We Met in a Bar

the craft room

Thank you for the kind words about our nursery! We love it and hope our little guy will too! Here is the other half of the room, devoted to my craft/sewing/creating side!

Everything is basically from IKEA… the table, the drawer system, the shelves and the chair, oh and even the trash can! What can I say, we love IKEA (and their low prices!).

The desk holds my sewing and craft books, a fabric box from Target that holds miscellaneous fabric, scissors, whatever… an ampersand from Antrho, a christmas ornament organizer that I won last year at my company’s white elephant exchange that perfectly holds all sorts of thread and buttons, patterns and bobbins, you name it! My inspiration board is just a cheap cork board that I painted the trim on.

Too cute measuring cups hold little odds and ends.

And this vintage sewing drawer holds all kinds of ribbon and twine.

I love my new space and mixed with the nursery I just want to spend all of my time in there!! Once the little guy gets big enough to realize that he is sharing a room with my ‘stuff’ we may move it to our bedroom (there is room) but for now we will share the room and he will be none the wiser.

And with that, have a lovely Friday and a great weekend! It is supposed to rain here on Monday so I am going to go out and enjoy the sunshine while I can!

I really like your craft room, it’s really neat and organized!
And I don’t think your little baby boy will mind quite yet that he’s sharing with your craft area :)

genius. i bought a too-small table for my crafts from ikea, and now i’m wishing i got this table (and the drawers) instead.

hopefully you are soon to meeting your little boy! best wishes. :)

I adore this room! However I am not very good at sewing, but I grew up watching my mother hem skirts, dresses, and pants, and make outfits. This would be her dream room! We have always talked about starting our own clothing business.

Oh and I adore the mini inspiration board.

The measuring cups are soo so sooooooo cute! I love these.

I found a sewing machine drawer in a pile of goodies I scored at a recent auction. A little Old English and glue made the drawer adorable.

Such a wonderful space to create in.

[...] finally moved the sewing table out of his room and now he has the run of the place. It is so nice having an entire room that we know he can just [...]
