A Craft Room

Sewing Station

Whether it's your hobby or your livelihood, crafting requires space. A well thought-out "play" room of one's own reaps its many rewards. Organize your workroom around decorating solutions that do double duty without doubling the volume, too. Designate stations for supplies. This will help your space run efficiently. And prioritize counter space. Keep frequently used tools and materials in open containers, and relegate sparkles, spangles, and fluff to their dedicated shelves and marked boxes.

Central Work Station

First things first: Anchor the room with a good-size, centrally located work station. John Boos' stainless-steel table is the primary piece here. Its 40-inch height satisfies the crafter's desire to stand or sit. Two accommodating storage pieces are placed on opposite walls, their surface areas maximized: Broyhill's pantry cabinet supports a wooden catchall; a vintage unit touts a ribbon memo holder. Molding from New England Classic adds architectural charm, while also serving as an accommodating perch for finished projects. Furnishings on wheels make sense. Chiasso's acrylic nesting tables and Romanoff Products' plastic bins have rollers to ease relocation.

Vintage Wall Shelf

Vintage Wall Shelf

How to stay organized: It's simple, really. Assign each craft supply to its own container. Never mix items, and you'll always maintain order. Beautiful "makings," grouped by category, are stashed within sight. A revamped vintage wall shelf, dressed up with tiny shells that have been glue-gunned on, is just right for a treasure trove of ribbons, seam binding, and thread.

A three-tiered wire basket from Peddler's Home Design manages rubber stamps, making designs quickly identifiable.

Double-Decker Storage

A vintage double-decker table holds some basic crafts paints and adhesives, keeping bottles and cans upright. Koko Co.'s easy-clean plastic mat lends spill coverage to Carpet One's stain-resistant broadloom.

Inexpensive Canning Jars

Simple Storage

Inexpensive canning jars offer a pretty way to view embellishments such as shells. Itemize jars with handwritten labels. Paint-by-numbers found on eBay line up with cardboard masks from Creativity for Kids to make an inspiring gallery that can be rotated.

Pantry Cabinet

Pantry Cabinet

Seek balance between the inspiring materials that stay out for full viewing pleasure and those elements that go undercover. Doors and drawers, unlike open shelving and counter space, can be closed to help maintain a sense of order. But make sure that enclosed contents can be accessed immediately during a burst of creativity. Broyhill's pantry cabinet houses a cornucopia of crafting ingredienets. Shelves are adjustable, and doors stay open. It was fate that a salvaged stepped-back box fit on top!

Tobacco Cabinet

Tobacco Cabinet

Managing the potential chaos of a work space is a challenge, so choose versatile pieces that can help with this task. This old tobacco cabinet was freshened up and then embellished by Darlene Duggan, a Florida-based shop owner and crafter. Its wide sliding drawers are ideal for stowing crafting items, such as decorative papers and linens, that are best kept flat. Industrial wheels ease relocation. Bonus: a tape measure applied to the top shelf.

Ribbon Board

Ribbon Board

A ribbon organizer is part of this craft-room makeover. About 10 yards of 1/2-inch-wide grosgrain ribbon, secured with upholstery tacks, forms a simple lattice design. Photographs, postcards, and other inspiring bits of ephemera remain in view, tucked under the straps.
