Well, it’s hard to believe that it’s finally “finished!” I have sorted and organized and labeled every last inch of this room. (And done a little decorating, of course.) Furniture has been moved numerous times, replaced and reworked, leaving me with what I think is a high functioning space…IF I can keep it this way!
The large cubbie cabinet, I got from Ikea. For the amount of storage I need, Ikea had the best options for the price. I have SO much on those shelves, but it’s all visible and accessible.
I spent very little money outside of the Ikea cabinet. I used things I already had to decorate the walls and containers I had to organize.
This room did involve two small projects: extra large chalkboard and mirrored cabinet. I will be doing semi-tutorials on those soon.
This room needed to function as my office, but also as my studio. The craft table was made by my dad and I a few years ago. It’s an old door that we cut and added hinges to, so I could use it for shows. It folds together and is easily movable. Considering that I only do a few of those a year, I thought this would be a better way to store it. 🙂
I added the floating shelves above the doors to hold all my milk glass and other glassware. They were originally in the girl’s loft, but when I did their makeover I took them down. I got them years ago from Ikea, but I’m pretty sure they still carry them.
I love having everything labeled!! It’s the little things in life, right!?
I hope you will stop back by on Wednesday to find out how I made the mirrored cabinet.
Have a great week!

Thanks so much for sharing your crafty studio/office. All your hard work sure gave way to a great space. I worked several weeks doing somewhat the same and best thing I did was label.
So quick and easy now that it is pretty much sorted out. Have a few tweeks and when it ever warms up I can finish painting a few more pieces to get it all co -ordinated.
I really love the old chairs too. You are so fortunate to have some great natural lighting.
Enjoy!!!

Lucky you! What an amazing place to get creative! Love all your vintage touches – I have the same old drafting stool! So many amazing things to pin – and now I want to take over our guest bedroom!

Hi there, I just found this post via Hometalk. This office looks great and I love your milk glass collection. I have a hard time walking away from the pieces myself. I just did a really similar post this week about taming the craziness in my office for better function.
