Dull to Dreamy: Spare Room Revamp

Photo gallery of Spare Room Revamp. Useless spare room transformed into inspiring art studio!

This room has been tricky since day one. It has 2 closets, 2 entrances (1 from the bedroom & 1 from the entryway), a bay window, and it’s just funky all around.

After revamping the bedroom (See “Bland to Boho: Bedroom Revamp in earlier posts) this room became a ‘dumping ground’ for clothes, bags, and overall just ineffective storage. SO, that meant…. it was time for a project! I decided to turn this room into the ‘Crafty Art Studio’ I always wanted. I had a vision of an inspiring space that was visually stimulating, while still being practical and organized.

The photos below show this room’s journey from “Dull to Dreamy” & Spare Room to Craft Studio. PLUS some hidden treasures found in the process.

Enjoy!

Any good revamp begins with a clothing PURGE!
For reference, this is how my craft area USED to be…
Not inspiring….
Before the revamp. After moving my crafting stuff into the spare room.
STEP ONE: Remove the CRAPet….carpet, remove the carpet. I hate carpet.
….
Creepy or Cool?
These were not just under the carpet, they were wedged into the SUB FLOOR.
These were hiding under the carpet too. Super neat.
This is the floor I was left to work with….
STEP TWO: Buy the cheapest vinyl sticky tiles you can find. Lay them down. Paint the tiles any color you want!

Organizing the crafty goods
Then….I bought a CRICUT.
and now I’m addicted to it.
Starting to come along
….
CUE CRAFT TABLE DELIVERY!
I ordered this table from Home Depot. It’s the “Olympia Hardwood WorkBench”.
50″x20″ for $109…. seriously.
This table is perfect.
Also, painted the door to match the floor tiles 🙂
And cue the crafting!
And here’s the finished product…so far.

keep it crafty y’all

This one kicked my butt. Totally worth it.
