Hello! I thought it would be fun to walk down memory lane and share how my craft space has evolved over the past decade.
My crafty storage space actually began in a vintage trunk. I outgrew that very quickly. So then, I moved down to the basement, in around 2006. There was a table and desk down there, and I made my crafty home down there for about a year or two.
I then had the brainy idea to turn our spare bedroom into a crafty paradise in 2008. I actually called it Scrap Land for several years. I used the same desk that was in the basement (and was my grandparents’). I remember I had a lot of fun shopping for new storage units. I have never stopped loving that. 🙂
My mom painted the desk white, and I still love it to this day. The trunk on the left of this photo is the one I started out with for my scrapbooking storage!
I loved having these paper racks!
Then, in 2010, we got new carpet all throughout the house. My hardwood floor wasn’t actually too bad looking.
Here’s a look after the very bright carpet was laid and my room was put back together.
I have switched up my desk and other things in my room over the years. It keeps the room fresh.
Last fall, we repainted most of the house and I had dreamed about having a brick wall in my space. I found the perfect wallpaper!
And, after the painting and papering were complete, my desk moved again- surprise!
I love my two big bookcases, and I have tried to pare down my collection of stuff so they look nice, and not just jam-packed, lol.
I added the small cabinet earlier this summer. It’s perfect for my small planners and photo albums.
One last look…this is how my room looks currently!
I love, love, love my space and I enjoy reworking it (often) to fit my current crafty obsessions.
I hope you enjoyed this tour of my crafty space!
