[@debbievangurp8166]

I love the design of this craft room. You’re not overwhelmed by too much colour and too many items. I love organizing bookcases loosely and packing most of the items away. Hope you have many happy crafting hours in your new room.

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks so much for the kind words, Debbie! Yes, this room is very calming for me. I’m enjoying every minute creating in here. I hope you have a space where you can enjoy crafting too.😊

I use 12x12 photo boxes to keep my vinyl rolls in! It fits in the cub storage, they're cheap and it looks clean.

[@FirstDayofHome]

That’s a great idea! I’ll have to look into that. The basket is working for now, but I need a better solution because my stash also keeps multiplying. 😬

[@ashleybustillo2694]

I use a KALLAX insert that divides the cube into 9 slots for my vinyl.

[@FirstDayofHome]

Good to know! I’ve seen that one and wondered if people liked it for vinyl. I might reconfigure mine a little. I did add a divided 2 slot insert to have more room with my EasyPress.

[@ariel393939]

Oh, this is nice, bright, and fresh. Hubby did a good job with the paper storage box. It is a small space, but your selection in storage ideals and what nots are excellent. I love it all, I would of never thought about painting the light, I like the color you chose. I hope you got hot your champagne 😀 Happy crafting !

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks so much, Gale! It was a labor of love. I’m so happy to have a space to craft in now. I definitely feel more organized and ready to craft! I hope it was helpful.

[@ariel393939]

[@chrishough692]

It’s absolutely beautiful! I love the wallpaper you chose, and it does remind me of Tommy Bahama! I would like the name of the other one though, because I think it adds more color, which is what I’m looking for. I am only planning to do one wall also so I don’t think it will be too overwhelming. Your room is beautiful & very functional. Congratulations and I hope you enjoy using it! And don’t forget to push the button for champagne!

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thank you so much! It makes such a difference to have a happy space for crafting. Here’s a link to the other wallpaper: bit.ly/3KSpUU7. It’s a bit pricey, but if you’re only doing one wall it might not be too bad. Thanks for the sweet comment, and yes, more champagne please!😂

[@christycreates1731]

The fabric storage idea is genius! I currently have my fabric in bins and can't see what I have. Thanks for the great tip and awesome video!

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks, Christy! I’m glad it was helpful. I definitely feel like it’s easier to find all my scraps. Happy crafting!

[@scrapgirl61]

What a great craftroom! Thanks for the great ideas. Thanks for sharing this craft room tour.

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks, Hillie! I’m so excited to have this space for crafting. Thanks for watching and supporting!

[@aliciaknits3331]

Beautiful craft room. Just a note - rubber bands and cardboard will ruin your fabric. Use plastic clips and comic boards instead to protect your fabric.

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks for the tips. I’ve never heard of comic boards.

[@stephenjohnson4879]

Wow what a super craft room. The colour, paper and furniture look so nice together. And, the picture rail is genius. Your room is so inspirational and really appreciate you sharing it … thank you.

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m hoping to do a little update soon with some organizing tips that I’ve learned along the way.

[@annenglish2935]

You've done an incredible... beautiful and very useful room. I could never imagine my "watercolor" space like that... it's in our bedroom and plan on using our own bookshelves and dresser. I like your rolling cart - especially for paint! You've inspired me ... Thank you! 😊 With love from a California Gramma ❤️

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks so much, Ann! This project took me several months, especially to get everything somewhat organized. I’m glad you got some useful tips. That makes my day! Hugs from Texas!

[@blimone4]

Good choice on the wallpaper!

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks, Barbara! I'm glad you liked it. I needed something calming and peaceful.

[@SM-yd8hq]

One of the loveliest craft rooms I've seen. Absolutely love the colour and wallpaper. I tilted some of my billy bookshelves back - the front is one hole higher than the back, and that stops things like vinyl rolls and paper rolls from rolling off, they fit perfectly. You can also get an X insert from ikea that fits into the kallax.

[@FirstDayofHome]

That’s a great Billy hack! I ended up buying the split shelf for the Kallax too. I didn’t use it for vinyl rolls, but if helps keep my heat press and supplies separate.

[@Krafterleyjane]

Love this! Just found you . Will be redoing my craft room soon and going to IKEA! I love how your space turned out and the hanging picture thing is so cool! 😊

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks, Kimberley! I'm so glad you'll be working on your craft space soon! Yay! 🙌🏼 It's so nice to have a place to create and get inspired. Have fun with it!

[@marijowakley7770]

[@FirstDayofHome]

[@traceycanchon7936]

Love the color palette of the room and the wallpaper. Like how your ribbons are visibly organized. The whole room is amazing and inspiring.

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thank you, Tracey! I’m glad you liked it and hope you can get some helpful ideas from it. 💕

[@caroleanderson1106]

Very pretty craft room.

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thank you, Carole! I’m enjoying it.

[@jittersaunt]

What a beautiful, peaceful and functional space. Great job!!!

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks so much! Yes, peaceful is exactly what I wanted. 😊

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Your new space is so fresh looking Crissy! Your idea for fabric storage is smart - I have quilted for years and mostly have (actually 'had' because I have paired down my fabric collection quite a bit) fat quarters. Folding all the pieces into the same size and shaper really helps with storage. You did a great job on your room and I know you will create beautiful things in your craft space!

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thank you, Cindy! It feels so good to finally have things organized. My fabric organization was a big project since I was not very tidy with it before. Now I’m inspired to start sewing again! Thanks for stopping by!

[@lauraann7816]

This is the first video of yours I have seen-you did a great job! I said to myself I hope she picked #3 - it just seems soothing. Yay #3 😃

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks, Laura! Exactly! It is such a soothing pattern and doesn’t overwhelm me. All of them were pretty, but I need calm in my life. 😁

[@znycelondon5313]

Awesome transformation🤗🤗🤗 Perfect chice for the wallpaper. I love the rail……and the idea to suspend it between the book shelf’s……..genius 🤗🤗🤗. You will enjoy your craft room……your happy space ……creating projects to share here on your channel Congrats and enjoy🥰

Your craft room is beautiful! What I did for my vinyl storage is - I cut down a PVC pipe to a bunch of 10 inch sections and then stacked them up to fill up one of my cabinets. Then I just slide the rolls in and out as needed. I have the IKEA Besta cabinets btw.

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks so much! I also really appreciate you sharing your vinyl storage tips. I still have some rolls in their original box, but that takes up more room. I love the PVC idea!👏🏼

Thank you so much, Kim! It took me a long time to find the best bins, and it feels so good to finally have things organized. Thanks for watching!

[@charlenearmel8228]

What you were able to do is beautiful! My problem is lack of room and financing. My craft room is maybe 6X8. I'm just limited all the way around.

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks, Charlene! Yes, I was fortunate to have this space to work with. I’d definitely focus on using tall bookcases with height extensions or Kallax cubes to maximize space in your room. Another option is a foldable desk/table that you can set up or store as needed. Not sure if my post with 30+ craft organization ideas might help? www.firstdayofhome.com/craft-room-organization-ideas/

[@leeannekilgore9477]

Omgoosh! I’m just so happy that you went with a color. I just finished mine in naive peach by SW. I love it.

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks! I am really enjoying the color. It makes me feel at peace. Good luck with the move, and have fun decorating your studio, Melissa!

[@sherimcgill5139]

How is the board between the bully bookcases attached? I like this idea!

[@FirstDayofHome]

Hi Sheri. It’s a little tricky to explain, but we have a piece of trim (think crown moulding from a home improvement store) that is cut to the width between the bookcases. Then we screwed in a metal L-shaped rod to the back of the moulding that extends beyond the width of the moulding. That L sits on top of each bookcase and is flush with the top and back edge of the bookcase. The hanging wall frame is attached to the front of the moulding. I hope that makes sense if you watch that part of the video again.
