Craft Room Makeover

 SO I have been a crafter for a LONG time!  and have moved from every supply I owned fitting into a bag to a basement craft room to an closet craft room to a craft room once my oldest moved out.  Once she moved out permanently (she got married).. I didn't look back and just moved my supplies in without changing much- not the carpet (a mauve-y pink), not the wall color (a bold bright lime green), not the curtains .   And because I have been crafting for a long while I needed to purge!   So here are some of my before pictures.   OH yea did I mentioned it is a converted attic so I have slanted walls!  


THE BEFORE 




Want my area lacked was -
  • LIGHT.. the room color sucked up the lighting, my desk storage blocked the window. 
  • SPACE...even though I had 2 tables i felt like I was crafting in a 12x12 space! 
  • STORAGE ... I know I Had too much goodness!  but also my impish puppy was constantly pulling out things from the baskets and I spent more time chasing him that crafting! 

So for my redo I made a wish list which helped m prioritize want I wanted. 

  • LIGHT
  • FULL SPACE DESK with minimal on desk Storage - maybe even with enough room for a friend! 
  • Off the Floor - I really wanted to not have things stacked on the floor
  • A dedicated die cutting area
  • NO LIME GREEN
So here is some of the in progress pictures
 I cleared everything I could out and starting rearranging the furniture..   I had enough space for 3 additional 6 cube storage units! 


Stay Tuned Tomorrow for the color!
