When a Workbench isn't a Workbench...

One of the nice things about being single is not having to share my home with anyone else (with the except of the space currently being occupied by my cousin, who's staying with me while she's in school). I used to think my home was empty, lonely and depressing. Now I consider it to be my refuge. My quiet place. My haven. If being a hermit paid well (or at all) I might never leave it at all. And while one person may not need an 1100 square foot home with 2 bedrooms (plus den/sunroom) and a finished (a term I use loosely) basement it's nice to have lots of room to be frivolous with. After all, what single girl doesn't need a sewing/stained glass room, am I right?!?

Right...

But none of this is my fault. I blame Pinterest for the fact I'm dedicating an entire room to crafting. With lilac walls, turquoise accents and a reading nook. And for turning this:


And these:

Into these:

And this:

Not gonna lie... I LOVE it!

Thanks, Pinterest! I'm sure I won't be singing your praises when it comes to putting all the crap back in the room.

I LOVE the colour! Which room is going to be the lucky recipient of the make-over?

One of the basement rooms. Wish it could be upstairs, maybe come summer...

Yes, maybe come summer ;) It will brighten up any room, regardless of where it is! Did you see my facebook question??
