My Craft Room isย evidence that good things comes to those that wait…
{ …I waitedย for 36 years ๐ }
The fact that I am sharing it with you { thousands of people I have never met }
ย isย evidence that dreams come true.
ย So today I am sharingย one of myย dreams, my little “good thing”, my Craft Room…
ย
Please allow me to give you a tour.
Follow me…
ย
ย
Keep coming… We are almost there.
One of my favorite things in this room is the window and the great source of natural light.
Here we are…
ย
As I was saying I didn’t want to take away the light so I dressed up the window
with a super easy no sew window treatment.
These fabrics make me happy and light up the space even more.

ย
From this corner you get to see more clearly what I call my design area.
I decided to add a pin board not just as a placeย to collect ideas but to create balance
ย and bring a bit of the opposite polka dot wall to this sideย of the room.
ย
ย
I love this Cork Board… So fun!

ย
It isย a perfect place to imagine and collect ideas for my feature projects.

{ You can see the full TUTORIAL for the Polka Dot Cork Board HERE }
ย
In your way out you’ll find two other small walls.
{ Don’t leave though there is a lot more to see }
ย
Here is the one with the small bookcase.
ย
And here is the one with my favorite piece of furniture…

ย
The Polka Dot Walls inspired the entire design behindย my Craftย Room.
I was able to make such perfect dots with the helpย of this fabulous stencil by

ย
This dresser is my favorite piece for two main reasons.
One the shape is so darn cute andย the colors make me happy…
Don’t you love the wall?


ย
ย The second reason is because it has a lot of room for storage
which hopefully helps me accomplish my number one resolution for this new year:
To be ORGANIZED!
{ I was a mess untilย Wednesday ๐ }
ย

ย
ย
ORGANIZATION
ย

ย
The Small Dresser
My main focus while working on this room was first to make it inviting and a kid friendly space.
{ I love when my kids help meย make new things }
The second one was to have a place where I could be inspired to create and really get organized.
Most of my material are inside of the dresser.
Each of the drawers have specific materials inside: ribbons, stamps, embelishments…
Take a look !
ย

ย
The Sewing Area
You may remember this peg board that I made for my jewelry a couple of months ago.
{ You can find the tutorial HERE }
…Well I am going to have to make another one soon becauseย now it is part of my Craft Room
ย and sewing area.
ย
ย This is how it looks now…
ย
In this same area I have this little stand holding my Washi Tapes.
Love the colors!
ย
…and a woodenย crate that holds allย of myย fabrics.
ย
ย
The Bookcases
I have a total of two bookcases in my Craft Room.
The tallest one is against my second Polka Dot Wall.
As you can see in the picture I used a bunch of plastic bins to hold my kid’s school and craft supplies.
ย
One of my favorite things in this bookcase is the little display of glitter.
Are you noticing that most of the accesories in the room are storage?
ย
The smaller bookcase is in the opposite corner of the room holds mamรก’s craft supplies and tools.ย ๐
ย
Also there isย Lola { my Mod Podge Suitcase. Click HERE for the TUTORIAL }
Inside there are a bunch of keepsakes and journals.
My kids love to come visit and look through my little treasures.
ย
Jars.
I used jars to store the rest of my craft supplies. Easy to grab and see inside.
ย
ย
The Accesories
I really didn’t have to do much thanks to the polka dot walls.
The rest of the “accesories” are pretty much “must have” items.
ย
My Lamp
ย
My Fancy ย Pencil Holder :ย A cup!
ย
ย
My Pin Cushion…
ย
My Dry Erase Board: A mirror.
ย
A clock…
ย
My Calendar.
ย
And aย few other things that I like…
{ Click here to see the Wood Dice Tutorial }
ย
..and I love.
ย
So there you have it!
First Iย started with a wall…
ย
andย I finished with a room….
ย
Now… Where did all my fabulous paint go?
Well… ย lucky me!
There is a closet in this room.
Ha! Stay tuned!
ย
Dream BIG!

This is an incredible space – just the right balance of organized and busy with the promise of new projects. Enjoy – you obviously deserve it!
I love it, D! I was secretly hoping for DecoArt shot– but it was too pretty for me to even worry about that! So open & airy!
Mallie… my love just wait.
My paint closet { part of the craft room } is coming up and it is all yours. ๐
You’ll see!
I just added a little something for you ๐
Check out the end of the post!
Have a great weekend!
After I saw one wall I couldn’t WAIT for the final product! It turned out so adorable! I love how the bright colors add a cheary feel to the room. I don’t think it could have turned out any better ๐
FABULOUS job Desirรฉe! So clean and fresh. LOVE it!!
Thank you Erin!
Have a great weekend!
You are such an inspiration and so many great ideas! With moving I don’t have a craftroom any more and trying to be creative with what we have…you gave me so many wonderful ideas!! Love it ๐
Desiree – definitely worth the wait! I love the organization and fun factor! The suitcase is a great idea – I am going to take my boxed up “stuff” and create my own – my girls will love that. I hope you will link up to our Imagine the Impossibilities Challenge on Jan 31.

I’ll be there… don’t let me forget.
I’m in love and I need to start dreaming big! thanks for all the beauty, have a great day!

Wowzer! I have a whole craft house and after seeing urs I have the urge to restyle. Only problem…it would take only ONEproject to totally destroy any attempt at organization. Still…pink, green and black? I am a little tired of them. Yours is oh so Fab!
I absolutely adore your space, especially the colors! I just changed up my little craft nook, and don’t ever want to leave it now! I have an old suitcase just like the one you modge podged, and I cannot wait to fix it up now!

Holy Crow! That was totally worth the wait. My space is in the works. I hope to get it done by the end of February. It is such a hassle to find all of my goodies to play with and I am buying repeats when I can’t lay my hands on something.
