Default I finished my craft room - FINALLY!

I finally got around to finishing this room and LOVE it! Thought I would share.

I've gone through so many scrap rooms looking for ideas, and this is what I decided to do:

A couple of the pics are a little blurry because I had to change the DPIs so radically to get it to upload.

Wow.. great job!!

I find it harder to keep my room clean than to design.

What a great room! I love the desk in the corner--lots of elbow room there.

Wow - great job! I've been working all weekend on my son's room. He left and now it gets to be my craft room, but there's so much crap in there, it feels like I'll never get it cleaned up! When I do, I hope I can get it to be as organized as yours.

I love the colors you chose for your storage boxes, are they Martha Stewart ?
Everything looks so fresh and inviting great job.

Wow!! Super awesome space. Looks so neat and tidy. I like the idea of using boxes for you projects in progress. It beats mine laying in different areas of my stamp table. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!!!! I love this room and I had to share it. I'm so glad others like it too.

Someone asked about the boxes, but I don't know which ones, so these are ones I have in the room:

The blue boxes on the desk are from the Martha Stewart line at Michael's. I bought them one at a time for 40% off. I have one box for each of my ongoing projects.

The green boxes are picture boxes from Michael's. It took me 3 months to and 4 different Michael's to find 10 of the green ones that I liked. I have all of sorts of things in these boxes - fiber, pictures, scraps of designer paper, cards, foreign currency collection that my kids have, and more.

The brown boxes are from IKEA. The name is STRIKT and they are fabric. I had the brown for the accents colour-matched from these boxes. In these boxes are designer paper, adhesive, eyelets, electronics, envelopes/paper/file folders, kids' paint, kids' craft paper, and more.

Oh, it's gorgeous. I'm so inspired. My husband is talking about enclosing our screened in porch. We already have plenty of rooms in our house set up as living areas, so I think I will take over and turn it into my new craft room when it's finished. I love the french doors.

Where did you find the shelving unit?

The shelves are from IKEA and the brand name is EXPEDIT.


I have spent the last few hours in my room scrapping and the kids have come in and out to get their stuff to enter an art contest. I am so happy and peaceful in here.

Beautiful, functional room :-)

Can you tell me the room dimensions? I'm planning my space for our new house - it's an 8x10 room and I'm imagining what might fit.

TIA -

Yummy! Just coming from my stamping area and the snide remark of my 11 year old son ("Mom, you really should clean up this mess"), I'm extremely jealous!

Gorgeous and what a great layout..love the colors too!

Thanks!


Those ribbon holders are in the Stampin' Up catalogue, or at least they were 2 years ago.

They're made of plastic and they is semi-strong. I thought they would be stronger, but they do the job.

Fabulous room!! I love that cubby shelf unit, that I know came from IKEA! I am so envious of anyone that lives near one. I am in the process of putting the finishing touches on my new craft area that has taken a month to complete as we did a complete overhaul. Since there are no IKEA's near enough to me, I settled for a cubby bookshelf from Staples that was on clearance from $199 to $57. Thanks so much for sharing!!
