Mom Cave Complete

I have posted about my office/craft room before but I can officially say that it is complete!  I have a few more things I will be hanging on the walls, but the majority of the room is finished.  I've been working on this room since we moved in here and little by little it has come together.  I spent the past few days painting my great-grandmother's desk and re-upholstering the chair so that it better compliments the room.  Its not perfect, but it is just going to serve as my craft table.  Now I can finally get back to all those scrapbooks I'm so behind on, starting with Zac's baby book (he will be five in September....shame!).  This is definitely my favorite room in the house.  The only thing missing is a new 27-inch iMac...but that will come in time (are you paying attention Santa??).  Now, if I can just find a way to keep the boys out... :)

The room went from this...
to this...
And from this...
to this... 
And this...
I have my dad's flag displayed at the top of my cabinet along with his first military photo.  And of course, his beloved softball glove
My pin-up board for all my reminders, pictures and things that mean something to me
This desk is ancient and has been in the family for as long as I can remember, so when I considered getting rid of it, I quickly came to my senses and decided to paint it instead.  The fabric I found for the chair color-matches the funky rug under my computer desk perfectly!

Don't you just wish you could pack up the room (walls and all) and take it with you when it's time to move again!
