Home Sweet Home - Craft Room - My Haven !!!:))))

Finally, the last and the most interesting round of home tour -- My Craft room , my haven !!!:)

For those who haven't read about my previous posts in this series, you may have a look here, here and here.

I tried to reduce as many pics I can but still this post is loaded with pictures . Please don't have many expectations, it is just the guest room that I have turned into my craft room . We don't have guest staying for long time so whatever time they stay in this room , I guess they should not have a problem

Okay then , all aboard ? Welcome to my cozy little craftroom !!!:))

The moment you enter, you are greeted with this burst of colors :) There is nothing written on the door as such, I just added that 'My craft room' during image editing.

This is my desk on the left after entering the room which I have shown it earlier in one of the posts . The four pink boxes on the top are recycled which you can read about it here. The print on the table drawer and the colorful background is not a wall paper, it is the laminated ply left over from Anshita's room. 

This is the close view of the desk . The top blue colored is the notice board covered with heavy silk fabric .  Behind the cream wooden strip, I have a bright tubelight that helps me take pictures . 

For my smaller pieces, I usually take pics here . But I still get shadow problems .

This is not much of a view to be seen . This is the snapshot of the mess inside the table drawer in the above pic. The right image is a big cupboard where I keep my yarns and fabric . It is gray in color which I need to paint in white . A big project in itself . 

Back to the table, this white flap can be opened.......

like this to make a sewing table for me . It has a heavy support from the bottom to be manually opened which holds on lot of weight on the table . There is storage space underneath this flap where I keep my sewing machine as I don't need it daily. But I plan to make a nice cover for it and then keep on the desk .

This is the front of what you saw in the first pic. This is a big 4' x 4' glass covered notice board . I display my things here . I don't have too many things to display right now . It is a cork board covered with baby blue felt fabric . The striped blue thing in the corner is the bed which is having lots of stuff on it so there is nothing to see . This bed opens upto double size when we have guests .

Here are some of the ceramic knobs that are used on the drawers and a designer handle on the right pink cupboard .

This is a special ceramic knob that I took a close pic. The one with buttons on it . I don't know how they make it, it doesn't feel like painted . I have a pair of these .

In the bottom there are four small cupboards, for which I specially ordered these cute glass handles filled with beads . Perfect for a craft room , isn't it ?:)

In the drawers, go my extra yarns and threads .

This is the pink cupboard on the right . It has mine and Anshita's crafting supplies as well

Let me show you the notice board . Once you open the glass door , hold those two knobs (under the blue doily) and pull ......

Wow !!! I have a secret storage here as well :)) this is a hydraulic fitting which makes it easier to open . The notice board was a bit heavy but you get various types of hydraulic fittings based on weight . I got these cheap colorful plastic baskets from a supermarket which holds lot of crafty stuff .

But my most favourite is the first yarn shelf which also hold beads and buttons in each of the racks . The box with brown lids are glass coffee boxes which I saved for few months and collected many . The boxes with white plastic lids are those of broad beans which I use to eat a lot and saved them. They were sturdy boxes . I did not spend a penny on any of the boxes here .

Let me end up my post with a colorful smile for you :)

I hope you liked my creative design in the limited space . This room was done in the last with leftover laminates mostly from Anshita's room .

Thanks for seeing !! Looking forward to your views :)

Have a great day !!

Messy-to-Classy, Recycled calendar, Thread storage ideas!! :)

Hope you had a nice weekend .  This is my first Messy-to-Classy update for year 2015 . And apart from my clean-up,  I also have some nice thread storage ideas to share with you all :)

So what did I do this month? I cleared my craft room desk which usually becomes a dumping place for any kind of paper work, crafting stuff, stationery and sometimes unwanted grocery bills .
This is what its state was since 15 days with some or the other junk finding its way onto my work space .

After few days, some more clutter

This is how it looks now!!

I like seeing it whenever I visit the room . Of course, it gets messed up again when I start crafting :)


Recycle:
This is a wooden perpetual calendar which we got as one of the New Year gifts from a well known watch company in India after we bought loads of wrist watches as gifts for relatives.

Anshita designed this cute picture for me with my blog header and titled as ‘My Craft Room’ :)  Isn’t it a lovely one?

Thread Storage ideas :
I am glad to share a post about ‘Thread storage ideas’  from Pam of  'Threading my way' .  She is an accomplished seamstress and loves gardening . She also hosts ongoing link parties under different categories where you can see variety of projects with tutorials from beginner to advanced levels . Just visit her; you are sure to get inspired .

There is a slight change that I am going to make to this link party to make it simple .  I will open a link every month on the sign-up page itself . I will remove the restriction of date and you may place link to as many posts you write for that respective month . Just click here or the ’Messy-to-Classy’ tab . You can sign-up and post any time .

I would be glad to know about you feedback on my craft space and the recycled piece even if you are not joining the party :)

Have a crafty week ahead!
