Ok, Ok I have tortured you enough!
I am going to start out by showing you the finished product! Then I will take you inside the drawers and share my storage solutions! Most of the furniture was FREE in this room, so there will be some super fun transformations coming up on JIAD!
Here is the big reveal…
Welcome to our Craft / Playroom!
This is where I spend most of my day:
And if I am not there, then I am most likely here:
Pairing fabrics, cutting away, coming up with new products for you!
(Isn’t that old ice cream churn turned trash can neat?!? I found it on the side of the road!)
Here is a look of the craft/playroom when walking in from the dinning room!
Crayon Rolls, fabric scraps and Bloomin’ items are displayed on the shelf in the corner.
Yes, I found it on the side of the road.
You can see that transformation here!
This is what I see when I look behind me while I am sewing.
My cutting table in the corner was given to me by my mother in law a long time ago. It was used as a kitchen island in our old house and now serves as the perfect cutting table! The shelves hold tons of fabrics that are ready to be used! We love our little Sitting Stools! And there is my spray painted sofa – you can see that transformation here!
This is what you see when you walk into the playroom from the foyer:
The top of the filing cabinet turned out to be one of my favorite spots!
I love to display my favorite fabrics because they inspire me!
…And so do happy quotes too!
There it is!
Our craft/playroom!
In the next few days, I will let you take a peek inside the drawers (we all love to snoop!)!
And share some of my storage ideas too!
Not too shaby for an room that pretty much cost NOTHING!
So jealous right now. I love your room and your stash of fabrics.
This is absolute perfection!! I love all the colors and patterns
Wow, I love all the fabric on display and how you've used all the space so well. It's good to see a multi purpose craft room. (mines in the kitchen!)
Can't wait to see in the drawers
and all your storage. You must have done it well if you run a shop out of there too! Very space efficient!
LOVE,LOVE,LOVE!!!! Looks fabulous!!
So jealous! I love it!

I love your craft room — can I come over and craft with you?! I especially ike your tall cabinet re-do. I think I'm going to start prowling around my neighborhood….. Now a follower, too.
Oh wow, this is amazing! Love it!
What an awesome room! Love the colors, lighting, and endless inspiration!
Great job.
PS- Aren't "free things" along the side of the road the best!!!!!!
It's gorgeous and perfect! Love the big window, bright colors, organization, shabby yet bright appeal… It's so wonderful! And the greatest thing? Your kiddos can play in the same room you are working in! Does that help or detour you from getting things done?
LOVE this reveal. Cant wait to snoop thru your drawers
LOVE it! And those stools you made over still make me swoon!
