Want to see MY “Craft Room” ?

April 5, 2014

 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”.
http://sewingandsanding.blogspot.com/2014/04/want-to-see-my-craft-room.html#more

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.

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.

The bathroom reveal is LIVE! Here is just one The bathroom reveal is LIVE! 

 Here is just one small view of this new, improved, and somewhat magical bathroom.  I have been dreaming about remodeling my bathroom for years and I can finally say it was worth the work and the wait. 
 For real though, can you even get enough of this tile ?? I know I can’t get enough, but I certainly knew HOW much to get. Did you know that The Home Depot app has project calculators for a wide range of materials INCLUDING tile, so you  can know exactly how much product you  need? You better believe it!
 I have details about this feature and more reveal images on the site today.

Sneak Peek… of our completely renovated master b Sneak Peek… of our completely renovated master bathroom!  I have put off giving our bathroom a makeover for 5 years.  I think there are a lot of reasons people put off big projects … time, money, skills, knowledge, tools?  While The Home Depot can’t completely eliminate the list, they can certainly shorten it!  With a library of “How-to Guides”, helpful resources like “Project Calculator” and a vast inventory of tools to rent The Home Depot can certainly make any daunting project more achievable.

My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still organizing the kitchen, but so far I have fit all the contents from the existing pantry AND freed up an entire lower and upper cabinet that contained pantry items.  #winning
Would you believe me if I told you that where this Would you believe me if I told you that where this beautiful custom-built pantry sits, used to be a small builder grade closet? Talk about untapped potential!? While the closet/pantry served its purpose, the space was not well utilized and was altogether unremarkable. With the help of The Home Depot this pantry is not only extremely functional it is a gorgeous feature in my kitchen. 
Sometimes we might look past or forget the untapped potential and resources. 
For example, did you know The Home Depot has a TON of resources to help you with your projects?  Did you know that you can do image search in their mobile app? Yup! Just take a picture of the needed item scan it on your app and find the product in a flash! In fact you  can add it right to your cart and have it ready to be picked up at available stores or lockers!
