It's not a cute craft room yet, and its not Pinterest worthy, but it is clean and organized. And I am so happy I had time to get this job done. Decorating will come later.
This is my Necchi sewing machine and this desk that belonged to my husband's grandparents suits me just fine to sew on. The drawers are nice storage and the desktop is enough sewing area for most things I sew.
Rubber stamps on the wall, a work table for paper crafts and the bookshelf has baskets of glitter, markers, ink pads, craft scissors, etc:
On the top shelf is a Cricut machine for paper cutting.
This cubby was in the closet but it was hard to see in so I moved it out and added sorted fabric in each cubby. On the top is fabric that I have projects in mind to make first.
Roll wrap is in the crock and the container on the right is full of old white towels that I plan to cut up and hem for rags.
these shelves all got sorted. Fabric is on 4 shelves.
Perler beads are on one shelf, Beads and jewelry making things have a shelf
One shelf holds 2 baskets of glues, tapes and all adhesives
Also sewing notions, plastic canvas and yarn, supplies for kid crafting, more quilt scraps, batting, ribbon and some patterns-
Before- the closet was a disaster but not anymore!
I hung up the ironing supplies in their rack on one door.
Scrapbook paper and such is on one big shelf.
On the floor is a box of fall craft supplies and a box full of gift bags and tissue paper.
That red basket is empty
The tubs on the floor- one is gifts, one is unfinished quilt tops and squares my mom made or my dad found at yard sales, one tub is solid colored fabrics and 2 tubs are small fabric scraps.
The folded clothes and clothes on hangers need ironed.
The storage cubes on the middle shelf hold vintage sheets, plaid fabric, etc:
And this is the desk that holds the PC, printer, routers, shredder and tall that kind of stuff.

So, that's my craft/sewing room. I still want to label the containers, shampoo the carpet and do a little decorating and that will happen soon.
For now, I am thrilled this room is useable again.
I've been thinking about how to fix this room for months and have browsed both online and in stores for more containers and shelving units. But as I got to working in here today, I discovered I already had more that enough things on hand to organize this room.
Doing it all for free is a happy bonus.
Yes, I know I have a lot of "stuff"
But I truly bought very little of at retail price.
Some is from yard sales and thrift stores.
Some is from my daughter and the majority of it is from my parents when they downsized to move to their retirement home.
Thanks for visiting
