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.

I leaned in heavily to the dark moody feel for the guest bedroom makeover and I love it! The dark sienna  hue, coupled with my @kilzbrand #accentwallchallenge is absolutely stunning. (If I do say so myself.)
I have a room tour, wall tutorial and source links on the site today. #linkinprofile #sponsored #everyprojectisworthit
@Kilzbrand presented me their #accentwallchallenge @Kilzbrand presented me their #accentwallchallenge, and you know how much I love a good challenge!
If I am being completely honest, I feel like I rocked this challenge. It is absolutely insane how a single wall can change the entire feel of a room. 

On the site I have a full tutorial on how you too can create this look and all the fun details about my choice of color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line & the KILZ 3® Premium Primer

Am I the only one who tackles unnecessary projects Am I the only one who tackles unnecessary projects before entertaining guests? As I was preparing the guest room for the Holidays I had an epiphany. I had a vision of what this room could be, and I just cannot let it go - this room needs an accent wall!

I am teaming up with the great folks over at @kilzbrand to create the perfect accent wall, with a gorgeous color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line & KILZ 3® Premium Primer. Stay tuned because this accent wall is going to be gorgeous. I just need to pick my accent color. What do you guys think, clay or sage?  #sponsored #kilz #GuestRoomMakeover #AccentWallChallenge #EveryProjectIsWorthIt
