Our Craft Room

Welcome to our sweet and simple Craft Room.
Enjoy the tour!
(This room gives us fits trying to photograph.)


Don't you just love this relaxing corner?
The slipcovered chair is from IKEA.


The file cabinet stores a variety of sewing, craft, and gift wrap accessories.
The table skirt hides the junk stored under the repurposed table.


Fabric scraps make great ties to add color to the $3.29 valance.
Yep, big spenders in this house :)


 The plain lampshade needed a touch of whimsy.
The red flowers are Pinterest inspired.


The flowers are easy to make from leftover fabric.
We love the color and fun they add to the lamp.


 The frame for this magnet board was once a cabinet door.
Steve gave the frame some love by sanding, painting and adding  a piece of steel.


 The cloth flowers are super easy to make into magnets.
Just "tidy" the backs of the flowers with fabric and glue on a magnets.


This St. Vinney's wicker shelf came to life after spray painting.
It's the perfect size to hold frequently used items.


 Every craft room needs magazines for inspiration.
What's better than spending time lounging and dreaming?


And last, Steve sanded and painted a St. Vinney's shelf using leftover paint.
The used Mason jars clean easily and look adorable with fun Walmart lids.


Thanks for sharing our Craft Room.
It's sweet, simple, and we love it.

  9. I've seen so many cute and fun craft rooms lately! I have been inspired to do a room we don't really use, except to put stuff we don't know what to do with, and make a craft room of my own. I really like that skirt around your table. Great chair also! Cute, cute, cute!

  10. It looks wonderful! Love the red you brought in. What a great chair! I just printed out the directions to Ikea ~ I have got to make a trip there. What line was it? I already have their Ektorp, which is great. That little shelf unit at the end of your post is exactly what I need to finish up in my craft/sewing room! I'm hoping to find one at the Salvation Army. They have a lot more furniture to choose from than the Goodwill here.

  11. Well, well there it is. All cute and sweet and cozy. Could not wait to see it and it was worth the wait. Now be sure and show us what it looks like when you are working on a project in there:)

  12. It's all so pretty Marla. I absolutely adore the skirted table, balloon shade and the plates on the wall. Fantastic room!

  13. I agree with everyone, how cute and organized. I love the red accent through out the room. Here is my problem, I can't seem to keep my craft room looking like that. In just one day it can turn into disaster! Then the I'll get to it tomorrow and then the next project makes more of a mess. Oh where, Oh where is my organization skills! But you have fun creating in that adorable room!

  28. I love it and it was so very much worth the wait! I love the cozy little chair and the table with the skirt. That sets the stage for the whole room. I'm pretty sure my favorite things in the room are the little red flowers on the lamp and the repurposed magnet board, but I really just loved it all. I would want a room like that. Steve... I do believe you outdid yourself with this one. When can you get here?

  37. Marla and Steve,

    Your craft room is so pretty! I love the red, black and white together. I seriously need to "fix" my office area. Once I retire (3/30), I plan to turn an area in our basement into a craft area. It will take quite a bit of work, but I can't wait to get started. You two did a fabulous job!!!

  38. I’m sorry I’ve not visited your Impossibility Challenge post before now – this working lark does get in the way of real life !!!
    I'm seriously jealous of all these wonderful craft rooms that people have - mine is so disorganised. You have made yours look beautiful, inspirational AND practical...good job!
    Congratulations on making your impossibility possible!
