Guest Designer Tues: Check out Melody's space!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to show you my little corner of the world. This room was originally Doc’s room (our youngest) before he left for boot camp. It was originally canary yellow and black (his favorite colors)! So once he left and momma could break down and remodel we decided to paint it a light color and create a patriotic look in honor of him. This was to be his get away when he came home.

Then when the empty nest syndrome wore off it was time to create my quiet space. I didn’t want to change the look even though my favorite look is vintage and antiques, It was just to hard to pack away all of Doc’s special memorabilia. So my Mr. Wonderful bought my desk tops drawers etc and we made everything white to go with the patriotic theme. We had started using it for just a junk storage room temporarily so the first picture is how it looked before........

and how it looks now.





I am still working on it and soon about the time I have it all finished I will want to remodel again LOL but for now I love it and love being able to go in and craft with a place for everything while being surrounded by the things that keep me close to my Soldier. So welcome to my little scrap place where I do my creating and my reminiscing.

Thanks for looking!

this is fantastic. I love how thin your desk is. It doesn't take up a lot of space. I'm looking for something like that to host my sewing machine! I could definitely make something though...haha I'm totally into thinking I'm a DIY type person. LOL

Love the long work space in the bottom photo and the stars on the wall (in the photo above it).

Well thank you all!! You are always so encouraging!! I was a little hesitant at first because my pics didn't take so well but you blessed me with your sweet words. Lacey I feel like I am a DIY girl too most of the time but my Mr. Wonderful said I didn't need to do that this time LOL. Little does he know I will be DIYing up in my little world!

Wow... great transformation! We "Empty Nesters" need a creative space to stay busy when our kids have left the nest. (It makes us miss them less ) Thanks for sharing!
