Craft Room Plans

It's hard to believe that the long dreamed about craft room is about to become a reality.  All the walls are studded (is that the right term???) in and lights are installed.  Next is the outlets and light switches, insulation, then the drywall.  Of course the rest of the basement needs all the same stuff so it will still be quite a while before the craft room is done, but at least it's becoming a reality. 

We met with the kitchen designer at The Home Depot to design the craft room cabinets.  What originally was going to be pieced together cabinets and things I found here and there is now going to be installed Martha Stewart cabinetry!!!  It's a small room, but will have a lot of cabinets and little cubbies for storage.  We are using Martha Stewart Maidstone cabinets in picket fence white.  They look like this:

The hardware on the cabinets will be different and they will be white, but this gives you a general idea of what they will look like. 

Here are the plans we've come up with:

This is the view looking down.  We are adding a refrigerator and sink to the craft room so it will be somewhat like a kitchen as well.  Good for resale (God forbid we decide to move now that I finally have a craft room!).  Plus the extra refrigerator is so needed right now and every craft room needs a sink!

Sorry this one is sideways.  Can't figure out how to rotate it, and don't have the time to do it right now anyway!

This is the work area I will have to put my sewing machines on when I'm sewing or to spread out when I'm doing my scrapbooking.  The corner cabinet is an appliance garage which will be perfect for storing my sewing machine and serger when I'm not using them.

The little cubbies next to the fridge will be great for paper and little crafty things!



So, those are the plans.  Sorry if they are a little difficult to look at.  My scanner is giving me problems right now so I took them outside in the sun and wind to take pictures of them with my camera. It's the best I could come up with right now.  I never claimed to be a photographer among my many talents!
