The best Easter present on WOYWW

I haven't been in my room to do any art 
but I keep coming in  because my sweet husband
let me go to Ikea and get bookcases for the art room
and what a difference it made.

This is my room BEFORE Ikea

AND THIS IS MY ROOM NOW


Isn't it amazing the difference you can make with just $300.
(Get off the floor Tracey Fletcher King, I hope it wasn't too much of a shock for you.
I'm still a grot on the inside).

I can even get my easels out and use my credenza to put my paint palletes on.

Can't wait until the school holidays are over so I can get in and play.

Now you've seen mine hop on over the Julias Stamping Ground and see the other desks 
around the world this fine wednesday.

  3. What I want to know is what happened to the hundreds of books I saw in those first two photos. Although I LOVE the look of your new room, the cost is a bit steep for me. So glad you like it, because I think it is fabulous!

  15. Wow! What a great transformation! I'll bet you'll love it so much better now. So much space and things nicely organized. I know I could use some IKEA shelves myself, problem is I would have to buy another house to put them in it. I'm jealous of the neatness/organization!

I really love getting comments but due to a high amount of spam I had to take the anonymous user off of the comments. Sorry to those who can't leave a comment.
Thanks, Von.
