100 Year Old Home - Craft Room

Down in my basement, I have a nook.


A nook that is mine...all mine.


A nook filled with things that inspire me to create.


A nook that at one time was my husband's.

A nook where *we* compromised as a suitable location for his bachelor decor.  By compromising *we* agreed his mask collection was best out of sight.

And, out of sight, we happily compromised until the beautiful Parson Tower Desk he made me was placed in this nook.


Believe it or not, he willingly compromised {again} by donating his masks in honor of my nook.

I am positive, one day, I'll see a spray painted makeover of these masks on a blog.  Maybe one day, you'll see them hanging in Sherry Petersik's house :)


So, the masks came down and a TV went up because, this is still just a nook.  

A beautiful little nook I share with some workout equipment...


and my husband :)

    Isn't it wonderful to have a little space to call your own! Yours looks so colorful and pretty! When you get ready to makeover those masks, let me know....I'll join you and make over those deer skulls in my family room!

    So sweet of him to share it with you:) So sweet of you willing to share it with him:) My husband and I, we don't want to share..hehe. I never was able to win that one room... it's still just the "storage room".. which I actually do use...for storage! Hey, I guess we are sharing after all! lol

    You can send the masks to anyone's house you want but don't put my name in the hat to send the exercise equipment to.
