I don't have a craft room but I do have lots of bits and pieces of stuff.
When I did have a dedicated space I had drawers, and cupboards for everything. I was big on card making back then but could not possibly keep all the stuff to carry on as my house is smaller now. I had to give it all up.
I guess I miss my space. So what kind of craft stuff do you you keep in your craft room?

I sell some antiques and home decor, I reupholstered furniture, and my DH makes tables. Very 'farm style with vintage soul' types of things. We joke that we were 'Magnolia' before Fixer Upper was ever around. I've owned my store 6 years now. |

I've watched all the episodes of fixer upper. You must have a lovely decorated home! |

I don't have a craft room - I have a section of our small family room as my craft/office space. Consequently I have limited storage and try not to keep an excess of anything.
I have a scrapbook table with supplies under and on it including my cricut
I have a desk with my sewing machine and a 4-drawer plastic unit with fabric and a 3-drawer plastic unit with thread/sewing tools/notions and a file box with patterns.
The kids' craft cabinet is in there also - it has paint, papers, playdough, beads, feathers, pompoms, yarn, kits etc...

I still scrap so there is lots of card stock, papers, embellishments and everything else one has / needs to scrap. I also have the 48 albums I have scrapped stored in there. These are our family albums, several each for DD and DS and also several for our three grandchildren together with travel, Christmas, heritage albums.
ribbon embroidery so there are all the supplies for that, boxes of threads, hoops
Quilting / sewing so I have my machine, quilting rulers, fabrics, cottons and everything else.
I occasionally knit but there is only a bag with different needles and my current project.
There is also my desk with my computer on that I use for photos and what else I need it for.
I love having my own space and would find it very hard to give up.

everything but the kitchen sink!!
it was a craft room. and doubled as storage for some rubbermaid bins, christmas wrap and bankers boxes of the kids schoolwork. i work from home now so it's also my office. DH and i split up so it is now my bedroom too.
basically, this poor little room is bursting at the seams right now!

The bed, two dressers, a treadmill... LOL I have one end of our bedroom for my scrap space. I do have storage units, a wire shelf unit, a desk, and an armoire for my scrap corner though. All full of scrappy goodies.

All my crafty stuff, my husband’s massive safe, our china because I haven’t found the perfect storage option, and miscellaneous crap that still doesn’t have a home 12 years after moving into this house. The miscellaneous crap sits on the foot in the corner. I’m tired of looking at it.
My crafty furniture/storage consists of one 16 cube Kallax, 2 Alex drawer units on casters, 8 cube unit from Costco with the canvas inserts, drafting/craft desk, 2 raskög carts, antique buffet for scrapping while standing, built in shelves where I store all my photo boxes, wooden chest with miscellaneous stuff belonging to DH.
Unfortunately the antique buffet doesn’t fit in the only space I have in the dining room to store my china. If I didn’t have old steam radiators it would fit perfectly.

my very large stash of scrapbook and card-making supplies!! And paper, paper, and more paper!!  and a lot of other things that I may or may not use for scrapbooking- if I get around to trying them out, that is. One wall in the room is all shelves from the Container Store; they hold most of my scrapbook supplies. I also have Ikea bookshelves that hold some of my paper (lol) and some of my personal books- we don't have space for bookshelves anywhere else in the house. For work surface, I have a Container Store desk that I've had for 20 years and our old kitchen table-- I also bought a desk credenza (the upper part of the desk) at Goodwill that sits on my desk to hold my most-used tools, adhesive, etc. Basically my craft room is a mishmash of unmatched furniture and storage pieces. I also have shelves on one wall that display some of my childhood sentimental items- a Mr. Peanut bank my grandparents gave me, some small figurines, quirky things I find at the thrift store- like an oversized wooden protractor that must have been used by a schoolteacher, etc. I also have a wooden type tray (the kind of tray with lots of small spaces in) hanging on the wall that displays random very small figurines and stuff. |

I have a very “eclectic” craft room. I have 3 of the Kallax units from ikea. One of the big ones (4x4) and one on each side of that is a 2x2. I have ikea storage bins in the bottom of all three units, which I store larger, bulkier things in. Just above that, I put doors on 8 of the cubes and I store all kinds of crap in there. Prima flowers (I have tons), MM, Heidi Swapp and Tim Holtz foam stamps. I got rid of the MM paint a long time ago. Remember those little bottles? They were so cute! I also still have all my stencils. Can’t bring myself to get rid of them. Old CK mags, a mag TH signed and old Elsie Flanagan mags. But then on top of all the Kallax units, I have all my Metallica stuff thrown in with a huge Barbie Pez dispenser my dd bought me. And I have a tall, thin Billy (I think) bookcase just for all my Sizzix and TH dies, thinlits and embossing folders, that are hung on the outside of that using Command hooks. I’m a huge Metallica fan and I was in the fan club for over ten years before they kind of put an end to it. Every spot on my walls has Metallica memorabilia except for a wall I have a storage shelf on that my dh built for me exclusively for wood mounted rubber stamps. I also have my alcohol inks, mists and stamp cleaners on that shelf unit. My work table is from ikea that I just put two cabinets under on the ends, also from Ikea. It’s a lot to dust and I avbsolutely hate clutter but I have a system in there for all my craft and Metallica stuff!! And it makes me happy. I have a new vintage style record player too! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

All of my scrapbook and card making supplies, all of my scrapbooks that I've completed on a long book shelf that my DH made and my meditation cushion and yoga blocks, as it is my craft/yoga/meditation room. I also keep my gift wrapping in the closet in the room. And a paper shredder. Lol

So what kind of craft stuff do you you keep in your craft room? Hahahaha I'm glad you qualified your question with "craft stuff" because I was going to say in my craft room there's a Christmas tree, and several suitcases, and a box of books heading out the door, and several bags of canned goods from the laundry room/pantry area because we've taken out an old shelf and are replacing it, and a big bag of dog food, and a Costco sized bundle of paper towels.... etc.  Yeah, I don't have a dedicated craft room. It's more like the space where I used to do those things. sigh... |

I share my space with my only guest bedroom. So the room has scrapbooking and cardmaking stuff stored in every drawer, the two small closets and even the bathroom cabinet (paint). I moved some of my sewing things up from the basement last year. The guest linens are stored in boxes under the bed. With a little clean up, it can look like a guest room with a sewing machine and large craft table on one wall.

My crafting is pretty much limited to scrapbooking...so, everything related to that: paper, stamps, inks, paints, die cutters, sewing machine, typewriter, ribbon, washi, buttons, punches. You name it, I probably have it. Most of my completed scrapbooks are kept in a separate part of the house; I have my 'in progress' ones up in my scraploft, though. I also have a TV and a fan...and a few things to decorate the space, like my antique cake plate, a SCUBA helmet, and autographed Crocodile Hunter calendar. I have a small fridge and a sink, too.
Half of the desk belongs to hubby (it's a square, face-each-other style), so he has files in the desk where he stores his important papers. Other than his side of the desk, the space is all mine.

Sounds interesting. What do you do with all the fabric? I make quilts, pillows, zippered bags (all kinds - pencil pouches, makeup bags, lego bags, planner bags, duffle bags, tote bags). Placemats, coasters, quilted wall hangings. I sew a lot.  |

There is an air hockey table in there and I doubt you will find a pair of scissors as they tend to get lifted very quickly.

My craft room has the armoire (sp?) from our bedroom set and four IKEA Kallax shelves that hold mostly stamps, inks, paper and all the other usual card making stuff, and my sewing machine, fabric, yarn, etc. I have a "chair and a half" that makes into a twin bed in case we ever have guests. It's also the place I keep my purse, phone, car keys, charging station, etc. In the closet is luggage storage, ironing board/iron, my box collection (yes, I save small boxes), snow pants/jacket, etc.
