Craft Space Makeover

Since we moved into our house about three years ago, my craft supplies have been scattered throughout the house. Some things were in the attic, the guest bedroom closet, and the basement. At one point I had things pretty well organized (for me, anyways) in the guest bedroom closet and desk, but after my youngest son’s arrival we moved the furniture around the rooms and ended up with the desk in our bedroom. That works for us in terms of using the printer, keeping records, and paying bills, but now I need a space to get my craft on. As I have been using my sewing machine in the basement, I’ve realized that it is an ideal, though not attractive, space for my purposes. It does not get too hot in summer or too cold in winter. The work bench that was there when we bought the house has good lighting, some storage, and is a good height. The kicker is that my husband built a wrapping station on the wall behind the workspace as a Christmas present! He also got me a new stool! This has inspired me not only to begin this blog about the various crafting and cooking projects I attempt, but also to give the rest of the space a makeover. I plan to begin by clearing EVERYTHING out, then clean the bench and shelves, paint, and finally reorganize my materials. Now for your viewing pleasure, the requisite before pictures!

Check back in a few days for the reveal!
