Before and After

Before, the second bedroom was just a place to throw all the boxes and a good majority of the craft supplies. I finally decided to get it cleaned out so I could use it for a treatment room - mostly for myself but also clients if need be. With several trips to IKEA and much lifting it turned into something like this:

These "after" pictures were taken this morning before I put my stones and crystals and stone grid layouts into the room. I also wanted to make sure I had room to set up the massage table for Reiki clients (including myself!).
You'll notice in the second picture here that the middle bookshelf thing seems to be missing something. When I opened the box, the two wood pieces that make it into a cube shape were not included. After making phone calls and searching the internet, the conclusion is that IKEA sucks and won't even let you buy the missing pieces. If you are interested, read this. Or this. Bottom line, I felt lucky that I had only spent $40 on it as opposed to some customers who had bought whole kitchens and faced nightmares.

Here's a little shot from this evening with some of my stones and a candle-lit oil diffuser going.

And a little picture of the beautiful piece of malachite I bought today. Just wanted to include it because it was so pretty!
