Materials and the sequence of the job sit together on this page.
Heather at Straight Stitches has done some great straightening up in her craft room.
Well she’s done. FIN.ALL.Y!
It was lots of work, but I want to thank Stephen for helping me out with the room and with watching the kids. I am so happy that I have the space cleaned up, personalized and organized. I can now start sewing up all those pillow slipcovers I keep talking about selling. I’ve gotten 2 done….I think I need more than that.
The stripes on the wall are from Oooops paint from Lowe’s and the shelves are not the sturdiest, but they’ll do for now, or until I add clamps to them and secure them to the wall. All in all I think I spent about $150, mostly storage bins and the like for this room.
So without further ado – On to the show!
So this was the original plan. Things changed slightly. I do still want a new sewing table, but I was working with what I had mostly.

| View from the door. We attached an over-the-door ironing board to the wall to save on floor space. Steve cut out notches on some left over 2×4 and mounted it on the wall, twice. After I painted it, I put it back up and then it fell. He fixed it. |
|
| The sewing table will be getting replace with a sawhorse desk. I found luaun doors at Lowe’s that are 24″ x 84″ for $21. Can’t wait to get started on that, but I need to finish some other things first. |
|
| My pretty-fied computer area. Hopefully I’ll be replacing that original wishblade with a new silhouette soon. |
|
| 6 of those bins are patterns. I need to get more bins, because some of them are full. Luckily these were on clearance at Lowe’s for $2.41 a piece. Score! |
|
| I got the option for the bin labels from a pretty cool life. I love the bit of whimsy it adds. |
|
| I also thought this quote was appropriate over my work desk. |
|
| I like this saying. It might be one of my new go-to quotes. Don’t mind the grocery receipt in the corner. |
Hopefully now I will be more productive and not as antsy feeling in my craft room. I really was getting bugged by the mess.
Nice touch with the stripes, I do love them! How do you like it? Doesn’t it make you want to start organizing?
