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!
Would it be okay with you if I copied this room – right down to the color of the paint on the island and the color of the pendant lights? 🙂 I agree with Andrea, though, it must have a locking door. Too many little hands in this house! Just B U T Full! And I am sorry not to have anything to post for tomorrow – it is still too cold here to kick the vehicles out of the garage and reclaim my "workshop" (half the garage) but soon! Oh, Spring, I can almost smell you and you smell like sawdust!!
I often think myself to sleep with visions of craft room designs dancing in my head.Yours is absolute perfection. Although, mine would be some funky color I'm sure (because I have a hard enough time keeping sane colors in my LIVING room…). And it would have a locking door, so I wouldn't have to worry about my kids messing it up.
That is the best room of your home;)Love your whole house!Looks so amazing!Lovely greetings…http://pudel-design.blogspot.com/
