A good buddy of ours surprised his wife with an incredible Christmas gift this year, and I just had to share it with you. Derek had been talking about giving his wife, Holly, her own dedicated “craft room” for a few months, and a week before Christmas, he worked his little buns off to give her a seriously precious present.

Here’s the story: Derek’s a teacher, so he had the week off before Christmas. Instead of kicking back and relaxing during his well-deserved vacation, Derek high-tailed it to Ikea and Home Depot, and went to work on Holly’s room. While Holly was at work, Derek painted his heart out, assembled the shelves and desk and organized like crazy. After only a few days, he unveiled his Christmas gift. As you can imagine, Holly was shocked and overjoyed – talk about a labor of love!

Here are the before and afters pics…

Helllllo storage! Holly’s been talking about starting her own etsy shop, and her new craft room gives her plenty of space to create, sew, and assemble projects. And did I mention her HUSBAND did this for her? I mean, does it get any cuter than that?

Again, just had to share Derek’s incredibly thoughtful gift. What a guy.
