My grandmother's little craft room was just that....little. It was probably 10 x 10 and we loved every inch of it. It had shelves, cabinets, a sink, and an old dinette set we used as our painting surface. It was our home away from home.
I've been dreaming about my own craft room lately...the one I don't have. My craft/sewing stuff is scattered in parts of my bedroom and dining room. I wish I had my own room with plenty of space for painting, sewing and crafting of all kinds. As long as we're dreaming, let's dream BIG!

Ahhh, someday. do you have a craft or sewing room?
i love that top one!! One of my daughters is moving out soon and my mind is already designing the craft room, In fact I keep calling it the craft room instead of Kara's room : )
ReplyDeleteMe too!!! I mean, that I dream too, not that I have one like your Grandmother did. I would love a space to create, and it would be dreamy to have one like the ones in those pictures. I have been eyeing some spaces around here, lately, in fact. We have to have a home office so that takes up a logical space.
ReplyDeletesulk...
Ohh, how I wish I had a craft room. My sewing machine is in our guest bedroom, which is the size of a small bathroom....well, maybe not THAT small, but just enough room for the bedroom furniture and my machine. Anytime I think we are going to have a guest, I have to put everything up and away. And there is no place to paint except my kitchen table.
ReplyDeleteNext house I build or buy, will have a room just for ME. The end.
My grandmother had a "sewing room" fit for a professional seamstress, which worked for her because she was just that! Oodles and oodles of fabric! I remember lots of satin and shiny fabrics when I was a kid. She gave my son a handmade pillow when he was born. Ah, to have a craft room like those you showcased! I don't really "craft" but I've always dreamed of having a paint studio equipped with acrylics, canvas stretching equipment, and an old-fashioned kick-wheel. Pottery was my favorite medium in every art class I've taken. That and painting!
ReplyDeleteDitto! I am soooo envious of people who have big huge houses with basement or extra bedroom space for crafting. My Nannie had a large sewing area in her basement laundry room that I remember, just barely. She keeps her stuff in one of her spare bedrooms now, but I remember watching her work at the old house.
ReplyDeleteWe can dream, right? ;)
I love the "CREATE" sign in the 2nd picture...I'm dreaming along with you!

I sew in the eating area of my kitchen and keep all all of my sewing stuff upstairs in one of the bedrooms. That room upstairs could be a sewing room, I just need to turn it into one. I should get off my duff and do it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you one day have the room of your dreams to craft and sew.
Why don't we have basements in Texas? I really wish we did for rooms likes this. I love all the craft rooms you pictured. We have an upstairs gameroom/craft/playroom/sewing room, but I haven't done anything to it yet. You can probably see why I haven't touched it yet because it's a room with many purposes and it's hard. :) I need some partitions or something. :)
ReplyDeleteYour grandmother's craft room sounds so fun. You must have so many great memories of playing in there as a child! I've been dying for a craft room my whole life and I finally have one (or half of one). When we moved to this house, we wanted to have 4 bedrooms so we could use one as a guest room/craft room. I'm currently redecorating in there and it's been so fun to do whatever I want to make a creative space. I'll share it with any guests that we have, but mostly, it's just a place for me to hang out and do my thing : )
