When we finished the basement five years ago, we planned for a craft room. I have two daughters and they were always into something crafty. Over the last 3 years, the room saw a lot of activity when we were scrapbooking like crazy for high school graduations. We are such messy scrap-bookers! In time, the room started becoming a “dump” for just about everything. I had enough – I wanted my craft room back!
It took an entire weekend to clean it all up and get organized. I asked hubby to put up a couple shelves above the crafting desk area for small items like jars and supplies. These shelves were made of 2 x 8’s and cost less than $10. I also found a small peg board in the clearance bin at Home Depot and snagged it for .79 cents - best find of the day!
It’s so nice to have an organized crafting area! I love my little room…..

We tried to be “forward thinkers” and made “built-ins” for the craft room
