craft room repair {before}










I'm getting there - it's almost complete - I can see the end is near.

My craft room has been getting a major overhaul of late. I literally emptied out all the contents...sorted, stashed, chucked, shrieked "Oh my goodness" when I found five packs of velcro all in various parts of the room.  There was fabric everywhere, all in a mess, bags of "I'll get to that project one day" in all corners and just general disarray of every sort.  I wonder how I managed any creativity in such a disaster zone. But slowly and surely this space is being transformed.  It's only small.  1.7 metres by 2 metres.  With a window and a cupboard there's not much room to swing a cat....when I first dedicated this room as a craft room we rather haphazardly put in a bit of a built in desk.  It's not perfect but it sure does the job as I can sit my sewing machine along side my overlocker....no packing up one to get out the other.

So.... Organisation has followed, alongside some decorating, prettying and shooshing up.

Oh it's been fun.  I even painted.  the cupboard door.  yellow.  Just because.

So before I reveal the new look craft room take a look at how it looked before.  Pretty miserable right.

Do you love a good spruce up?
What's your craft area/room/cupboard/nook like?
What is your best craft room organisation tip??

  1. Eeek! Such a big job, Bren. Bet you're glad you did it, though? Having these sorts of clear outs hanging over me with no time to do them is worse than the actual doing by far... Can't wait for the Big Reveal! x
