"Why should i feel like I've made some sort of martyr or that I've done anything at all for the experience? I've tried so hard not to be excited, but that was pretty much impossible. And now that it's here, I'm just wondering, what's going to happen?

Lily has really wanted to get the craft room put together for a while. I was waiting until we actually had some more space since the garage wasn't built and therefore didn't really have space for a closet.

But yesterday I did get in there and start cleaning it up.

I was already planning to paint the walls white. But then I decided to change my mind. First I took down some of the shelves that were behind the door and cleared some of the clutter away.

Then I took down the wicker bench and swept and scrubbed it down (thank you Walmart for making it so cheap).

Next I took all of the baby stuff out of the shelves and washed it all. The next part is going to be where I paint it. I didn't have to take all the shelves down and paint them in one go, it was more like one section at a time. So first I needed to take out all the clothes that Lily has outgrown (some since before she was even born).

Then I'll be able to put the other shelves back up. I only have about 5 shelves left and then I'll have a ton of empty space. I'm going to buy 2 dressers that will be painted white and placed in the closet to hold all of Lily's clothes.

Then I'll have a bigger closet for my things. First I'm going to buy some inexpensive fabric paint and paint the hooks with the wall color. Then I'll cover the hinges and do a little white paint to make them white.

I plan on painting the shelves with chalkboard paint and then getting some paint samples and painting those for future craft days. Now that I've got the space painted I'm going to get some fabric paint and paint the room one wall pink with posters. Because uh, yeah, my kid is just like me :D
