My crafts room
The reason that it took so long before something new was added to my blog is because we had to deal with some internal moving.
Het kleine kamertje waar ik eerst mijn hobby uitoefende is vervangen door een mooie zolderkamer die volledig geverfd en ingericht moest worden.
Hierbij ben ik geholpen door de styliste Agitte Huberts, zodat alles stylisch verantwoord is.
Om er een beetje vaart in te zetten hebben we al delen van de inrichting gekocht voordat de zolder geschilderd is. Deze moesten wel nog allemaal in elkaar gezet worden.
The small room I used to work in, is replaced with a beautiful attic which needed to be painted and decorated completely.
Styliste Aggite Huberts helped me with the transformation of the attic, to make sure that everything was stylish responsible.
In order to speed up the transformation, we already bought some furniture, even before the room was painted. This furniture still needed to be put together.
In het totaal waren het 12 kastjes a 6 laatjes, is 72 laatjes die in elkaar gevouwen moesten worden. Het woord la mocht hierna ook enige tijd niet meer genoemd worden om hysterische aanvallen te voorkomen.
Daarna moesten alle laatjes naar de zolder en enigzins op hun plek worden gezet.
There was a total of 12 cabinets with 6 drawers each, which meant that in total, 72 drawers needed to be folded for use. Afterwards, the word drawer was forbidden for a while, to prevent anxiety attacks. Afterwards, all the cabinets needed to be moved to the attic and placed on the spot where they were supposed to be.
Na gedane arbeid is het goed ijs eten, want het was redelijk warm die dag.
After all the hard labour, it was time for some icecream, because it was quite hot that day.
Daarna was de tafel met roomdevider aan de beurt om uitgepakt en in elkaar gezet te worden.
De volgende dag hebben we al spullen uit het kleine kamertje naar boven gebracht. Hierbij waren o.a. de stempels die we op onderwerp in de laatjes verdeelden.
The following day we braught all the small objects from the old room to the attic. A part of all this were all the stamps that needed to be divided into categories for each drawer.
Hierna hebben Herman en ik toch maar eerst de zolder helemaal wit geschilderd, want anders bleven we de spullen maar verschuiven. Het was nog een heel karwei omdat rood en geel eronder te krijgen, maar met glasvezelbehang wat wit geschilderd werd is het toch nog gelukt.
Toen kon het echte werk beginnen. Een kleurig behangetje achter de ladenkastjes en de kast, die ik van Eefke had gekregen, moest een ander kleurtje krijgen.
After this, it was time for me and Herman to paint the attic completely white. Because if we wouldn’t we would be even more busy with moving all the stuff around the room to be able to reach everything. It was quite difficult to cover the red and yellow with the white paint, but after a few rolls of glass fiber wallpaper and some extra white paint, we managed to get everything done. After completing all the painting it was time to start with the real work. A colorful wallpaper behind the small cabinets and a new color for the large cabinet Eefke gave to me were the new projects
In de kast staan op de bovenste twee planken de potjes met bloemen.
Op de volgende plank staan de potjes met embossingpoeder.
The large cabinet is divided as following. On the top to shelves are jars with floweres.
The shelf below those two is full of little jars filled with embossing powder.
Daarna volgen de potten met de lintjes, zoveel mogelijk op kleur.
Below that one are all the jars with ribbons, which are color coordinated as much as possible.
En dan hebben we nog de kleine potjes met embelishments.
And on the lowest shelf are all the jars with embellishments.
Er moesten ook nog wat planken worden opgehangen. Ook dat deden we allemaal zelf. GIRL POWER.
There were also some extra shelves which needed to be put up against the wall across from the large cabinet. Which me and Agitte did all by ourselves. GIRL POWER.
Nu even nog wat dozen in elkaar zetten waar ik mijn spullen in kwijt kan. Dit gebeurde met de extra hulp van mijn zoon Ron.
And if that wasn’t enough storage space, a few boxes (20!) needed to be put together with some extra help from my son, Ron.
Het eindresultaat mag er volgens ons wezen.
We beginnen bij de deur, die beschilderd is met mageneet- en met schoolbordverf. Daarna gaan we, als we in de kamer staan rechtsom.
Na de deur krijg je de "koffie/thee" hoek, dan de papierkast, de cricut/cuttlebughoek, aan de muur bakjes voor potloden, stiften en pennen, met daaronder de ladenkastjes met stempels en stempelkussens. Daarna de tafels om aan te werken die, vooral voor het licht, onder de ramen zijn geplaats en vervolgens tegen de muur nog ladenkastjes met stempels en daarop dozen met designpapier. In de roomdevider staan ook nog allemaal dozen waar spullen in zitten.
We believe that the finished result was worth all the effort.
Let’s start with the door, which is painted with magnetic and chalkboard paint. If you turn right once you’ve entered the room you’ll find a ‘coffee corner’ a paper cabinet and the corner for my cricut and cuttlebug. On the wall there is a rails with small pots which hold pencils, markers and pens. Below that rails are all the small cabinets with stamps and ink cushions. Next to those are the tables which are used to work at. These tables are placed below the windows for the extra light. Against the wall are some more small cabinets with stamps and on top of those cabinets the boxes with design paper. The room divider is filled with boxes as well which are filled with stuff you don’t use on a regular basis.
