My Craft Room

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, a view from the door. To the left are two bookshelves and my tv on the wall. Oh and that's Lucy, my ever-so-helpful cat.

My desk is set on three 3x3 bookcases from Target. 

Each bin is labeled. The front shelving unit is filled with all my yarn sorted by color. There is also another 3x3 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. 

The shelf to the right of my tv. 

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.

This is one of the shelves on the bookcase to the left of my TV. 

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!
