Unveiling of my craft room ** A dream come true
I am showing a few different angels of my craftroom , The zebra print is a rug in front of teh closet dooor the wall next to teh closet is black because that is a chalk board paint on the wall , the entry door , closet doors and the baseboards are painted black and then we sprinkled silver glitter that is found in the paint section of lowes on top of the black paint . A girl must have glitter :)
