Organizing & Decorating a Craft Room

I’ve been working on a special project for a little while now and I am so excited to finally be able to share it with you!  Doesn’t that picture above just pique your interest?

For a little while now I have been contemplating and talking with my husband about branching out to include a fun new area with my business.  I love creating, in many different ways!  I want to begin helping others claim an inspiring, organized space for their creating endeavors!

Recently I have spent three days in Nancy’s craft room.  Nancy has a great room but she invited me in to spruce it up a little and make it special!  Come visit Nancy’s craft room with me!

Today I’m going to share some Before and After pictures and then tomorrow I’m going to share some fun additions I added to the room, be sure to check back for those too, they’re great!

It may not look like much from this vantage point . . . but keeping looking!

Nancy has these great drawers for storing stamps and accessories.  Love them!  Don’t we all wish we had these?!  I didn’t do much inside the shelves, but I did tackle the top!

This is a great space, I wanted to make it look cute and yet be practical storage space as well!

Once of the areas in which Nancy wanted help was with her stash of 12 by 12 papers.  She had this stash and then some more spread out in a different room.  Also, do you see the shoebox to the left?  There was also one on the right of the DSP.

I found cute metal boxes to replace the shoe boxes and these white shelves for the Designer Paper.

And here is a second set of shelves for the 12×12 paper.

It’s a whole new counter now!

Once again, in this area I was going for a little less of a cluttered look.

I know it’s hard to keep counter tops free from clutter, but it’s nice to know there is a place for everything and it doesn’t have to be!

It’s great to have supplies right at your fingertips but of course you need a little room for your creative endeavors too!  Unfortunately, I forgot to get a picture of this, but I moved a wheeled cart that Nancy had and put it under this table, right by Nancy’s chair. . .

Nancy’s most used stamps, Stampin’ Up! ink spots and a few other things went into the drawers under the table which are easily accessible but no easily seen!  (Do you see the fun Envelope Punch Board projects from the Envelope Punch Board Magic Class there on her desk?!)  I will give you a close up view of a few of the storage items on this desk tomorrow.

Here’s one more Before/After set for today.

A few letter trays, a couple little baskets and a some shifting and there we go!

I have a lot more to share with you with this makeover, be sure to check back tomorrow for fun close up pictures for a few areas (some of my favorites areas)!  After all, you’ve got to come back to learn more about that first pictures I shared with you!

Could your craft room use a makeover?  I would love to help you out in that area!
