Crap Room to Craft Room

 Hi Peeps, I wanted to share my craft room with you today. The Ikea Armoire used to hold my Computer, but since I got a Laptop I really didn't need an entire office anymore, so I converted the office into my craft room. 
  



I love the fact that I can hide everything in the armoire and the matching filing cabinet.
 
I hung some little boxwood balls in the window with twine. I can't take credit for that idea, I stole it from my favorite blog Lady Holly from DOWN TO EARTH, click on the link below to see that post.

This is an old weathered toolbox . I put some fake Greens from Ikea in there...love it!

 Ok, here you have the sad truth...the inside of the closet...full with lotsa CRAP Treasures that are waiting for me to get them out and decorate with! Clearly I have no shame!

and here we have what sits on the other side of the room....meet Wilfried the tortoise...

 

Willie has a beautiful home too, he wanted to share with you all !!! lol

 Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you back! Leave me a comment, they make my day! Christine

    You're lucky to have a special place for all of your craft supplies etc. That cabinet fits the bill! My 11 yr old would love to have a pet turtle like yours. He sure is cute.

    You are a lucky girl to have your own craft room! I would love to have one. I too have crammed lots of "projects" into various areas of my home and wish I had one place to put it all! That is a project I've been slowly working.

    I love the boxwoods and the faux Ikea greenery. Every room needs some greenery, even if it's fake. I wouldn't have known.

    I love how you incorporate nature inside your craft room. It makes the ambience relaxing and peaceful. Take good care of your cute tortoise, Wilfried. :)

    Love Wilfried! I also love the way you have corralled your craft stash. A little overflow into the closet is not so bad.

    I finally organized all my craft stuff into plastic shoe boxes in cabinets I got from Ikea. Can't tell you what a difference it makes to be so organized.

    What a great craft room! I gave up mine when we gave our younger 2 boys their own room. Now I have my stuff in our VERY small mudroom.

    Thanks for sharing your stools too! I love your Craft room! I have a similar desk armoire from Ikea that's gone from kid's room to basement storage. The little boxwood balls are so sweet hanging in the window and so is the old tool box! Thanks for stopping over!!
