Freddie's Craft Space

Do you remember HERE, I said that I would show you
the new space that we have made in the Sitting Room for Freddie to
create his wonderful Art!

Well I thought I would show you it now, as it has been a while! hasn't it!

We have added the horrible green draw unit (which was in our bedroom) to the ensemble, as you can see it has been given a lovely makeover, by painting it with Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint (I love that stuff!) and decoupaging it with pretty papers.

Freddie uses many mediums to create his collages and he desperately needed a light and airy space to work in...

So rather than making the Sitting room, just a room we watch the TV in, we decided to put a desk underneath the window to create this special creating space for him.

...and what a difference it has made for him! 

He has somewhere for everything, I have even bought in the old wicker shopping trolley for him to store all his paints and papers, all neatly tucked underneath the table.

It really is a dream of a space, I don't know why we didn't think of it before!
