I’m so excited to be in the new year and all the possibilities! First, my wonderful hubby said I could redo my craft room and make it more user friendly. How wonderful is he!?!? He even went as far as to say we could spend a few hundred bucks on the space. What?!? Well, after the initial euphoria, I decided to use what we had and go from there. So, ladies and gents…here it is (or at least the beginning) my craft room makeover on a budget!
Today (and a couple hours yesterday) was all about sorting through the junk I could see. And rearranging. Here are some before and afters:
Before starting…ugh
Before
Last Before pic…I. Can’t. UGH.
As you can see, it was a mess. And the hubs wondered why I didn’t actually craft in the craft room…
But I had some good pieces to work with. A sturdy table for sewing. Great shelf units that I customized (think spray paint and fabric). And some other storage containers. And like I said, I started by going through the junk I could see. I threw away some things. I moved our box of wedding stuff to the office to be stored in the closet. I also moved all my stationary to the office and other random things like phone chargers, camera cords, etc.
I then decided how I wanted the room to function. I moved my sewing table to the northwest corner, moved my shelving units to the north wall and added a folding table we had in the garage. So far nothing spent. Except some calories. And I can spend a lot of those! So, here’s where we are now:
I know, I know. There’s so much more to be done. But I have plans!
Do you see all the windows?!? It’s wonderful!
It’s been great being able to start going through things and create a space I actually want to be in.
Stay tuned for more updates and how I’m saving money by using things I already have! What a concept, right?
