Everyone agreed... they looked into the little space, and declared with absolute certainty "It won't fit!". But she knew different. She knew there would be space... that there would be a happy ending. There is a moral to this tale...
Never, never tell a crafter that their 'stuff' won't fit into a small space. We'll squeeze and jiggle, push and fiddle... until everything goes where it should.
Actually, I didn't need to jiggle or push anything - I borrowed Hubbys tape measure when everyone else was out... but we'll keep that little gem just between us :)
So...
It's been quite a day... my new craft room has been painted. I chose white - boring, yes - but cheap and practical too! It's a North-facing room, so I needed to keep it light to help what little sunlight I do have peeping through the small window. I've kept the original carpet - the condition is excellent as it's been preserved through years of odd socks, paper bits, and general rubbish being piled on top of it. The curtains were free too - black, of course... and now I only need to get hold of the mock-flocked chandelier in black that will hang from the light fitting :)
Hubby will be building shelves and also a desk for me - we can't find a workdesk I like at all, so MDF and white gloss will have to do *lol*
I've kept my plastic storage shelves... they are useful, practical... and why replace them with something that will do the same job (even if something else might look a bit better)?. Here's the space the storage needed to go... behind the door of the room:
Six plastic storage boxes to fit in the gap? Not a problem...
The red baskets won't stay on top - they'll have a space on the shelves Hubby is building. But the important thing here is... I WAS RIGHT! *lol* Everything fits in the space nicely. Now I just have to get everything else up into my 'new' room too!
Hopefully, everything will be sorted by the time the kittens are getting curious and leaving their little box. Talking of kittens... want a peek? Just a photograph of the little boy kitten - he's such a cutie!

From organising many a move at work most folk now know better than to argue with me as to whether something will fit in a space LOL I always have a tape measure to hand. Enjoy your space.
The kitty is just sooooooooooo cute.

Squeak - you made the space by a whisker chick - we women are forces to be reckoned with! And the kitty is gorgeous :)) Di xx
Thank you for the little peek, so cute. Your space looks lovely, I can imagine you'll make it gorgeous :)
It looks lovely - so bright and fresh! Bet you can't wait to get in there.
Funny, I thought some of my comments were disappearing yesterday. I was blaming a dodgy internet connection, but now I'm not so sure..
