A Stationery and Quilt Designer's Crafts Room
Barbara Rucci runs B. Rucci Studio, which designs artful invitations and logos for small businesses, and Tender Threads, a new line of unique quilts made from old clothing.
Barbara's simple but large skirted table is the perfect space to spread out and create. A bulletin board on the wall is perfect for hanging photos, kids' drawings, and other pieces of inspiration. Make sure your crafts room has a comfortable chair for long hours. Add a cushion to a chair on wheels for comfort ease in moving around your space.
Me hubiese encantado que la mesa para cortar telas de mi Abuelita luciese asi de fashion! ASi da gusto cortar patrones.
Your Very Own Creation Station
· A simple solid-core door provides plenty of work surface for this studio bench, designed for hobbies and crafts.
Shapely mail-order legs -- counter height is a good choice -- support the door.
A vintage hutch, found at an antiques store, sits on the surface.

· Customized storage makes the bench even more hardworking.
Pegboard and a sheet of galvanized (magnetic) metal are mounted inside the hutch doors to hold small tools and swatches;
a metal shelf bracket screwed to the bench on one side of the hutch keeps reference books from toppling.
A painted wooden box attached to the underside makes a handy stashing space and is accessible through a lift door cut
from the work surface.

· Under the bench, a caster-fitted piece of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) becomes a dolly, making it easy to roll out
heavy equipment, such as a sewing machine.
Finishing touches give the unit charm -- from the wood appliques glued to the hutch crown to the wallpaper-backed shelves
within the hutch and colorful bin pulls on the hutch drawers and dolly.

· Editor's Tip: Inexpensive cabinets, chairs, and tables can be found at used furniture stores.
Brush on a coat of paint, add new hardware and cushions, and these items will be nearly new.

Pretty Perfect Crafts Desk
· Making a crafts room you will love to create in takes time and planning.
This crafting space is color coordinated in pretty pastels.
The light palette makes it a welcoming place to be.
Multiple drawers allow hide-away storage, and holes cut into the desk slab hold cups for storing scissors, color pencils, markers,
and paintbrushes.
A letter-sorter desk topper allows paper to be sorted by type.
A magnetic sheet attached to the inside wall of the desk topper gives even more vertical storage.

· Editor's Tip: Remember to use spaces like the back of a door or the side of the desk.
A paper-towel holder can be mounted to the end to hold ribbon.
A pocket shoe holder that hangs on the back of a door can hold dozens of crafts supplies.

Portable Crafts Room Cutting Station
· Adapt a rolling metal shelf unit with locking casters into a movable cutting table.
Add a flat surface to the top for cutting.
· Editor's Tip: Designate a basket or two for unfinished projects and keep supplies to finish that project in the same basket.
When you have time to finish the project, you won't need to gather your supplies again.
It also makes it handy to take projects on trips or places you have to sit and wait for a long time.

Sewing Central
If all you can spare is one small piece of space, set up a pretty vignette so you don't mind having it on display at all times.
Create a vertical storage solution by installing curtain rods across a window or empty stretch of wall space.
Then organize color-coordinated ribbons and fabrics for your current project so you can easily find what you need.
Use a small table underneath to keep your sewing machine andscissors within reach.

· Editor's Tip: Dedicate a basket by your sewingtable just for scraps.
When the pile gets high, sort by color and use storage cubbies or see-through drawer towers to keep them neat.

Family Crafts Room
· Mesh drawer units keep flat supplies visible.
Lower shelves store bolts of fabric, and deepdrawers at the bottom are sized to hold balls of yarn, larger tools, stencils, stamps, and tubs of clay.
· Editor's Tip: Adjustable shelving is ideal because it can evolve with your crafting needs.
