I don’t know about you… but we don’t have an abundance of extra rooms in our house.
When it comes to my craft supplies, I’ve always had a spot tucked away in the corner of a guest bedroom. A place that goes untouched and hidden away when visitors come. We don’t have an extra room for a dedicated craft room, but I still dreamed of my own space, with lots of natural light, and space to spread out. So my husband graciously offered to make my custom Craft Space :) I’m SO excited to be sharing it today!!
We started here. With a blank wall in our rec room. Doesn’t seem like much, but look how my husband and I transformed this empty wall….
Bah!! Every time I go down there I get excited!
We started by painting the wall. I wanted everything bright and white, so that was step one.
Step two was this GORGEOUS custom shelving!
My husband built shelving at high as I could reach to house all of my daily craft supplies.
Each shelf was specifically designed to accommodate the height of the boxes and containers I already had. Custom built to fit my sewing machine, my ribbon reels, and all of my scrapbook supply storage. The custom crown molding on the top adds a nice feminine touch too!
He even custom built this beautiful side storage to sit on top of the pre-existing pony wall, and he matched the trim at the bottom!
And then came the workspace. I LOVE a large desk space so that I can spread everything out while I scrapbook, and my husband certainly delivered!! He even added a new electrical outlet under the desk so that I could keep my pretty lamp, and plug in my sewing machine :)
The shelves underneath were specifically designed with my tools in mind again. The top built to accommodate my sewing box, and embossing tools. The bottom built to fit my cardstock and paper packs.
The beautiful space was topped off with some floating shelves and a DIY gallery wall (how-to coming soon!).
I’m smiling just looking at these photos! I couldn’t be happier with my custom craft space!
Do you have your own craft space?
How do you craft and keep organized?
Tell me how you liked my new craft space!

Looking good ! :)
Thank you!!!
So tidy and preety! I will never have such a clean work space…muhahaha! Congratulation! Thank you for sharing at Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party!
Haha. It’ll never be that clean again! You should see it now! Lol
Amazing! I am inspired just looking at the bright space! Great team work you two!
Thank you Devon!! You should come see it in person :)
I love your craft space! Nice colors and good storage. I am actually in the progress of making my own creative nook and your ideas are very useful. You gave me inspiration -thank you!
Amazing! I love when that happens! Glad you were inspired here :)
Such a beautiful space Lindi! Your husband did an amazing job!
Thanks!! I agree :) He’s pretty talented!
Oooooo!! LOVE it Lindi! It’s gorgeous! I’m totally jealous. I’m also that person that has a huge crafting stash in the guestroom. Ugh! We just have NO extra space for an office. Nice work!!
Hahaha. I know the feeling!! So hard to stay organized if you’re constantly putting your materials away for guests!
I love the way you utilized your space. Great job with all of the coordinating colors, it looks so wonderful!!!
Thank you!! I’m a huge fan of teal these days. Couldn’t help but incorporate it everywhere!
Looks so nice and so organized! You’ve got a great husband, what a nice space!
I’ve gotta ask, has it stayed that organized?
Thanks so much for sharing at Talented Tuesday Link Party, hope to see you again this week!
Hahah. Actually it has!! The desk top is messier, covered in different materials, lol. But now that everything has a labelled spot, I really am keeping it organized! For now… Lol.
Love the new craft space! I often spend my time dreaming up a big white and bright beautiful craft room.
Me too!! Turns out dreams can become reality! Lol.
What an awesome space! So many wonderful ideas for storage and function-ability. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty – we hope to see you again next week. :)

Popping over from Merry Monday =) Your space is beautiful and I’m SUPER jealous! I’m living out of a tote in my living room right now because my space in the basement is a mess. Someday… Be sure to share your recipes, crafts, upcycles & DIYs at Two Uses Tuesday (Mon 11pm EST to Fri 11pm EST) over at Sarah Celebrates if you don’t already!
Thanks Sarah!! I did that for a while too. This is SOOO much nicer! Lol.
If I ever get the chance to redo my craft room I would love for it to look like yours, what a fantastic job!!! I especially like the custom shelves!
I think your post would be enjoyed on my Friday Feature Linky party,
if you would like to share, I would love to have you stop by!!
Have a great weekend!

I have been working on trying to design my craft/project area for some time now. This is beautifully designed. Thanks for Sharing on Merry Monday.
Thanks so much Rachel! I’m loving the new space!
This is absolutely beautiful. I don’t have a dedicated craft space and would love to have something like this. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday.
Thank you Erlene :) It’s so worth finding a dedicated space! Makes life MUCH easier!!
The organization…the color…what’s not to love? I am getting ready to create a small sewing space, so this is very inspirational to me! Thanks for linking up at The Creative Circle. I hope you ‘ll party with us again this week!
Thanks Angela! I was SO beyond excited to finally have an organized space!
Oh my gosh! SUCH a dreamy space! LOVE it Lindi!!!
Wow, that looks work space absolutely amazing! I’ve always wanted to do something like this in my craft room, because none of the ones I’ve found at furniture stores have every really fit my needs. Making on yourself would make it a lot easier to make sure it’s perfect. Thanks for sharing, it looks absolutely stunning!
Aww! Thank you SO much for your kind words! I had the same problem when I searched furniture stores! So glad you found some inspiration here :)
Your space is awesome! Where did you get all of your white storage boxes? I have been looking for these for ages. Thank you so very much for sharing.
Oh! Thank you!! I got them at IKEA! They were super cheap too! Always a bonus ;) They always have a similar version.
I love that you were able to customize your own personal craft space. Your husband was nice to customize the furniture to meet your craft needs. I love your idea to put ribbon on the little turntables. Thanks for sharing your inspiring space. I’ll have look into creating one of my own!
Your husband did a beautiful job with the shelves. The bright white choice was a nice one.
