Craft Room Tour

04/11/2014 9 Comments

Craft Room from The Crafted SparrowI’m pleased to be a part of the Craft Room Tours that Angie from The Country Chic Cottage is hosting.  Over 30 craft rooms are being featured, so be sure to check out Angie’s blog to see all the amazing crafty spaces.  Today I’m finally sharing my Craft Room Tour, it’s definitely a post that has been a long time coming.  I’d love to say that I’m done with this space, but I’m far from done.  I figured if I didn’t just break down and finally show everyone it would probably never happen.

I’m lucky enough to have a formal living room in our small 1370 sq. foot house.  For years this room was just for our computer and a couch.  No one used it.  I decided a couple years ago that it would be all mine!  It’s a great size and leaves me plenty of space to create.  Granted not all of my crafting supplies are in this room, some are still out in our garage.  I keep most of what I use on a daily basis in this room though.

Here is a fun before pic of the room a few years ago.  So much gold & tan, yikes.  I fought so hard for this ridiculous couch when we bought this house.  It was our first real furniture purchase as adults and it cost us $1500 to have custom made.  It was awful to sit on.

006Since this room is the first room people see when they walk in my house I wanted it to be clean and somewhat professional looking.  I have had dark furniture for years so I went with black furniture, most of which I painted.  With the exception of the new white Chalky Finish table I craft on that I just painted this week.  I love how it pops against all the dark colors.

Craft Room 17I keep all my fabric in bins on these two bookshelves.  My “favorite” fabrics are stored in the pretty wire baskets.

Craft Room 13This is my desk, nothing special…in fact it’s in desperate need of a makeover.  It gets the job done!  I also have a slight problem buying cute wrapping paper, and I love this metal hamper I have them stacked in.

Craft Room 18Craft Room 19This HUGE dresser is where the majority of my crafting supplies are stored.  This was a $70 score, and it’s 6ft. long.  It’s awesome.  It has two hidden drawers inside and they are perfect for my paint stash, or should I say 1/8th of my stash.  And yes I really do keep it color organized, it makes me so happy!

I hope you enjoyed your tour.  I know it’s not an over the top fancy shmancy craft room, but it’s all mine and I love everything about it for now.  Especially when it’s clean, cause it almost never looks as clean as it does in these pics!  Ha!  Be sure to check out all the other Craft Room Tours over at The Country Chic Cottage!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE your craft room!! The colors are absolutely perfect, and such a professional and clean look!! There are so many parts I love, but I think my favorites are the blue jars and the metal hamper to store your wrapping paper. Where is the hamper from, and are the jars antique? Now I want to try to add both of those looks to my craft room!!

      Thanks Susan! Those are some of my favorite things too! 🙂 The blue glass ball jars are vintage, I luck out every once in a while and find them at Goodwill for a buck or two. A couple are from my mom when she’s traveled. The laundry basket is actually from Ross believe it or not. A few months ago they had them in three sizes and I snatched all three sizes because these styles are so hard to find on the cheap, I think it was only $11. Yay. The Pottery Barn version is $100.

    I love the black and white, and those blue jars add a little pop of color! It all looks very clean and polished–nice 🙂

    What an amazing transformation. I use the “formal” living room as my office/craft room too. Yours is really lovely and I would be proud if that were the first room that people would see in my house. Great job.

      Oh thank you Carmody! So sweet of you. I do love this room, and was a little unsure of putting it out for everyone to see since some people have such elaborate craft rooms, but this style is me and I love it. I’ve gotten such nice responses to it too, so I’m even more in love with it now that others love it too. 😉
