My "First" Craft Room Tour

Hello my friends this day has taken me along time to get here. Some of you would be shocked to know I have never had my own room. I am not complaining since that means I have been lucky to have shared my room with my sister and then my husband. Speaking of my Prince Charming, he has been incredible working toward a day when I would have my own room to create. The room I used before as a creative space was in the basement. I tried so hard to dress up one wall, a counter and decorated the space with most of the storage items in my new craft room.
Angie from Country Chic Cottage gathered several amazing bloggers to share their Craft Room Tours this week. Be sure to check them all out as you will find even the smallest or biggest rooms have the most creative ideas. There is a link at the bottom of my post so head over there ASAP.

There is No Place Like A Craft Room

Hello, Darlins! Today I am feeling so excited to share my craft room. Being a creative soul there is no place like a craft room to get your craft on. Angie from Country Chic Cottage (Click the link here to see her Craft Room Tour) invited me to join her and several other bloggers to show you where we create. 

One of the first pieces I built is a desk with plenty of storage. The base is made of two +IKEA USA  Kallax units available for $34.99 plus 8 drawers. The top was found at a thrift store for eight dollars. Score! Click here to see this post.

Another project that brought storage and organization to the craft room is the Ikea computer cabinet seen here that was transformed. (To see the before click here.)

 A girl changes her mind occasionally. This beauty has now moved across the room and I must say I am a happy girl. My first post about this space was quite awhile ago. Do you remember, Dancing In The Craft Room? Click here to see the post. My goodness this has been a long process with still more to finish. Dancing in the Craft Room II  shares more of the journey to my happy place. Click here for the link.

 The lamp was two separate purchases from a thrift store. Click the link here. The change in this beauty came from an inspiration of my friend Deanna who is an amazing artist.

Organization is key to keep your craft room ready for moments of inspiration. These items were purchased at +Michaels Stores and thrift stores. The pop of coral bucket is from Ikea.

Recently I painted my Nana's table and set up my sewing machine with ribbon storage I still need to fill. This table made me an emotional mess as I was painting her now called Nana. Click here for the link. This precious table made a long trip from Brooklyn with my Nana and her three children. My Mom was seven on the day Pearl Harbor was attacked. My mom recalled how long it took to arrive in Chicago because the train stopped to pick up the soldiers to report for duty. I created the denim letters too. Click here to see how.

You can never have enough storage. I am still working on the supplies I have not found a good home for yet. My craft room sits in the middle of our basement. Today by changing the location of the craft cabinet I think I like the new arrangement. On my lists of improvements is emptying the space next to my work area to add more storage along with large work space for painting furniture.

 Do you have a craft room? Is there a favorite item in your craft room I am missing? Please share your ideas in the comments.
