Whether you craft from your kitchen table, have a tiny little room to play in, or a huge fancy studio, it’s nice to have a place to spread out your supplies and get crafty.
Hi everyone, True here and my crafty space kind of falls somewhere in the middle. It’s nothing fancy, but I still love spending time in there.
Here is the view from the door:
Here is my main craft table:
This is my favorite place! This is where all of my “big girl colors” are and where I color and assemble my cards.
Here is my sewing area:
Here you can see my cutting machine table and punch storage (in drawers).
Here’s my photography set-up. Yep … I took a cheap shot and staged some of my Inky Antics stamps for the photo.
Here is my Discount CardStock, Want2Scrap, clear stamps, and embellishments area. There is also a peek of just a small part of my designer paper stacks in the closet.
My Really Reasonable Ribbon rainbow of color is shown below which is hidden behind the door.
Now that you have seen my craft room when it is nice and neat, you should head over to my blog and see the before shot.
BE WARNED….your jaw is going to hit the floor! It looks like either a tornado went through or there was an earthquake!
I would love it if you would come back here and leave me some love, or even crack a joke about the “before” shot.
I deserve it! LOL!
Hugs,













Thanks for sharing a peek inside your crafting space with us, Trudy. All you gals are inspiring me to tackle my own much needed office/craft room reorganization project!
Trudy, thanks for sharing your crafting area pictures.( Hehehe, the crafting fairy really did a good job at the reorganization. ). Yes, I was on your blog before I came here. But, I love your crafting stations, for sewing, coloring and photography. I always wondered why your card pictures looked so great. Looks like you use two or three light sources. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
Joan,
I try to take my photos outside when I can but in a pinch the natural light lamps work great.
Thanks for the sweet comment!
Hugs,
True
Ohhh, this is a room were dreams come true… I have I bench in our laundryroom where I try to work and our kitchen table and some storage boxes i the hallway and in a closet. My husband gets crazy over my stuff sometimes…
Just love this room
Wow, your space sure sparkles now!! It looks much larger all cleaned up too.
I love all your stations and it’s so colorful now. Gotta love that rainbow of RRR Ribbon!!!
You clean up nicely, gf! But…where is the chicken? Did the cat get him?
Love your crafty space—love all the organized stations. Definitely looks like a place i could get lost in for months:)
You crack me up Cammie! The chicken moved over to the top of the fabric cabinet. Come on over! I would love to hang out with you again!
Hugs,
True
Oh, you are fabulous! L-o-v-e your space!
Love your room! You have everything within arms reach! Love all your stations. And love that your before picture looks like mine!! Creatively messy is what I tell my husband!
Trudy, I Love your space! I am green with envy over your sewing space… WOW… and I love that you have “stations” too… and GIRL… that ribbon storage… gonna steal that idea!
Trudy,
You have a grid type thing in between your ink pads and your Copic Markers? Could you please tell me what that is? Oh and the craft room is beautiful.
Thanks
I used a shipping box and some lighting grid to make a storage system for my colored pencils. the box is 12×12 so I cut 2 pieces of the grid 12×12. I put one in the bottom of the box and the other at the top. Works great. I want to do another for my Copics but will have to find a larger grid. I know they make it because I have seen others use it for Copics, but I can’t find any locally. ;(
Aww it looks so purty!!
Aww it looks so purty!
I love your space! You have so much at your fingertips. And look at all that ribbon! Swoon.
thanks for sharing both before and after!
Trudy…..I want to come play in your creative space!!! All the little nooks and crannies hiding treasures. Everywhere you look….more goodies to play with. I love your ribbon storage….I have to store mine to be put away during classes…so no luck for me hanging it up all pretty like yours. Love that you have everything you need right in reach. Very inspiring!
Come on over Ginny!
The before shot is the best! Love that craft tornado, it hits my room frequently!
Glad to see I am not the only one that ends up crafting in a little 12″x12″ space….when I have the whole room, but everything is in piles everywhere from my last projects! Loved taking a peek into your room! No way am I posting before pics of mine!
WOW! I am sooo lime green jello over your craft room. (Aka: green with envy!)
LOVE IT!
Lime Green Jello? You crack me up Corene!
Omgosh!!!! Love your space!!! Mine looks a bit like your before shots right now. I told my daughter that the dust bunnies killed my cleaning fairy! Lol! I think you have given me the nudge i needed to get my butt in gear and quit waiting for my cleaning fairy replacement to show up! Lol
Watch out for those dust bunnies Misty!
Trudy~ Your room looks so clean and fabulous!! I want to come and play too!! I love how you have everything organized, and all your fun goodies!!
WOW True!!! SO fun to see your creative space!!! Love the wall o ribbon!!! YUMMYYY!!!
Beautiful True. Love your ribbons. I see little Nessie curled up on the floor.
So, I have this love-hate emotion when I see these craft rooms… I totally LOVE seeing them! What fun to see where the masters create! But oh my goodness, I hate that your room isn’t in my house
Thanks, True for sharing both the before and after shots! Hugs…
Very neat very nice…When you are not working…Have a great day…
You did a great job cleaning up your craft room! The before picture looks kinda like my room when I’ve been working on my cards.
Ha! That looks great!!! Now I think I better get my room cleaned up! It looks a lot like your “before” picture.
Glad I could inspire you Dee.
Love your fabulous and well used space! Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks sooo much for sharing these awesome pics with us True, and I´m sure glad, you also shared the before pic, as it makes all of us feel much better to see, that even the best actually also is messing up their spaces, when they create he he he. I just love your space and how it´s sorted in the different stations. I tryed that too, but too many to share my room with, so I was soon put back to my small table again LOL.
Have a great time and let´s see a lot more cool creations, now that you have a nice and clean place to create on there he he he.
I love your cleaned up room! Unfortunately the before pic looks like mine most of the time. I tried to set up areas but do not have them organized enough to use them – so off to get cleaning so I can get in and have fun! Thanks for the inspiration. Love your blog and all the creative stuff you show on there including the cakes, cookies, and paper crafts!
Oh…just found this Trudy. Look how clean it is (LOL). Wonderful craft room!
Does it pass inspection Beate? I know you are an organization, nut.
Hugs,
True
Its awesome to see your space!! I knew it would be fabulous!!!! I am off to prep my space. LOL!
Love these pictures but the other picture on your blog is more realistic. True crafters don’t have clean craft rooms!
Thanks for sharing!
Soooo happy to see I am not alone in the crafting world….wonder if I will ever see the ‘clean’ space @ my house.
Oh Trudy…you were hustling to get that room reorganized in just one evening. I had to laugh at your actual workspace (it looks about like 6 x 6 inches…maybe if you had laid an Authentique pad there, you would have had no work space). LOVE your craft room…especially when it is clean…hehehe
My husband thinks my craft room is messy (and it is) but he agreed your before pic is messier. I do need to clean mine up but I don’t think it will ever be as lovely or as efficient as yours.
Love it all clean and shiny, can’t wait to have our remodeling do so I have my little space back, clean or messy right now would be great!!
