It's all coming back...

The revamp of my craft room has been a busy few days - the most stressful part definitely being emptying it - I'm still stunned by how much stuff I had squirrelled away in here and, despite the title of this post, it's not all coming back in - I need to evaluate evrything carefully and have a clearout, chuck a load of stuff (mostly old paperwork, sorry!) and put things back carefully.
Firstly, the room got a repaint and went a nice fresh white, and since we were tearing up the old carpet, we did all the gloss too (we hadn't done the gloss in this room at all - it was still orange from the previous owners. Yes, orange...) and then tired not to step on gripper rod for a few days (very hard going up and down stairs!) until the new carpets were fitted yesterday. They are a lovely clean neutral sort of stone colour (don't want to call it beige) and the room looks much lighter. We're doing all of upstairs the same. Now we're starting to put things back...
re-covered ironing table and left wall....

middle...


right wall with new work surface, large shelving unit has been chopped in half to fit underneath.
It all looks so empty! That could be because there's still two tonnes of stuff in the loft...
Willow's not impressed. She liked burrowing about in all the junk!
