My craft space...

One day, I'll have the whooooole office to myself... I've been daydreaming about turning it into a craft space, but am yet to convince my husband that he doesn't actually need half the room for his computer. 

This is my little corner at the moment - an overcrowded pinboard, some kids craft and my computer crammed on a hand-me-down Ikea table.


Yes, the walls really are that nasty shade of pink. 

So, a revamp is in order! In my mind at least. :)

So far, I have this gorgeous old suitcase from my stepdad, and a few small bits and pieces - a couple of vintage coathangers, paper RaineCloud bunting I made for use at markets, and a very old wooden box that once housed a microscope.


 And then there's my ever-expanding doily stash.


My mum is giving me her very special antique sewing table that she learnt to sew at as a girl. At the moment, it's a glossy sky blue, but I'm thinking a fresh coat of mustardy acid yellow might be in order.

I'll need some clever storage - I've been pinning plenty of awesome ideas on Pinterest - and to bring it all together, I'll need all of the following lovely things available on Etsy... I wish!
