Craft Studio Tour: Part 1

- January 31, 2013 | by April -

CraftStudio23

I’m thrilled to show you my craft studio that’s finally complete. I’ve been working on this room since March of 2012 when we moved into this house, but I got serious about it this month as one of my home projects. I have to split the photos up into different posts, because there are a lot of them. Here’s the first round.

My parents gave me the circular shelving unit below for Christmas:

My sweet husband brought the vintage fan home for me, because I wasn’t feeling well and he wanted to cheer me up. I had pointed out the fan to him the day before when I found it listed on Craig’s List. Isn’t he the best?

I bought the magazine racks off of Amazon and spray painted them white:

My parents also gave me the trunks for Christmas, and I love using them for craft supply storage. And, my mother-in-law gave me the faux Paris book that I’m also using for storage:

I hate hiding my prettiest clothes in my closet. I decided to hang my favorite, sparkly dress for inspiration and decoration:

Soon, you’ll see mint paint I used to spiff up a wooden chair for my craft studio. I used the same color to paint the faceplates and outlet covers:

Tomorrow, I’ll post part two.

    I want to come play at your house! So many supplies to experiment with – oh yes. Love seeing so many of the magazines on my shelf in your magazine racks too. Alas – my studio does not look like yours. Lets just say I’ll never be featured in Where Women Create 😉

    LOVE IT!! I love my craft room…it’s not really big, but very functional and filled with pretty things in my favorite color combo – pink and brown! I’ll have to post some photos one day! I know you are going to love creating in there. It makes a big difference to have your own creative space. We are working on changing our garage into a music room for my hubby right now!

    I love it!
    I wish I’d have a whole room to put all my creative stuff in and decorate it to be inspired by.
    Absolutely adore all those old boxes by the way. Smart to ask it for Christmas!

    I love it! I keep my Sharpies in mason jars too. They’re too pretty to keep in a drawer. Of course, I don’t have a jar full of plastic animals. 🙂 I never thought about displaying my favorite clothes, but I like the idea.
