on this little blog, to share & encourage…so here we go!
this room was originally a formal living room used formally by the previous owners of the house 🙂
we’re not really a formal family so it was mainly the room that held the tools & paint
(or misc. craft projects:) while we renovated the rest of the house…
hubby made this huge 8’x4′ island from scratch 🙂 with my dad…
i wanted to have a place to lay out yardage (and a place to have craft night with the girls ♥)
it also makes for a lot of storage underneath…
big baskets with yarn, batting, and projects in the works…
my idea for the island is to write out some sections from Prov.31 over the entire top
these shelves are the plain white cheapies from Target, that we got super cheapie during back to school/college time…the crown molding (top and in between each shelf to hide the seams) & arches were added then painted all gray
just a few close-ups of supplies ♥
old mason jars i found at a rummage sale in an old church last summer…
i ♥ rummage sales in old churches
this little birdcage houses vintage pillowcases ♥
yellow spray paint + lace trim + a little birdie = cuteness ♥
…an old nails & screws organizer sorts embroidery floss…
simple boxes covered in brown paper
strips of fabric ruffled on my sewing machine got hot glued on each bin…
these are all still in need of labels so i remember what’s where …
my stash ♥ i can’t wait to dive into these and make stuff 🙂
(that cute little printable banner is from ♥here)
…this side of the room is where i sew 🙂 hubby built the shelves and table…
the larger bins on top hold patterns, notions and some other things…
these too should be labeled, or maybe numbered?
table skirt was made from a shower curtain from TJ Maxx
a cornice over the window is in the same print
& fabric measuring tape on the edge (then covered with lotsa coats of polyurethane)
thread storage from an old typesetting box
i could do a whole separate post for all the inspiration!
if you scoot over to my pinterest boards, you’ll see the “studio” board
with most of the ideas i applied in my space, i bet you can pick out a bunch of ’em 🙂
so my to do list for this room still has a few things on it
1. stencil & finish table top
2. label & number bins
3. put some cute stuff on the light fixtures
4. make covers for sewing machine & serger
…but it’s all fun stuff!
i’m also dreaming about what to put in my little etsy shop…
i want to fill it to the brim with lots of Sugar n’ Spice ♥
you can see how empty is it by clicking on the the link in the sidebar 😦
i have a ton of ideas rolling around in my head! just want to choose the best ones…
that’s my little world of crafting goodness ♥
hope you like it! come back and make stuff with me 🙂
