Making A Dent In The Craft Room

I decided to tackle the craft room one afternoon this past week.  This is the mess it was and there was hardly any room to move around in here, much less being able to craft or sew!

I moved a couple of the bins out so that I could move things around a little.  I decided to put my ribbons in the cabinet drawer right outside the craft room {in the laundry area} since I would like to keep my gift wrapping supplies in this area anyway.

I measured, cut and put down some drawer liner that we had.

It holds my ribbons nicely and there is even room if I get more. 

I put some tissue paper and miscellaneous wrapping paper in the bottom portion, which has the slide out drawer.

Then it was onto the craft room itself!  I did wind up making up a “donate” pile and a “trash” pile because I really didn’t need everything that was in here.

I put my screen in place {that was in the living room in my old house}. 

It works here to hide my roommates.

I also moved the smaller table over to the wall opposite the longer table.  The longer table will be getting a toile skirt, which will allow me to store a few things underneath it.

I still have to open that box and take my sewing machine out, get a few more storage boxes and do a general clear up, but at least it’s a start!  I can actually stand in there and turn without knocking something over.  And, get a picture from the craft room looking back to the kitchen!

The next time I show you this room it should be done!
