Craft Room Challenge Week 3

Well, we have made it to Week #3 and things have been super hectic at our house…. it all started with sick kiddos… yep! We are still battling to get back to 100% and tomorrow schools have been closed due to inclement weather.

I do have a little of good news and more bad news….

Good news first though.

I purged and it feels so good!


You can also check out the video recap of Week 2 & 3 along with a shopping haul for supplies below!

You don’t realize how much junk you have until you go through it. I had so many things I hadn’t used in years!

  • Easter lights!
  • Empty bottles.
  • Yogurt containers for a long forgotten project.
  • Yarn ( I don’t even crochet or knit!).
  • Ribbon.
  • Leftover “thank you” cards from our wedding. 😱
  • And some plain ole trash!

Out they went to either to a donation box or the trash.

I am super happy about this. I do know there are a couple of other boxes down in the basement to go through, but honestly, I won’t get to those anytime soon so the boxes in the main level will have to do. Plus, really, there are only 2. I can handle those once my room is complete.

Other great news is that I finally got my paint order in! Check out this lovely shade of blue.

I am using this milk paint to change the look of these bookcases that will go in the craft room for storage.

Bad news is I have never worked with true milk paint before and I have hit some snags. But I will work through it and update these babies like I had hoped. It’s definitely a learning process so I will take it as that. However, everything keeps to be dragging so I have gotten a little frustrated these past couple of days.

But on a better note, I think I have finally found my decor style!

You ready?

I love the farmhouse style that Fixer Upper has brought to us,  but I also love coastal decor with a touch of sophistication kinda like the Hamptons… so I’m naming my style Hamptons Farmhouse… not sure if that’s a thing, but I’m keeping it. LOL!

Let’s just hope I can actually get what’s in my head to translate into my work. No pressure, right?

I hope to share their transformation next week so stay tuned! I am determined to get them done.

And finally, you remember the white walls I shared in last week’s post?

I am giving them an upgrade! To the tune of this…

So this week I am focusing on the following:

  • Finishing my projects
  • Setting furniture back in place
  • Throwing away more items I don’t need.
  • Start grouping things to make them easier for storing.

I would love to hear what your thoughts are so far!

    I like where you’re headed with your style concept. I love the farmhouse style too, but I’ve realized that I’m a tropical/beachy style. Can’t wait to see the reveal this week.

A Little About Your Latina

My name is Yami. I'm a wife, mother of 3 beautiful children and of course, your Latina next door. If you're my neighbor you will most likely here a sander, drill or a can of spray paint hard at work at any given moment (with some salsa playing the background of course). I'm grateful that I get to stay at home and document all the little, BIG or just down crazy things I come up with to make my house a home. I would love for you to join me on this adventure!
