MY SEW SOUTHERN LIFE: pottery studio set up

SO....my first major project of the year is my craft room/sons playroom. This is a rather large room that is above our garage so I guess you would call it a bonus room. This room could be such a great place for us to utilize but right now it is just lying dormant. When we moved in, I was so overwhelmed by all the stuff I had to sort through I never got it organized. All of my business equipment is in there along with a miss match of other things like Callan's toys, pottery stuff,wrapping paper,paint supplies,scrapbook supplies, my husbands weights, our treadmill and our elliptical. Like I said it's a large room and if it was set up properly could be a great place for us to use.

My goal is this.......and remember this must be done on a budget! I would like to make half the room a family/play room. I would like to get a sectional,end tables,coffee table and shelves to put callans toys in. I want a room that we can watch TV in and relax and Callan can play in while I do my business stuff and my crafts. I want the other side to be my pottery studio,craft section,business section. Last but not least I want it to all be CUTE!!!

So..... the project begins,I want to use my furniture i already have with the addition of some new/used pieces for the living area. Here is some pics of the before. It's a little shocking so be prepared!

Here are some before pics of the furniture I am working on refurbishing.

(now remember these are items I already had so they are free!)

So far I have spent about $60.00 on paint and new hardware.

Not bad for 4 pieces

I am trying to pick a paint color it is a little overwhelming

I bought this fabric in Atlanta in the spring and I was going to use it for my kitchen and then I decided it was too busy for the other patterns I had going on in there so I am trying to work the room around this since I already have 10 yards of it!
