I’ve been getting alot of questions about my craft room. I posted photos about a year ago when I first got it set up but it has changed alot since then. When we finished our basement, I got a room! Yeah! It was small..so I had to plan it out right- I even went as far as to draw it out on graph paper to make sure all the stuff would fit first.. My husband put in the floors, cabinets and built all the IKEA stuff (seriously.. LOVE LOVE IKEA, but it comes in like a million pieces!) I’m so lucky to have him help me out with everything. He along with a great contractor who came over one night when I decided last minute that I HAD to have a closet, made this an awesome room for me to work in.
I keep waiting for it to be “clean” before I post photos , but I realized today, It’s not EVER going to be clean.. this is about as good as it gets! I kept 2nd guessing myself today for posting the photos, it looks sooo messy on film.. but hey, that’s the way it is! and this is clean 🙂
So here are some photos, with a little bit of info… and yes, I know I have A LOT of stuff. The way I work, I work best when my stuff is out and I can see it … So I have a tendency to keep stuff in open baskets, glass jars and piled up on counters. It gives the room a bit of a “messy” feel but it really helps me when I’m creating ..
*just a note, for some reason, the photos look great on my computer but I think blogger is degrading them a bit.. anyone know how to fix this?*
So enjoy, feel free to ask questions! (oh- I’ll get the paint color up ASAP)
WOW! I want this room. I am still pretty young….21…and don’t have much in way of crafting supplies yet, but I hope to one day have a room like this. I mean really this is my dream! I don’t think it looks messy at all, I think it looks exciting. All the things that can be done with all the stuff….I LOVE IT!
Oh. my. goodness!! That room looks amazing and so much fun. I would be in heaven..even if I don’t craft, I would love all those shelves and folders and bits!!!
What a lovely craft room you have there. I can imagine it must be very inspiring working there. And that chair looks great. Very comfy!
I have those same IKEA bookcases in my craft room. I got my husband to drive me three hours to pick it all up. Your room looks so similar to mine-sewing, scrapbooking, etc. I think a clean craft room is one that isn’t being used. 🙂 Yours looks great!!!! Love the colors.
That is an AMAZING craft room! Such an inspiring space! I’ve got that same IKEA bookcase in our playroom, and I want more of them for other areas of our house too…so versatile. Your polka dot chair looks so comfy, too! Happy crafting!
Great room! I’m so glad you left it “messy”, I always feel so bad about my space when people post their craft spaces and they are so neat and orderly and every countertop is cleaned off…I can NEVER see countertop in my space…LOL
Love it! What a fun room to create in! Thank for sharing!
Oh…I love your room…I’m going to come back to this post again and again for inspiration! One day I’ll stop sewing long enough to really have fun decorating my space…and then I want it to be like this one!
Awesome! Seriously! I love, love, love everything about it. And glad you showed off the elusive polka dot chair.
This room is heaven on earth. I know that I gravitate to it whenever I am there. I think of it as my home away from hom.
Your room is an inspiration for me! I’ve been planning a re-design of my sewing room for over a year now in my head but your photos gave me some more great ideas. Thanks for sharing!
That is the craft room that I dream of! Can I come and live in that chair?!? LOVE!
Melissa- I LOVE your room. I want it!
Got your comment- and since I actually played field hockey in high school (!!) I am on the hunt for a silo for you. I tried to make one yesterday but spent a lot of time and just wasn’t happy with it. Can I email you when I get it done?
Oh and I will for sure be linking to your Thanksgiving advent. Can’t wait to make mine!
Thanks, Mique (30 days)
I think I just drooled a little! That is seriously my dream room! My hubby is always giving me grief because I can’t pick just ONE hobby I have to do every thing that falls under the crafting title. This room is perfect for having a plethera of projects going at any one time. You are seriously SO lucky!
I love your room! The colors, chair and the big window make it perfect.
And I too think a clean craft room just means you aren’t using it!
Love the doll Traci made you and fun items on top. How fun to have happy bits and memories there to see everyday.
Can I move into your craft room please! I’ll set up shop behind that adorable chair and just gaze at your fabric! Please!!! I won’t be in the way! I promise!
Now that’s a pretty and inspiring room. Love the use of color! My room is sooooo sad. So, so sad. It’s needs some love. Will you do it for me?? 🙂
I love it! The big, cozy chair is such a nice touch. I wish I had room for one in my craft room. I’ll be linking to this post if you don’t mind.
love your studio! it’s fabulous!!
Love you!! love your blog love your style love your stash!!
I love your room, especially since it’s scrapbooking and sewing in one! Thanks so much for sharing!
I’m in LOVE with your craft room! So perfect! Suzie
Oh I am so inspired! We just moved and my craft room is a pile of boxes and fabric right now. But I so want it to be a pretty (and organized!) place. Thank you for the motivation. And now, I need to find an awesome chair too! 🙂
Where did you get that WONDERFUL chair????? I love it!!!!!
Awesome!
