I would love to build a table into the closet of our guest room and install custom shelving to hold everything. That room only gets used once in a blue moon and when it's in use or I'm not crafting I can just close the doors. I found some sample pictures posted in Rate My Space and think its a wonderful idea.

Hmmm...that sounds like an excellent idea! Our closet isn't big enough for something like that but I lke how it sounds.

I just found this one on Rate My Space; it didn't come up in a previous search I did.

Maybe this wouldn't be so hard and won't have the unsightly legs of a table!

I love that, the parts almost look like they came from Ikea. This is sort of what I'd like to do:

I'm working on mine now so no pic to show yet.

I saw a magazine/soft spine publication in Joann's the other day that was abut craft spaces that women have set up ]. It was at the checkout counter so I didn't get a chance to flip through it. If there is one close to you you might want to take a look

oh lukkirish!! that's awesome!!

Thank you artlover---there is a Joann's a few towns away. I will have to see if I can find it!

Thank you Trilobite---some very nice ideas! (Some people have way too much stuff though lol.)

I just signed up to get an IKEA catalog sent to me; we have one about 60 miles from here so I want to check it out before I go. Their prices don't seem as cheap online as I remember...

Here is mine ........I love having my own space. BH&G have some great pics of craftrooms also. Mine is always being worked on & worked in. :) Bonnie

Wow...nice room. I am in the process of fixing up my larger master bedroom closet where I had shelves built to store my large dinnerware collection, holiday decor and will eventually set up the craft/sewing area on one end of the room. That pegboard is a great idea.

I've had this site bookmarked for years. Maybe it will give you some ideas.

Bonniee---that room is AWESOME!!! Mine isn't that big but I am sure DH can do something like that. If I were you, I'd hide in there all day haha. Thank you so much for sharing.

ljwrar---I am going to check that out more closely today; it seems like they have everything you can think of to set up the room! Thank you.

thank you Cathrugg ! My room was exactly the utility room in the house plan & the builders goofed & put it on blocks for the raised concrete foundation we have. DH told them to leave it, I always wanted a room to do crafts in so I got it. It has been a bit of a challenge sometimes with the longer than wider shape of the room but hey, I got a room right! I found inspiration for my craftroom by googling craftroom images & on the BH&G site. Also on these places like AOL decorating, home ideas, Southern living, southern accents, that have some hobby rooms & multi-purpose rooms you can tour. Have fun looking & dreaming up ideas! Bonnie

I am working on my own personal space now! I can't wait to go home tonight and drool over the links you guys have shared!

Great room, bonniee, and I love the valance - did you make that and was it from a pattern that I can buy? TIA!

Thank you greenthumbfish! The valance I did make.....it is a McCall'sHome Dec #3632 It is view D.....bell swag valance. Everything was pretty easy except for the going thru the thickness of the pleats at the top by hand. My fabric was alittle tough there but if you have a lighter weight fabric it would probably be easier . It says 90 minutes on the pattern but it took me longer than that since I was learning my new electronic sewing machine. Good luck and post pics when you finish....would love to see! Bonnie
