I get a lot of compliments on my craft room (thanks friends!), so I decided to blog about it. I’m lucky enough to have a room all to myself where I can be creative make all sorts of things.
It also serves as my office and my desk and I had a long stint of togetherness when I was finishing my Master’s.
Recently, I went on an organization melee and after a rather extreme weekend of sorting, labeling, and putting in some thin shelves, I’m pretty satisfied with my room. I declare this room: DONE!
I knit, sew, paper craft, and a bunch of other random crafts. Lately, I’ve been making a bunch of wreaths (not just for the holidays!), glitterfying everything, putting bling on the jeans of my butt. All sorts of things. I like to dabble in a lot of different crafting mediums (when I want to be taken a little more seriously, I bust out a mixed-media collage) and I needed a room that let me explore all the sides of my creativity. Now I have it! Take a look! Let me know if you have any questions a bout the products I used (most everything for storage is from Ikea and The Container Store)
Oh and my craft room also has a comfy chair and a big closet filled with bigger things, including all my wedding organizing.

| My desk is set on three 3×3 bookcases from Target. |
Each bin is labeled. The front shelving unit is filled with all my yarn sorted by color. There is also another 3×3 underneath the L of my desk.

The tags are card stock that I cut into rectangles, used my corner rounder, a hole punch, and attached with cheap ribbon.

Simple Billy bookcase from Ikea, filled with container store mini-boxes (I think they are $1.29 each) and Ikea boxes. I got the small Ikea boxes for $1.99 for 2! Thank you close out.

Those boxes were such a great deal that I bought 16 of them!
 |
| I saw a craft room on Pinterest that had super thing shelves like this and I had to have them. |
I used a 3/8″ bit on these 1x2s and drilled 1/3 of the way in. Then I used my regular bit and drilled right into the studs. Counter sinking these screws made drilling straight a wee bit more easy! Total cost for this project, by the way, was 8 bucks!
 |
| I went a little label crazy. I bought those clear bins for A DOLLAR at container store. They are normally $18 but they were on the clearance wall and the guy who is in charge of the clearance area was there and he said to me: what do you want I’ll make you a deal. I cleaned up! |
So that’s my craft room!
