Craft Room Decor

When I started crafting I dreamed of having a craft room. I would search Pinterest and save photos of craft spaces. My designated area was my kitchen counter. I would grab my supplies, make something, pack it all away and do the same thing the next day. A craft space seemed like a dream.

I have two boys, and we have a “bonus room” in our house. This was a new term to me. Growing up in New England I had never heard that term. Here in the south, it’s common. It’s basically a bedroom, but most use it for a playroom/game room. That’s what we used it for, too. There were kids toys for years and a TV and couch. As my boys got older there were less toys and I started thinking I might steal a small corner.

So, one day I was on Facebook Marketplace and spotted a farmhouse style desk that would fit perfectly in front of a nook in the room. It was $40.00 and I grabbed it and claimed my spot! (Even better is when I went to pick it up the man selling it gave it to me for $20.00 since it was a practice piece he made!)

I had a rolling craft cart I moved in the space. I added some pieces on the wall from some small shops. My neighbors had two shelves they were getting rid of. I grabbed them! One had a glass shelf and baskets that were perfect for storage.

What I quickly learned is that everything doesn’t have to be perfect! I found deals and hand me downs and tried to make it all my own…which made it even better.

Sometimes I switch things up! Recently I found some vintage suitcases and put the pink one on a stand to create a table. I then found two floral chairs (on Facebook Marketplace again!) and added one as my chair at my craft desk!

There are things I would love to add or change! What I’ve learned is instead of waiting for the perfect craft room I’m going to take what I have, be creative and make it my own. So, if you’re looking to create a space, go for it! Even if at first you can only have a small desk in a corner somewhere, it’s a start! Add a few things that make you happy and get inspired!

Sharing more inspiration!

I thought I would also share some inspiring craft spaces from some of my super talented Insta-friends!
