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?
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!
Sandra wait – this isn't the last room, I need to see your garage, perhaps the most important room of all because that's where the magic happens! Pretty please show us your workshop, mine is currently all over the basement floor so I'm dying to see how you're set up. PS – I'm ready with my posts for tomorrow, can't wait to see all the other builds.
Oh girl…I swear to you that I got a little teary eyed thinking of all the love and attention you put into all your projects and now you have to leave them. If I were moving to your town, I would SO buy your house! Then again, I like to build with wood and you've already done everything! You seriously should take a day and just craft till your hands hurt..you know, just to break it in!(((hugs))) to you!missy
I'm in love. Completely in awe that you built all that – will you teach me? Just built my first Ana White project and now have the building bug! I totally agree with someone above; let's put you on TV!
If this house isn't sold yet I don't know what's wrong with people….you've done such an amazing job turning this place around. I am dying to know how your place in Tennessee is going to turn out. You are one talented lady!!
Hey Sandra–I was thrilled when I saw your picture on Layla's blog and recognized you! I have been devouring your blog ever since. And I have been patiently waiting for this room on your house tour. I LOVE it, and find it sad that you don't get to use it after all that work! You are giving me lots of ideas. I can't wait to see what you do with the next house. -Jenni
