Guest Blogger: Alicia from Sweet Ava Kate--Craft Room Reveal!
Alicia and her blog, Sweet Ava Kate, is my new blog crush. I love her style and this craft room/office transformation shows it off perfectly. Aren't those curtains delish? The whole room is light, airy, modern, and done on a budget. LOVE!Hi! I'm Alicia and I blog over at Sweet Ava Kate! I hope you'll stop by and visit me sometime!
After much organization and accessorizing, I am so happy to show you my completed home office.
This is where I'll blog, craft and stamp. Here are pictures of the before, during,
and after!

Every box, basket, jar and ceramic bowl holds my supplies. I wanted it to be both functional and eye appealing.
When accessorizing the Expedit, I applied Beth's tips on how to decorate shelves, creating visual triangles.

The drapes were made by me, using Bedazzle Silver Lining by Waverly.
The gallery wall was created using frames I had on hand and others I found at thrift stores and Home Goods.
The lamp came from Home Goods and the dresser is a Craigslist find for $55!

My dear friend, Autumn (from my college years) sent me this card after our Pampered Chef weekend together.
I love the message and the colors are perfect for the new space.

The mat will be framed with black and white pictures of the kids and will be hung above the light blue cabinet. The cork boards came from Ava's room. I will be covering them with this fabric, for my memo and inspiration boards.

Special thanks to Mimi @ Blue Roof Cabin for having a giveaway to celebrate her one year blogiversary. Sweet Ava Kate was chosen and this Pottery Barn globe came home with me.
My inspiration for this room comes from Megan @ Honey We're Home.
I fell in love with her home office, especially the drapery fabric and then it evolved from there.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great week!
I love everything about this room. I'm going to have to go check out her blog right now!
