The New Look Craft Room

At last! It's done! It was a major task - taking me all weekend and most of my free evening last week - but my little craft room now looks how I've always dreamed it could look. I've moved around the furniture, bought some new bookshelves and thrown away at least five bags full of rubbish! But, I'm left with a room that looks lighter, brighter and more spacious - and I can find everything!

Desk & Inspiration Wall

I'm sure you can tell how excited I am just by noting the number of exclamation marks I've used in the last paragraph. I'm so looking forward to getting on with some actually crafting.

And it looks as though I'm going to have the time. My poor little laptop has decided that it's overworked and is refusing to charge itself. So, in the meantime, I'm reduced to fighting The Steve for control of the main computer.

If I'm a little quiet this week, you'll know that 'someone' in the house is happily playing World of Warcraft, while I'll be whittling away the hours I would normally spend blogging playing with pretty ribbons and papers. It's a hard life.

    It looks fantastic Clair! Very inspiring (says the girl who hasn't been near her own room in two weeks). I'm loving the bead mood board too. Also very inspiring :)

    Hi Clair, I'm back :)
    I love how you organized your craft room. It is very functional and pretty. Love the photos on the wall (i was actually thinking about doing this in my craft room...hehehehe)
    I am in the process of fixing up my craft space in the new apartment and will share pictures of the process on my blog. I will let you know when I'm done with the space :)

    Nothing like cleaning up the space. You become reaquainted with your stuff. Good job. The after pics are marvelous. Now you are free to create something amazing!!

    It looks lovely, Clair - clean and fresh and (damn you!) super-tidy, too. Hope you've been busy having fun and messing it up...

    oh wow, Clair! the room looks amazing!!! I sure do hope that The Steve lets you get on the computer long enough to post all the pretties you'll be crafting in that room.

    I love how brght and airy it looks, perfect for creating. enjoy!

    Hey Clair, you're a bit absent from blogland! Are you too busy playing in your spiffed up craft room, or are you having too much difficulty fighting for computer control?!! I hope it's the first one, and you'll have lots of pretty new things to show us soon! x

    That is one organized room! So jealous. I'm working in a messy corner right now. Searching for the motivation and the time to tackle it. For now I'll just make believe I am working in your nice space.

    Woooooow this is beautiful!! I've always dreamed of having my own craft room, and totally personalize it, just like you've done with yours! :) It's really nice, and I can say that you must feel really satisfied now :)
    The hard work is usually always worth it in the end.!! :)
