Embarassing Office/Craftroom

Okay...I must share my room before I started the big organize-cleanup.   It became a room for dumping.  (fade in music from jaws)













Some old thrift store find curtains.




 Hallway gone.  Now it is open, thus creating a more efficient work space!







With a trip to Ikea,  a little more figuring, organizing, label making, box searching, lamp hanging, cord routing, purging,  floor sweeping-mopping,
more organizing, purging, crying, and more purging, ......   May I present
My Office/Craft Room Studio!




I really need to shorten that curtain!  


OK....So I still have a bit of purging to do.  But at least I can find things.
One day I will paint all the shelves that I built too. 


My sister had an awesome idea.
She said to move my printer in the closet
and it would free up desk space.
It did.
Brilliant!






 I now have room on the desk to work from both sides.  I can push my sewing
machine out of the way for more work space.
 LOVE IT!!

 My clearance glitzy girly light from Ikea.  $4.99


My awesome label maker, doing a great job.








I still have a few things I would like to do but I am so much happier working in my new craft room  STUDIO!!
Cheers!

  1. This is why I'm not a crafter. I would never be able to dig out of my house, my garage is bad enough. :)

  3. I am so jealous! My craft room (aka Bigfoot's old room) is just a day away from Hoarders too!! Love labeling things too! I so wish we had an IKEA near us. The closest to me is in New Jersey I think... :-( Wanna run back to the store for me & grab one of those lights? I think I'm in love.... Beautiful job!

  8. I love the white theme! The curtain is also a great idea to cover up boxes and make the room more cozy.

  14. I’m sorry it took me so long to get to your « Impossibility Challenge » post – this thing called “work” got in the way! But I’m here now and it’s great to read about your Craft Room makeover- that was a huge job but you did a really great job. It looks like you have a great inspirational space now! I'm very envious!!
    Congratulations on making your impossibility possible!

  15. Your craft room is fabulous - you must be crafting up a storm in there! Don't be embarrassed of those before pics (have you seen my basement?!) - with an after like that, that's all that matters! Thanks for linking this up to our challenge too. Following in GFC and the new Linky Follower too

  17. Absolutely love your Studio!!! I am trying to set up my craft/painting studio myself, and it will be in my basement as well, so I may be stealing (oops) borrowing some of your ideas! :D Thanks so much for sharing! Looking forward to seeing more of your posts!! Thanks again!

  18. Oh I can totally relate. We just recently cleaned up the basement.. well, almost finished... and we took "before" pictures. We hated documenting that we really were hoarders, but then we thought "hey, maybe we could send these photos in and THEY will come clean up for us!" Brilliant idea, but I needed to get it done quicker for an appraisal. Maybe one day I'll post them and then you'll feel awesome. I still need to get organized though. If only someone would buy me a label maker, I'm sure I could do it... :)

  19. Wow, I was blown away with the transformation. It is very pretty. I wish I can have a crafts room for myself. unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of space. Terrific Job! K! I just love before and after.
