The last room on my house tour is the Craft Room!This space was SO much fun to design and build! It was MY space. No one else’s wants, needs, input or concerns to consider. Just whatever my craft lovin’ heart desired (and I could bring to fruition!)
I planned out the height of each drawer specifically for certain tools and gadgets.
I imagined where I would want to stand to cut fabric and how to get in lots of “stations” in case I wanted to host a craft night!
Where I would sit while scrapbooking? Facing the TV with Woodsmith Shop playing in the background, of course! Made sure I had outlets in all the right places for times I’d need a glue or embossing gun?
I had to create a large enough work surface for my “sewing station” to have the sewing machine and the serger both out at the same time and added under cabinet lighting for good measure!
Last but not least, I’d need a great big closet to create even more storage for whatever my little heart might ever decide I just couldn’t live without…and could talk myself into purchasing.
And that is my Craft Room.
I haven’t actually used it so I don’t know if all my planning translated into optimun functionality for my crafting needs, but I’d like to imagine that it did!

That’s it.
That is the end of myhouse tour.
I have loved and hated parts of making this ugly duckling the swan it always wanted to be. Now I’m done.
Maybe a little too soon.
I didn’t get to finish everything, but the hubby decided that he wanted this job in Tennessee so I’m willing to move on to my next adventure.
Now all I can do is sit back, wait for a decent offer, and maybe — just maybe, get a little use out of some of these undiscovered rooms!

Amazing!! That is like a dream craft room! Love!
Don't need the rest of the house. I could just live in that room.
Oh.My.JEALOUSNESSThat room is UNREAL! That is my DREAM craft room. Whoever you sell that house to is so LUCKY!
Seriously? I think I need to move in with you! Love that room…one day a girl can dream right?
its just… perfect. dude. kudos to YOU.
OMG!!!!! I want to be alone in this room with a glue gun !!!!!!! It is my every wish come true…I guess I did not specify where I wanted the wish to go…ha ha ha.I will have to go to confession for sure because I sure am “coveting” big time!
I absolutely love this room! Can you tell me the dimensions of the room? I want to re-do my sewing room with a center island but I am afraid I don’t have enough room. I can’t believe the buyers didn’t want the island!!
I enjoy your blog!!
Wow, this is so inspiring and empowering! If you can do this, then there are many of us who no longer have any excuses! Thanks for laying the foundation and sharing your genius.

Thank you for your comment! I am so happy to hear some feedback. Sometimes, I don’t add ketchup at all. Then, it gives me a new taste which is also good.. as sweet and sour could also come from Tomatoes itself.
I guess I missed this when you originally posted it. You amaze me, you build, design, paint, sew, serge, scrapbook… what don’t you do? Do you cook? I need a friend like you, in my head I think I can take on all these big projects but afraid to try them.
