It’s done, it’s finally done. Almost 11 months in the making and my craft room is finally complete. Come on, let’s take a tour of my new creative space…

striped craft room makeoverWhile the rest of my house has a lot of darker blue and gold tones, I wanted my craft room design to be bright and cheerful. I thought it would be fun to have a pink striped accent wall, something girly. To scale it back a bit I added some DIY picture frame moldings for under $30.

These boards really help me stay organized and cost next to nothing to make (the 4x8ft peg board was $18 and a package of peg board hooks from Lowe’s or Ace Hardware was under $10).

And it’s on wheels which makes it easy to scoot around the room. Although that’s kind of why I opted for a smaller 5.3 x 7.5′ area rug from Amazon for only $55. I didn’t want the craft table to get stuck on the rug and cause it to ripple.

I hope you enjoyed it!

I guess it’s on to the next room in the house.
Hmmm…. the dining room or the master bedroom?

Decisions, decisions.

    Love it! The curtains are my absolute favorite– LOVE that fabric. Whoever said to put those two peg boards on the striped wall is a genius. Now, let’s discuss the fact that you have a walk-in closet in your craft room.

      Yeah, let’s not look inside the walk in closet…

    Just curious why you decided to get rid of the Flor tiles from your craft room after about 2.5 years. I ask because I am considering using Flor tiles for our home.

    • howtonestforless says

      We didn’t get rid of them. We moved! The new craft room is in our new home.

    I know this isn’t your current house anymore, but do you remember the name of the blue gray color on the 3 non-accent walls? This is such a cute craft room!

    • howtonestforless says
