Craft Retreat

Eight months ago I was thrilled to finally have some closet space in our apartment dedicated to my craft supplies. Today, I'm lucky enough to call an entire room my craft retreat.  Our new home came along with a 'bonus' room in the basement.  It's a small room off the main basement living area that could be used as an extra bedroom or workout space, but Rob has kindly forgo any of his plans so I could make it my own.

I knew that I wanted tons of storage with room to grow my stash, a high table so I can stand while I work without killing my back, and I wanted to keep the cost minimal.

For the table I used bookcases from Target and a board and trim from Lowe's. We actually already owned the shelving unit and were using it for storage in the garage, but after a little reorganization, I was able to free it up.

The room also has a closet - the perfect place to hang fabric.

What did it cost? Here is the breakdown:

     - Small shelf for table - $17

     - Tall shelf for table - $26

     - Board for table - $20

     - Trim for table - $12

     - Paint for table - $3

     - Storage shelf - FREE (already owned)

     - Colored cubes and bins - $50

     Total = $128

I'm really looking forward to creating in this new space!
