Craft Room - IL House Tour

The last room on my IL 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 lov’in 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?

Spacious built in storage cabinets in craft room.

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 optimum functionality for my crafting needs, but I’d like to imagine that it did!

That’s it.

That is the end of my IL house 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!

Fabulous!!! I love this room.

I'm having some serious, serious envy here. Now I love the rest of your house. So comfy and inviting. But this room is amazing. I love that it is connected to the kids space but is YOUR space. All the choices, all the storage, all the counter spaces, and all the seating options. Wow!!!!! And I love the cream cablinets with the wood floor. Looks so clean and meticulous- two other things that speak to my heart. Great job! So excited to see the new house when you get it and see what it becomes.

would break my heart to leave this home

That is SO sad! Such a gorgeous room, and you won't get the advantage of it. Put your house ad in the local quilting guild newsletter, and it will be sold in a heartbeat!
