My Craft Room aka "The Party Room"

I have been meaning to share my craft room with you all!  This room used to be our "guest" bedroom.  We don't have guests out of town often so, we decided to make it my mommy cave.  My girls named this room "The Party Room".

Embarrased to share these "before" pics with you, but here's what the room used to look like......yuck!!!!  I can't believe I was able to get work done...ha!





Here's the wall before the zebra mural.....a HUGE THANK YOU to my friend, Jennifer for painting this mural....she's so talented!!!











Now...believe me....it DOES NOT always look as clean, but I picked it up before we took these pics! :)  Here's a "before" and "after" close up.....





What do you all think??  I love love being in my room!!!! 
I never want to leave....next on my list is to get a tv on the wall :) 
The scrapbook racks and tall black shelf were purchased on craigslist.  Most of the decor is from Hobby Lobby including the damask curtains.  The big piece with the cubes is from IKEA and so is the chandelier!  It was all done on a small budget and a little at a time so, it's all paid for cash....yaaay!!!

    WOW! This is FABULOUSNESS!! I love pink and of course black and white as well. I think many (fun)ladies would say that these colors are their favorites as well. Great job. I love the wooden piece for all the canvas cubes too.

    I know how difficult it is to paint heavy "knock down" finished drywall. Your room looks fantastic and that mural is incredible!

    This is SUPER SUPER cute!!!
    It reminds me a lot of the look I have in mind for my bedroom... This was the design board I did up for it before I moved in (http://www.flickr.com/photos/superflash/4613161401/) And this is how it looked on move-in day, back in August: http://www.flickr.com/photos/superflash/4926573452/ (The big black panels are actually black damask curtains covering my window, it's hard to tell in a photograph). It's changed a lot since then, but still needs a lot more work. I can't wait to have it done up similarly to your space here!
    Amazing!

    I love this room!! We just moved and the theme I've been planning for my sewing studio is black, white & hot pink zebra! This just gives me more inspiration! Where is the big table/desk from? I'm looking for something similar to sew on.
