Craft room tour & source list

I'm excited to be back and blogging again, this is my first blog post in almost a year. I've spent the past year working on my Etsy shop, and of course doing home interior projects.

 I am looking forward to blogging more often and sharing what I've been up to. A big change that I recently made was renaming this blog (previously home happy home) to match my Etsy shop. It just made sense to have everything more cohesive. I'm also attempting to upgrade the look of my blog which is challenging for me since I'm not tech savvy.

I figured I would start off with a little tour of my craft room and a source list to help anyone who is in the process of shopping, decorating, etc.

This side of my craft room is where I have my computer desk and do all my shipping, bills, paperwork, etc. 

My desk is the Linnmon model with Alex drawers from Ikea (link)

The chairs are Ingolf models from Ikea (link)

Shelves are also from Ikea. Brackets are inexpensive plastic Ekby Stodis that I spray painted gold (link) White shelves are Ekby Osten (link)

Bulletin board is from Hobby Lobby

Artwork and photo boxes also from Hobby Lobby

Office and Create sign were DIY

This little corner is functional and pretty to look at. It holds items that I don't use as often and some fun pieces.

The shelf is the Ikea Hyllis, it is a steal at $14.99. I spray painted mine gold and added the wood shelves which I painted white. (link)

Photo boxes, large storage boxes, and gumball machine are all from Hobby Lobby

Curtains are Threshold from Target (no longer available)

This is what I consider my crafting corner. I paint, scrapbook, make banners, anything crafty happens over here. I also store my many filled scrapbook albums over here (yes they are all filled). 

My craft cart is the Raskog utility cart from Ikea (link) I could no longer find it in this color, but I've seen similar ones at Michael's (link)

I purchased my desk and cubby system at Ikea years ago. The exact model is no longer available, but it is similar to the Kallax workstation (link)

The large cubby system is similar to the Kallax shelf unit (link)

Wall shelf and storage jars were from Michael's years ago. I found this similar one on Amazon (link)

White storage boxes from Ikea fit perfectly (link)

 I hope you enjoyed my craft room tour. Let me know if you would like a more detailed look at how I organize my space or a video tour.

Thanks for stopping by!

Craft Room Tour

I've been hinting that I was making some changes to my craft room. When we put in our new floors I decided to lighten up the room with a new paint color and then rearrange my desk layout.

Originally the room was a warm brown color and I had painted a stencil on the focal wall in white. You can read more about that here and here.

The new wall color is Glidden smooth stone and looks amazing with the dark floors.

Welcome to my new craft room...

My craft room is at the front of our home in what is supposed to be the formal living room. Here is a glimpse as you enter the house. 

My Ikea Expedit provides a ton of storage. I wanted to get another one for this wall however the new model the Kallax is slightly smaller in size and I'm not sure how that would look side by side (grrrr).

I added a new gallery wall with items I already had. The deer head was from the Target dollar spot (score), I just traced patterned paper and glued it on. 

 I bought the globe second hand and painted it last fall.

I had to have a section to display my love for Strawberry Shortcake! Can you tell I'm a child of the 80's!

These small boxes are perfect for storing craft and scrapbooking supplies.

This is just some of my completed scrapbooks. Hence the need for another Expedit!

This little table holds my Project Life albums and adds a pop of color to the corner of the room.

Before redoing our floors this piece was in our dining room. It's full of odds and ends and decorations that I'm not currently using.

The opposite side of the room is my work station/desk. 

I found these cute little tags on clearance at Michaels and they were perfect for labeling my Ikea boxes.

The cubbies under my desk hold my binders and my scrapbook and craft paper.

My favorite part of the room is my gallery wall. I made some of the signs myself and I also purchased some items from Etsy. My oldest daughter drew the penguin picture and my youngest daughter made the heart string art. 

 My husband recently made this cubby shelf for me from wood scraps in our garage.

 The tiered organizer is from Hobby Lobby and holds some washi tape and my foam stamps.

 This organizer is from Michaels and I use it to hold some of my Etsy shipping supplies, my tags and shop stamp. The leftover Project Life cards work great when I need write a quick note.

I recently recovered my chairs with fabric from Hobby Lobby. 

My Ikea cart is much more functional now that the carpet is gone! It holds my go to everyday items. It mostly holds items I use to make my signs...paintbrushes, picture hangers, paint, etc.

This is the view from the adjoining dining room.

I hope you enjoyed my craft room tour. 

Thanks for sticking around for all the photos!

Have a great day!

framed atlas pages

Time to change up the art in my craft room...again.

This quick swap only took a few minutes and cost under a dollar. 

I had three black frames that were previously in my daughter's bedroom.

I also had an old atlas that I picked up at the thrift store for .50 cents.

I picked out three pages that had some meaning. North America, Ohio our home state and the Philippines where my husband is from.

I love how they look in my craft room with my globes.

I love the pop of color in the room and changing things around always makes me HAPPY!

Have a great week!
