I love to see pictures of other peoples art-rooms, scrap-rooms and studios! Some are so pretty I’d hate to work in there and make a mess! well, my room isn’t exactly lovely but it is my favorite room in the house even though it isn’t really a room. I took over a quarter of our unfinished (yet dry) basement to make a space to create, maybe you can too!

I use crop in style cubes (a splurge) and recycled furnature to block off my part of the basement.

I have my die cut machines and dies, glass mat and knives as well as a pasta machine and toster oven for polymer clay. Most of my paint brushes live here too.

I call this area "The Cockpit" I have all of my inks, stamps, pens, markers and adhesive at arms reach. What a mess!

Here is a posterboard rack I got for $10 when a rite aid went out of business, my painting supplies, file cabinet and yarn storage.

my happy plaid table! It was a grungy brown table given to me that I painted.

I also put two hollow luan doors over our pool table for extra room for framing and to house more crafters on craft night.

There you have it my craft room, it’s not the prettiest but it’s mine! I love that I can leave a mess out and it won’t be disturbed until I get back to it. I think we waste more time setting up and putting away our supplies sometimes, have a place you can “leave it out” saves so much time. Tomorrow I show you some of my cheap and easy storage for craft supplies. Until then thanks for dropping by and happy crafting!
