Sawdust 2 Stitches

Want to see MY “Craft Room” ?

 Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest, I have been able find so many great organization ideas, and awesome inspiration for beautiful yet functional “Craft Rooms”….
Like these…
While the jars of color coordinating buttons, and hanging ribbon displays are beautiful, they didn’t seem very practical for my needs.
Allow me to introduce you to MY “Craft Room”.

While I was VERY tempted to paint all the  benches to match, and go all “Corey” on it  (yes, I just used my name as a verb). Alas, I reigned in my own crazy and refrained.
  This is the one place I am completely okay with function trumping form.  It smells like sawdust, and spray paint, and I love it.

So you can have a reference of how far this room has come, here is  picture of the garage a few weeks after we moved in.  haha,  Look at that blue!  The original owners LOVED bright colors.

Slowly but surely  I was able to turn this space into EXACTLY what  I wanted/needed.

One thing I wanted was a freestanding island that I could work on projects from both sides… BUT I didn’t want to compromise  all the space in the garage.

Solution?  Hinges+Castors= Rotating Workbench

The other thing  I needed was access to the planer.  To use the planer it needs to have space on either side.  The moving bench allows the planer to be stored and still be easily accessible.  Only hang up was I needed to be able to access the top of the planer.

Solution?  More hinges.

This is my completely customized craft room, and I love it. It is one of my happy places.
