Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Other

Style: Funky, Whimsical, Cute


What was your inspiration?

Though I don't actually knit in here (I prefer my chair in the living room), I keep all my knitting supplies in here as well as my spinning wheel, along with all my other craft goodies.

I wanted a colorful and funky space to keep me insprired. I didn't want it super tidy or closed up. I need to be able to look at my stuff. It's how I get inspired. It's still a work in progress but I LURVES it!!

What are you most proud of?

That my hubby actually managed to keep himself from running away long enough to help me finish it!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Start off with a clear plan in mind so you're not stressing. Try to do things that will make you happy and keep you inspired! If you run out of space, go verticle.

Hey Bren - I saw this photo of your studio when you first posted it. You inspired me to reorganize my own studio. I had a lovely craft room but it just wasn't.....optimized. Now it's perfect! I started a project book with all of my ideas and the general layout, and spent a good portion of the summer executing. I found so many treasures and cool tools I had completely forgotten about! Now there's plenty of room for my mother or friends to join me on the weekends to knit and sew and quilt and weave in total comfort. Thanks for the inspiration!!

I am SO jealous! No extra space in my house, or any storage area as the whole house is finished! As soon as the daughter moves out, in a year or two, guess what?

Wonderful, fun creative space. Like Grammaco, I aspire to such a room as this.

Fabulous! When I get a spare room I will be doing something like this, instead of having it all over the house in whatever nook I can hide it!
