Thanks so much! I really like yours as well. In fact, we moved into a new (new for us) house back in June, and I am so thankful to have one room dedicated to crafting. I really want to make it pretty, but it’s kind of last on the priority list.
Your blog is definitely an inspiration for my craft room, however. 🙂
