinet from the same line and it took me about 9 hours to assemble, I didn’t heed the recommendation on the instructions to use two people to assemble it. I know why they say that…it was heavy and there were sixteen drawer sliders to attach to the eight drawers and over 200 screws. I got a blister from the screwdriver ( OUCH!) but it was also a great piece once finished.
Starting to think about the arrangement of the room. Decided to get rid of old sofa and put in a desk for my crafting and jewelry making.
My husband starting the painting process. The Sherwin-Williams paint is covering the red very well, we were surprised by that and in the end it only took two coats!
I love to create! Problem is, I have way too much I want to do and not nearly enough time to do it. With this blog I hope to explore the many interests I have and provide others with valuable information that I learn along the way. I know there will be many mistakes and learning curves but that is part of what makes life interesting. It is always fun for me to try new things and sometimes actually doing something makes me realize that its either not for me or something I will enjoy doing for a long time. I can’t wait to start this journey into the blogging world if for no other reason than to share my passions with whoever cares to walk the creative path with me!
