I have been dreaming about a room with all of my hobbies in it. Before I start, I listed all the must haves. I trimmed some down because the room is only so big. 🙂 Below, I am sharing the plans/dreams for my craft room. It’s exciting on one hand and dreading the hard work on the other. I have rolled up my sleeves and ready to go.

As of today here is what the room looks like.
The lighting from the window changes the hues of the room.
I decided on the color scheme for the room. I am staying with blues and green.
To add everything in such a small room and keep it nice and tidy I decided to make stations per wall. Here are my plans for the room.
SUPPLY STATION
The closet will serve for this station. My hope for the closet is keeping it functional with plenty of storage. To help keep things in order and free from the eye I placed some upcycled drawer organizers. You can see the tutorial of how I painted the bins here UPCYCLED STORAGE ORGANIZER.
The window wall will have two stations. I plan on adding sheers for the window treatment. This will let light shine through since this is the only source of nature lighting.
CAMERA STATION
With blogging I have a couple things that I need to store. Tripod, selfie stick and my Canon Rebel and accessories. Before I kept them all in the camera bag and other closets I am happy that I will have a space to store it all in the same area.
WRAPPING STATION
Another station that I would love to have would be somewhere I can store all of my wrapping paper, ribbons and gift bags. I would really love this station during the Christmas season.
PAINT STATION
This is a must in the room. Y’all know my affair with paint! 🙂 I had it all scattered throughout our home, laundry room, garage and craft closet. I am really excited about the plans I have for this room. The whole wall will be shelving to store my paint.
CRICUT STATION
I want a space where I can go to my printer or cricut without having to take it out of the closet, plug it in and set it up. I love the thought of just going to the area to start my task.
SEWING STATION
A sewing station would be nice. I don’t sew a lot of the time because I have to take the sewing machine out of the closet and bring it into the kitchen. Having a dedicated space for the sewing machine, scissors and thread right there for me to work on would be so much easier.
Last station and most important one!
WORK STATION
Having a destination space where I can sit and work on my DIYs or crafts is a must for my space. I will place the table in the center of the room. It will be a DIY desk that has a large work surface area.
The first thing I need to do before I can start working on each station is paint the walls white. White walls will brighten up the work area and make it look larger. I also plan to change the light bulbs to LED white bright lights. You know I will share each station on how I created the space. 🙂

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
I cannot wait to see what you do in this room! It’s going to be amazing! I love all of your inspiration and how you laid it all out.
I am so excited too Michelle. This is such a long time coming. Thank you!
This is going to look so amazing. I am so excited for you! Can’t wait to see how it all turns out.
I am so excited to get the room all finished. It took awhile to figure out what all I wanted/needed in the room, once I got that all lined up now comes painting which is a long process since I am using things I have or that has been given to me. Thanks Jodi for stopping by!
I can’t wait to see the end result of this space! I love your plans. It’s going to be an awesome room!
I am so excited on getting started. The first part is painting. I would love to add cabinets and countertops to the room but I have to keep it simple to be able to change it back to a bedroom one day.
Terrie, you have a great plan. Storage is key. Having your paints at your fingertips is great. I love having access to mine easily.
You know I will be watching your take shape. Everything you have in your plans sounds great!
Looking forward to seeing more.
Cindy
Thanks Cindy. Me having a room for my crafting will be so more convenient. I can’t wait until it is finished.
How did you know? You are building my dream craft/creative room! ha! This will be fabulous and organized when it is completed. Even having a place to put the sewing machine without having to drag it out and move something else to have a place to set it down will be a huge plus.
Donna it has only taken me 20 something years to give up a guest bedroom and make it into a craft room. I finally am having a room I can enjoy my hobby.
I can’t wait to start digging into the design part. First is the painting, walls and furniture. I wish I could have cabinetry along the walls but we don’t plan to stay in our home long so the thought of putting it in the room and then ripping it out when we try to sell our home is pretty silly, so I will just make the station with furniture.
Hope you have a great day!
Oh my goodness, Terrie! You’ve come up with some wonderful inspiration for your craft room and I can’t wait to see how it all turns out!
I can’t wait Christine. This room has been a long time want, I just didn’t want to give up one of our guest rooms. It doesn’t get used but only a small amount now so it was silly of me to not do it. I can’t wait to start but first painting.
This is going to be amazing!! Such great plans! And, love the color scheme that you’re going to do!! It’s going to be amazing!

I think so too Emily. Hope it turns out exactly as planned but you know things change. I will enjoy the room regardless. Thanks for stopping by!
