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!
Beautiful room!
wow…this is stunning! I'm SOOO jealous. Can't wait to see what kinds of creations you crank out of this room!www.northerncottage.blogspot.com
What an amazing space!!! Thank you so much for sharing the link to the paint color! For some reason I just saw you wrote this morning 🙂 We ended up doing our Chicago trip, Watercolor and Disney before my husband left. I would love to know what your favorite hotel in Chicago is! Sorry for posting this all on here but I didn't know what else to do.
Come do my wee small home!!!!Tennessee is not that far from me here in Virginia!;-)Love this room and your kitchen!You do such awesome work! Hope you find another wonderful diamond in the rough with this move.Lola
Ugh, that room is amazing! Sure beats my one wall-three piece furniture-shared with my bedroom space!! I looove the island, the colour is so pretty.
