Roomspiration – Craft Rooms

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Roeshel

Have you been following along and participation in the Roomspiration series? Today it’s Craft Rooms hosted by Shan from

You MUST see her awesome craft room! It’s so organized and pretty and you’ll drool!

My craft room/office combo is actually in the works. I’m in the process of moving my office/craft room upstairs (to be able to close the door when it’s a disaster) and create a pretty guest bedroom downstairs. I just emptied this room:

Before (although the twin bed has been gone for about a year)

Now that room is completely empty. When we moved in, we removed the gross carpet and just live(d) with plywood.

(cleaning out in progress…)

The mood board I created is intended for this room!

And there wasn’t a door on the bathroom! We added one soon after we moved in and it’s time to add trim to this side of the door frame. The opening on the right used to be a walk-through closet. It’s now our laundry room. (Another project one of these days!)

Okay – enough about the guest room! Back to the craft room!

Most of my craft junk has been moved into our unfinished family room. It looks like this…YIKES! Where does all that stuff come from?!!!

Just keeping it real! The family room is another project on our DIY list.

However, here’s where what I’m keeping is all getting moved to, everything in it’s place…

I‘m not quite finished and it’s all just moving, re-organizing, sorting and purging and using things I already had into a room that didn’t need re-painted at this time. I still have to move my sewing machine in here. Nothing new in the room but it really needed organized and downsized and I love the way just a new location with old t
hings feels fresh and new, don’t you?

Beach Brights' Awesome Craft Room

Posted on May 3, 2011 by Roeshel

Who needs a formal living room anyway?! Let’s see: You spend a lot of time in your comfy cozy family room and the formal living room gets little traffic. You do crafts on the dining room table or the coffee table or even the floor. Sound familiar? I love that Christy from Beach Brights found a better solution in her home. I would have done the same thing. A little-used area becomes a functional awesome VERY useful area!

Her formal living room before:

After…yes! That’s what I’m talking about!

Beautiful cabinetry, awesome island work-space and love that colorful rug!

There’s even an extra handy outlet in a great spot – can you see it?

Look at all of the awesome storage for perfectly organized materials!

I love when everything has a place.

Closet Office – More than Rubies

Posted on February 16, 2011 by Roeshel

With a new baby on the way and a craft room turning nursery, Amber from More than Rubies was looking for a place to organize her craft supplies and create an office space. After a lot of research, they decided to turn the guest room closet into an office. Here are some pictures of her inspiration:
