i can't believe i'm doing this

before you go any further, if you have issues with messes, an aversion to clutter or are just plain ol' judgmental you might want to skip this post.

i also want to say that i really really really can't believe i am putting this out for people to see but if it gets me this

then i am totally fine with it.

if it doesn't bring her to me then hopefully the shame of people seeing my bonus room like this will get my butt it gear. 

seriously folks, you have no idea what you are about to witness.

i also must put up a disclaimer that the rest of my house does not look like this.

i have been reading mandi's blog for a while now and i love her thrifty, chic style. it's what my house would look like if we were best friends and i could buy cute stuff and let her fix it, paint it and place it for me.

unfortunately that isn't the case.

but fortunately she is doing this fantabulous makeover contest.

and soon you will know just how bad i need this thing.

are you ready?

OK, here goes.

this...

this is my bonus room.

(please take a look while i hide under my desk)

to start the tour if you look to your right we have the sewing/ironing/fabric craft portion of the room. to answer your question...YES, it is almost impossible to do any crafting here.

directly opposite we have the computer/scrapbook/ebay/garage sale pile/library portion.

straight ahead we have the entertainment area. pretty entertaining isn't it?

and to complete our tour we have a full view of the scrapbook/bathroom/where the heck is the door to get me out of this pit portion on our lovely bonus room. don't you just love the fan pull? 

me either.

and that, my friends, completes the tour of our overcrowded, overstuffed, underused because of the above pictures room.

please mandi! please please please pull me out of my pit!
