My craft space is also my office, so I get really inspired by craft rooms that do double duty, that might look like an office but are also really just well-organized creative spaces.
I’m kind of in love with the pretty space that Amber from Damask Love works in, which once again makes me weep a little inside that I live in a state without an IKEA.
That’s where all this lovely furniture came from: the tables, chairs, drawers and even the big tower storage units. So streamlined, and you get a lot of storage in a little space, which is great.
I love the idea of using traditional “office” supplies in a crafty way, which she does with her rolling file cart turned storage for card stock, acrylic stamping blocks, paper trimmer and more supplies that a card maker needs to have always at hand.
This room also has a fold-out couch for guests, which makes a comfy spot for reading, brainstorming and doing work that doesn’t require the desk. You can see from the overhead shot that it’s not a huge space, but it’s really well planned and looks cozy, not cluttered.
Which is exactly the kind of inspiration I need for my office/craft area.
Another thing I love in this space is the little floating shelf on which she displays her magazine covers and current favorite creations. You can bet if I ever get any magazine covers I’m installing a shelf to show them off!
You can check out the rest of Amber’s craft room on her site and get all the details.
Love this, Sarah! I wish you had an IKEA in your state, too. ~ Doris
I just can’t justify driving to Dallas to go shopping.
wish I could!
Awesome ideas here! Thanks for sharing!
