Craft Room

In April I started a craft room remodel. I had just finished building the first piece and hung it on the wall when we found out that we are going to have a baby.  Since then the remodel has slowed way down, partially because the craft room will be turned into the nursery but mostly because I can no longer stand the fumes from finishing the projects. Jason has slowly been finishing up the remaining pieces that we had started when he finds the time.  The new pieces will  now be sitting in storage until I move my craft room into my new space but I wanted to show the new items that my husband has been working on.

This is the only piece that will be hung. I had to purge some of the thread collection that I inherited from my grandma but many of those where either really old or repeated colors. I designed the shelf to fit the narrower spools that are popular now so there will eventually be more space between the individual spools



Below each spool is a nail to hold the matching bobbin and I plan to eventually have a matching bobbin for each spool because I hate wasting undwinding bobbins to switch colors. Here is where I got the idea.



This is a shelf that will be permanetly screwed to the wall so it will not be hung until after the move. The shelf is tall enough to sit spools of ribbon on end inside of it. I plan to sit jars of buttons on the top of it and hang my brads and other scrapbooking embelishments off the bottom using magnets attached to a metal plate that is hidden behind the larger trim piece on the bottom. Jason made two of these.



This is my future craft space. Jason was kind enough to give me the closet side of the office which will be great for storage. Unfortionatly I currently have an entire room and closet so some of my supplies will have to go to the basement. I plan on removing the sliding closet doors and using the inside as part of my space after repainting it.

I'm looking forward to the new chapter in our lives but am going to miss my private craft space. I need to get busy because I only have a few months left before I have to move and actually keep my craft space halfway clean. Check back in a few months for the new craft space and nursery reveal.
