Seems a while ago now that Smurf approached Husb with the idea to turn our home-school classroom into a Craft Room for me. Old post about schoolroom. With Roman at College and the younger three all studying in their bedrooms, the classroom was not really being used much. The transformation was a lot of work but totally worth it. 'Cuttlebug green' and 'Cropodile pink' were the colours I chose for the room and we used the furniture we already had. Below is the view into the room from the hall...
To the left of the door is a large storage unit and the computer...
There's an old mantlepiece in the room which I covered over with pink shiny fabric. This area holds tools and some cute cookie cutters and tea-pot and cup & saucer. Also there's a little bear which I crocheted.
To the right of the mantlepiece there's a tall set of drawers and Ruby (my tortoise) and her habitat...
There's another set of two drawers and the special wooden box that Chef made for my birthday, which houses inkpads and ink...
After the french windows (which let in loads of light) is my sewing corner and my childhood wooden sewing box...
I have a trimmer table next, with small basket storage below...
My wheeled tote stands between the sewing table and trimmer table. It's hard to see but after the trimmer table is a metal set of drawers with the door beyond...
These storage tins are magnetic and stick to the side of the metal set of drawers. Smurf helped me sort my buttons to be stored here (and look cute too)...
I made the bunting in the room. Some of the fabric was leftover from a quilt, some was re-cycled and about half were made from 1/4 yard strips. This craft room has turned out to be the best I could ever have imagined. I am truly blessed.
Oh my word. You lucky (but so deserving) girl. How utterly marvellous. Such great lighting and done out so beautifully. The bunting is the perfect high accent, and the colours are just scrumptious.
Wonderful indeed.

I'm so jealous!
Love the colours, and your button collection looks fab (mine is waaay out of hand).
It's so nice that you have Ruby to chat to for company, too :)
