I thought it might be fun to share where we craft. May not always be the neatest place but I have a dedicated craft room that is a wonderful place to create and imagine!  |

I sew on a tiny table in my den/family room. I scrapbook at crops. I have a nice scrapbook room that has been piled with stuff for several years and I recently noticed my son piled a bunch of boxes in there. I think there is very little hope it will be usable this decade.

I craft in the dining room. I have an amazing armoire with a desk, but often I will sit at the table - especially if any of my kids are in the room. They are getting to those difficult adolescent years, and I want to be available for them. Sitting with my back to the room doesn't feel very welcoming. I do love it when I need to "get away from it all," though. It feels like my Craft Cave, surrounding me on three sides with all my pretty papers and embellishments.

According to DH, all over the entire house!  He exaggerates...a bit. We have an office off the laundry room that has always been my sewing room. Then I have a large desk in the family area (scrapbook headquarters), not to mention the 8'x5' island which always seems to have a project or two on it (currently it has many piles of quilting fabric). Then if I need more table space, I will expand into the dining room.  Here is my official space. It's not always been this pretty. This happened when we remodeled the house 3 years ago.   |

My current fave craft is glass fusing, which can not be done around food. It's the only thing I've ever done that I can't drag into the kitchen, dining room, or living room. I do have a glass room with all the glass and 1 kiln. Another kiln is in the living room. Upstairs I have another craft room with all my rubber stamps and scrapbook supplies, and my jewelry making items. Hmmm, actually, something has spilled over into the dining room. After making fused jewelry items, I bring them to the dining room to add the bails and chains.

In a small utility closet off the kitchen. It houses the electrical box and the hot water heater. I have no where else to go and my biggest fear was the hot water heater busting and all my paper getting ruined. Guess what? It busted last year and I was having to haul ALL my crap out because water was everywhere lol.
I call it my cave since it has no windows.

I share an office/craft room with DH. It's got my desk and storage stuff. It's also got crap piled on top of crap and all over the floor. We have a path to the computer desk where DH works on house plans.
I actually CRAFT on the pool table in the living room/kitchen/dining room/entry. Our house has an open floor plan. I have a 3 part olfa cutting mat that fits quite nicely on it. I drag out whatever my current project is and all the stuff that goes along with it and work there. When I'm scrapbooking the whole table is covered in papers, paper cutter, computer, cricut, artbins of paper, scissors, glues, tapes, bling. When I'm sewing all that stuff gets put away and out comes the fabric, sewing tool box, sewing machine, ginormous ruler and T-square. For my vinyl projects there's usually tons of crap all over the table. It's quite the functional space! Glad we bought it (and neither one of us really loves to play pool). LOL

I have a studio. Love it. I can leave out projects and work on them as I have time (even 15 minutes works). It's my favorite space. Here is my 10 minute quick video tour. m.youtube.com/watch?v=hC6ZTMobWI8 |

I have a corner of the living room and what's supposed to be the coat closet. It's right in front of the front door so that mess is the first thing you see. I don't have any where else to put it. Basement is too full of crap. The house is too small. I hate it but that's what we got. I know I need to clean it up and find a way to make it neater but that's not gonna happen. What I really need is another room.

I scrapbook in the room formally known as the dining room. :-) Me too. It's a large room and we never sit down to eat in there. My dad made me a wonderful piece of furniture for my crafting. It's like a large credenza. It has 8 drawers in the center and on either side large shelves where I have baskets. On the rare occasion we do use the dining room, I can clear off the top of the unit and serve food buffet style. I do card making, so most of my "stuff" is easy to store in drawers or baskets. |

We have a large room off the family room in our basement. It was just a large empty space, so we had floor to ceilong shelves and a workstation built on one end. There is also a table in the middle of the room . I share it with my Lego loving son-I craft and he builds, sometimes at the same time Our basement is a walk out so there's a lot of natural light down there, I love it! |

I have the smallest bedroom in the house for scraping. It's probably about 10 x 10.

I'm fortunate enough to have my own room/space. It's the space between the kitchen and laundry room. I think it's meant to be a breakfast or morning room but there's only 2 of us....I have an island in the kitchen with stools and a large dining /family room which is plenty of eating spaces for us so it would essentially be empty if I didn't craft...LOL.
It's not too large or too small...it's just right and it helps me keep my collection of "craft crap" at bay.
It has a beautiful large picture window that I can see my gorgeous bougainvilla in full bloom and lets in plenty of natural light. It's my happy place and am very grateful to have it.

I have the smallest of our bedrooms as my craft room. Here's a couple pictures.   I love my room, it's where I go to chill out, decompress and make stuff.  |

You're adorable OP!
I have a room where I paint and craft (mostly just paint). It was my scrapbook room but now everything is in there (and I got rid of most of my sb stuff). It's not very big but it's nice and has a door to keep me from looking at it when it's messy.. which is always.

When we moved I went from being in my office, a spare bedroom and dining room to a 1000 sq foot one room space! Painted beachy colors and it's all my stuff!!!

Our family room was an addition to our house so I craft there. It's nice and roomy and at the end of the house so it's also out of the way so people don't see my mess |

I have a room dedicated upstairs for all things crafty. Over the years it became more of a hoarders haven and dumping ground for all things unwanted.
At the beginning of the year it was my "New Years Project". It took me awhile but I ended up going through every single thing in the room and donating stuff I would never ever use. I painted and re-arranged and now I am happily up there sewing away. I have a desk set up for scrapping on one side of the room and another on the other side for sewing.
Everything is organized and labeled. It is such a happy spot in my home! |

I turned my smallest bedroom into my craft room. I added a counter to one wall because I cannot sit and craft- I have to stand. Patter - Your "messy" table is what my counter looks like when it's clean-ha! |
