My New Craft Studio

What better way to start off a craft blog then to post pics of my craft studio! Six months ago we purchased an 80 year old farm house. We've been busy doing lots of renovations since then, including building a new craft studio for me! We took what was a hall of eight closets that ajoined our bedroom, and gutted out five of them and created a new room. Here are some pictures of the process and the finished room!


Here is our hall of closets that is about to be turned into my new Craft Studio!

There is a total of 8 closets. We will be ripping out five of them. I can hear girls crying all over the country because of this. But seriously, I am NOT a girl that needs EIGHT closets!

We begin by cutting a new door into our bedroom. The old door inside the hall of closets now leads to the new bathroom and will be boarded up. The door pictured on the right also leads to the bathroom and the rest of the house and that one will be staying.

And now we have a door! or the beginnings of one anyway!

 Took the doors off the closets and knocking down drywall


looking back into the closets. The drywall is now gone!


individual closets without the drywall

now it’s time to bring down the beams for more space!

craft room before the beams came down. Thats my most wonderful Hubby, workin hard just for me!


View from the new doorway. The Beams are gone! SOO much more room! still have to rip up the beams left in the floor


There is sooo much lighting already in here! YAY!



Look at all that room! There are still three closets behind me in a small hallway. Plenty of room to store Craft and SCENTSY stuff! Now we get to finish the walls, and then paint, decorate, and organise! YAY!
