My Craft Room

During this past summer, I was finally able to set up a craft room in my house.     We took our guest bedroom and made it into a shared space for my daughter (homework desk, piano, toy/game storage) and my crafting.   Since we rarely have guests that spend the night, we decided that this would be a better use of our available space (and a lot cheaper than remodeling the basement).      I was inspired to take some photos and share my space after reading the post by Ashley Robinson on She Sure is Sketchy, Amber of Amber Ink’s blog.

 

 

My desk, laptop, printer, and most importantly, my iPod dock.

 

 

 

My shelves with the boxes from Ikea that I used to store my crafty goodies.  I have them all labeled so that I can find what I am looking for.     

 

 

 

Copic marker storage.  My DH made this for me using a basket and foam board.  I also have some air cans, Stampin’ Up markers, and Copic ink refills on this shelf.    (Sorry the pic is a bit distorted.)

 

 

 

This is the shelf above my desk with all my buttons and bakers twine.  Yes, I have a problem – I keep buying more and I can’t help myself.    That is a jar of rice on the shelf, I am planning on making more fleece hand warmers and need it for filling.

 

Here are a few more pics of my crafty space.

 

 

 

I hope  you enjoyed this peek into my “girl cave”.     Have a wonderful Sunday!

fab room cheryl. i am lucky enough to be having an extension built, which will mean my very own craft room - i cant wait! where did you get your furniture. i particularly like the chest of draws, with all the shallow draws. ive looked at lots of craft furniture sites but they can be very expensive.

Fabulous space Cheryl and you are SO organized.

Micki said...

Awesome space. It's so streamlined and clean. Mine will NEVER look like that I'm afraid... :-( for one, I have too much stuff and 2. no IKEA close by so storage option as in drawers, etc would be twice as expensive.
