Craft Room Update

Here some update photos of my craft room.  I will continue to post these the first of each month to see if I can stay on track.  There are still some things I want to do but this room has come a long way! I could never have accomplished this without my friend!

Some organizing solutions I did have in place, but they were hard to see before with all of the stuff everywhere.  My husband had built this cool holder for my wrapping paper.

My husband had also hung a piece of plastic gutter under the entire length of my window to hold my ribbon.

TaDa!

Thanks for taking the time to visit me today!

    I am loving these ideas! I am hoping to have a craft room of my own after my son gets married this summer. I especially love the ribbon storage idea. Everything else I had seen for ribbons had them on a dowel rod, but I didn’t like the idea of having to slide several of them off and on when one got empty.

  33. Mary Anna says:

    I never would have thought of a piece of gutter to hold ribbons. That’s brilliant! I use drycleaner coat hangers and pop the bottom off, slide on my ribbon and hang in my craft room closet.

  34. Wow – nice job!! Love the blue accents too!

  35. LOVE the gutter for the ribbons. I especially love that pretty blue color that you’ve painted several things with, especially the table. It’s so pretty!

    How did you hold the shelves in the closet? I’m thinking about nailing 1×3s and placing the shelves on top of the wood. Just curious about how you did it.

    thanks.
