Excepting what could be put into the cupboards/drawers everything has been moved into the lounge where I'm attempting to craft & keep losing things - the USB camera cable had to be located before I could upload the photos.
This is my room where I normally work: the counter where laptop & printer normally sit & opposite that the shelves are usually full of cardstock, boxes of stamps & inks etc..... It's a tiny room so I had to stand in the doorway to take the centre & right photos. The left one is taken with my back pressed against the shelves you can see in the right hand photo.
And here in our lounge is my work table, with the surrounding kit (except telephone & its table plus books) that normally fits into the above room.
The rest is strewn about the lounge wherever I could find a space
The windows were stripped & sanded over the weekend & my husband managed to apply the primer & undercoat between rain showers & before the heavy rain this morning.
The above was taken before everything had been removed from the room.
Finally, this is what is on my table - I'm venturing into unknown territory with the Tim Holtz Distressing Tool I've just acquired. So, it seems appropriate to link this posting to WOYWW.

Exciting though - a whole new decor to your room! Look forward to seeing the finished product!
Hi Paula, what fun you're having - looks like at least you've left yourselves somewhere to sit. I've moved house/craftroom 3 times in the past year and I still can't find things - do hope you fare better. Will being re-decorated help you to stay tidier and better organized do you think?
hugs Heather xx
oh its coming along nicely and you will have to let me know what you think of the distressing tool as i have been thinking of getting one for a while now.Have a wonderful day xx
oh what fun you will have when you put it all back in, you will find some goodies you have forgotten about, cant wait to see the finished room
hugs

Hi Ya
oh great piccies lots of work going on there, would luv to do my craftroom but the thought of clearing it out!! UGH!! thanks for the snoop, have a great WOYWW, sue,x
OMG, you're brave.... the thought of trying to get all of my stash out of my craft room so I can redecorate scares me witless! I bet your looking forward to having your room back, all freshly decorated.
Your room will look great all done. For now, enjoy the living room!
I know it's a pain when decorating has to be done BUT it will all be worth it & you can still craft !!! xx
Oooh look forward to checking out the finished room, Paula!!
Please show the room when finished and if you could possibly send your husband to mine to finish my craftroom it would be appreciated thanks

Oooooh can't wait to see your new craft space, don't forget to take pics as you are going along.
Don't forget to give hubby plenty of hugs, he's doing a grand job!!
xx
This will be great when it's finished. I'd love to see the before and after shots!
Chrissie
can I ask - why buy a distresser when you can do the same with folded fine sand paper?
Dx
Ah, but this will be so worthwhile when it is finished!
I see a lot going on, hope all goes well and you get to craft when it all nice and tidy. I bet you cannot wait. Wish my other half would paint, a few years ago was going to paint outside the house fell off the ladder fractured 3 bones in foot and was off 6 months so he won't go up a ladder now. Have fun Hugs JO.xxxx

I know it'll be hard work, but worth the effort when it's finished, I hope you'll show us some photos when it's all done?
There's a little something on my blog for you to collect Paula.
Love Elaine xx
I bet it will be fab when its done!
You will get so much enjoyment out of your newly redone room! Just hang in there, this too shall pass.
Oh Paula - it will be worth it - but upheaval always feels as though its never ending! Your storage units are lvoely - will look forward to seeing you moved in and comfortable again. I know what you mean about unknown territory, have been gazing at TH products and styles for a while, very out of my comfort zone! Good luck!
Just envision the new room and the mess won't seem so hard to bear. I know you will love it once it's redone. It already looks fabulous with lots of storage spaces.
Sorry I'm late visiting, but my computer contracted a virus on Wednesday. It's still not fixed, but I had to make sure I wasn't infecting anyone before I resumed my visits. Happy belated WOYWW.
I love your craft room Paula! it looks about the same size as mine but so much better organised - even now! it is going to be a fabulous crafting space for you.
hugs, annie x
wow Paula your revamped craft room is going to be gorgeous...let me know when the piccys are up of the finished room pls
