Craft room tour

Lately I have been asked by several of you over on instagram to see more of my craft room, so yesterday after finishing a big project and getting my room all clean I took TONS of photos so I could give you a tour! Photo heavy post about to happen here, but I don't want to leave anything out!
I have to tell you that I love this room, and it has be come a family room. My kids are in here with me all of the time. Its wonderful, I love having them in there doing homework, hanging out and helping mom!

I am so lucky to have a handy hubby who can make my vision a reality! He is so talented! He tells everyone that we added on to the house just so I could have this room! 

This is my main work area. I just added the computer to my space an I love it!

I call this silhouette central! Both my curio and cameo machines are here. I use them all the time!

Clear drawers are essential, I need to see whats there or it becomes a forgotten mess!

Fabric storage and an oversized ironing board! Its 2ft x 6 ft. 

My island has a built in space for my sewing machines. The island itself is 4 ft wide by 6 ft long. Its a dream! I use fishers cutting mats, tape them together on the back to keep them all in place!

Yes, thats my boyfriend, Keith Urban. My little corner of heaven. Don't worry, the hubby is fully aware. :)

Here is a better shot of my ironing board. I used this adorable fabric by adornit to cover it. Below is all of my bins for fabric scraps. I organize them by color. 

1 yard or larger cuts are organized on mini bolts that I make from foam core that is cut down to 7" x 10". I simply wrap and ion in place!  

I have 3 main machines in my room. This is my Juki industrial. It is a straight stitch only machine, but its fast and very heavy duty! 

Have you discovered pleasant home pin bowls yet? They are amazing and work great for pin and I use them for metal machine accessories! 

This is the other side of my room. It is also shipping central! Each bin contains and order and its invoice. Once the order is complete I add the shipping label and my shipping manager (aka the hubs) packages everything and sends it out. 

Everything we need is right here. Boxes, tape, labels etc! It works great! 

More fabric mini bolts, I have a lot. 

Got buttons? 

Sort ribbon in clear jars, by color! I use so much more of what I have since I started this!

Office space is essential! I am a huge planner, so a place to sit and think through my week is a huge for me. Its how I GSD (get sh*t done!)

I don't know how i lived without my DYMO label maker. If you ship a lot, just buy this thing, its amazing!

A place for everything. Its a must! I can not work in a messy area, keeping everything clean and neat helps me to be more productive!

Use a mug rack to keep twine all organized& at your fingertips!

                              
This bad guy is my industrial serger/overlock machine. Its crazy fast!

Have you discovered these amazing holders from holster brands? I use them for my glue guns and in the bathroom for my straight iron. They just stick to the counter, they are great! 

Whew! I told you I had a lot of photos! Thanks for sticking with me! 

Over the next few weeks I plan to share some of my GSD tips and tricks, so be sure to stop back! 

Have an amazing week!

Transformation Tuesday-My workspace

I have posted about my craft room several times over the years. What can I say, I love my space! I also love to share and hope that it inspires even 1 person! I have an amazing room thanks to my hubby, he owns his own construction company and he really can build anything! So 1 1/2 yrs ago when I decided I needed him to remove a wall to join 2 rooms and make my room bigger, he didn't even argue! (yes he is a saint!) When we did that re model the room was primarily gray, and while I love neutral, after some time it was just OK.

Something else I realized was it just wasn't as efficient as it could be. I had items out all the time that I rarely used and things shoved n drawers and cabinets that I forgot I had and bought more of! 

It was time for a change! I was going to add some color, clean, purge & re-organize! And then I did just that! 

Here is what I new for sure; 

I wanted red and aqua accents. 

I wanted clear containers

I wanted more shelves for the walls to hold the clear containers

I needed more fabric storage (a lot was in a cubby)

I wanted more of what I love in this room

So I spent one Saturday afternoon shopping like it was my job. 

Target, Hobby Lobby & TjMAXX received a lot of my money that day! 

After cleaning, painting and a lot of re thinking my placement here is where I landed:

The walls are all the same gray color, but I used a wall stencil & some aqua paint to add the design! 

I am in this room, well a LOT. So I needed it to be functional but pretty & uplifting! 

As you can see, I have a lot of fabric. Now all of it is out right where I can see it. 

Later this week I will post a how to on the mini foam core bolts I made. 

Loving the 6ft long Ironing board!!! 

This room is really 2 room turned into one. The other half is more for paper crafting and has another great work counter that my kids love to use!

Everything now has a place and it works the way I need it to! 

If you have any questions on what I did, where I got specific items or organization in general, post them in the comments. I would be happy to help you out! 

Thanks for looking!
