I was the little girl who went on playdates and cleaned up my friends' rooms for fun. And I'd mentally configure every small space I encountered into a one-room home. The bed would flip out over the kitchen sink, which was above the stove and next to the closet, all on one wall. That left me 3 other walls to construct. Yup, that's when I knew that lifestyle organization would be my thing.
Decades later, I still play pretend with an imaginary space.
This image from Better Homes and Gardens is such an awesome inspiration for a crafts room. There's ample storage yet everything's close at hand. Letting your space ramble gives way to disorganization.
You can get the shelves here, the storage unit here and the baskets here. These are a alternative type of wall shelves, if you'd prefer. And here's a desk similar to the one pictured.
The designer let the storage space continue up to the ceiling with covered baskets, great for small items. They even used these magazine holders for the shelves. The flow of the room allows for lots of crafty materials to be contained in a small space.
And the best part about the design is the colors. The soft gray walls, white and natural units, with only a dramatic pop of blue print keeps the space creative but not overpowering. Ah...I love a good day dream.
Tell me, Appleshiners, how would you organize your 'dream' crafts room?

I love that! I've been organizing/planning a craft space + office for myself lately via pinterest :)
Good, KB! I love sites like pinterest that give a true vision to our daydreams. I'll have to check out your pins for some shared inspiration!
