The Unfinished Craft Room
Back in May, we hired contractors to do our entire basement and it is finished! Well, except for the decorating 🙂
Quite a few of you have been begging to see my new craft studio. I was going to wait until I was finished making it pretty, but what the heck…. why not show you some progress photos, right??
So, here you go!
Still lots left to do, but here is what it looked like this morning.
View into the room.
The right side.
View from the playroom
(you can see The Market, right?)
I love that I can work while the kids play. There is no door to my room (done on purpose), but they know they aren’t allowed in unless one of their limbs has fallen off.
I have divided up my room into sections.
This is where I store all of the ready to buy items I used to sell in my etsy shop. I am almost out, woot! I am still not sure what I plan to do about custom orders, now that I am working on creating patterns…. we shall see!
This is where I sew. That wall art behind my machines will be hung (more about that art another day:). There will also be some cute peg board hung on the other wall to store all of the threads and buckets of junk.
Neatly folded fabrics make me happy.
This hutch, remember it?
This is the left side of the room.
Yes, that is a large dollhouse I built years ago in college. It will be put into our storage room, but for now, the kids love to ask me if they can play with it.
There is also my cutting table and mats and ironing board.
This is the view out of my room into the play area.
I am feeling brave today.
Closet 1 houses fabric scraps, fleece, and knits.
I need to destash…. badly.
This is also where I keep all the patterns I have drafted.
Closet 2 is a mish mash of photography equipment like backdrops and stands and then extra threads/notions/glue/etc.
Oh, and a broom for right before I take photos.
The rest of the basement includes a playroom, a family room/tv area, a storage room/exercise area, and a full bathroom!
Can’t wait to show you guys the rest and I will update when my craft room is finally finished.
