I mean. Gorgeous, right?
Haha. So, it’s a work in progress. Or, more accurately, a work about to be in progress. I was digging through boxes this morning looking for crayons and paper for my kids, and decided to snap a few pictures to share with you all. So, these are obviously beautifully staged.
Anyway – I know this room is going to be awesome when it is all set up, but it presents quite a few challenges. First of all, the shape: it is long and skinny.
Secondly, the room has very little wall space. It is basically a sun room off of the dining area and family room on the back of the house, which means the small room has four windows and two sliding doors.
This is the view of the room from the kitchen/dining area.
What do you all think? Any suggestions on how to organize the space? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Can't wait to see what you do with it! Those built in paper shelves are amazing!

I think all of that light looks great (our craft room is in a basement ;)) and those paper shelves are awesome! Figuring out where to put your desk seems the hardest. I think I would try a desk facing the windows to the outside, maybe have a narrow cork board or some of your quotes on the small wall between the two sets of windows? It would be nice to have that light falling on your workspace…

I thnk I would embrace the lack of wall area and install storage units (shelves and cupboards) all down the centre of the room, with a nice strong wooden top across the lot to give you acres of workspace. I would have that overhanging the units so that you could sit wherever appropriate for the task at hand using stools. If possible I would also include a sink in the centre unit (plumbing

Holy crap, I am drooling over all that natural light! You are going to make it look amazing! I can't wait to see!

Definitely a unique space, but I think it has some seriously fun potential! And that quote wall has to come back… maybe it's just reinvented… like quote curtains or garland quotes hanging from the ceiling?! I have no doubt you'll make it amazing regardless! Good luck settling in!

That is an incredible space to work with! I am SO jealous! I can't wait to see how you put the space together!

That built-in paper storage shelving is MONEY. It's making me realize that it's exactly what I need in my life. Such a perfect space for crafting! Immediately I thought all the natural light is going to be so handy haha.

I really like this space! We have a sunroom of sorts too and my husband suggested I make it into a craft room. I'll be following along your progress! I can't believe you had to leave your old craft room that you just finished though…

That natural light!! I would kill for that much light in my *soon to be* craft room/office for photos! Can't wait to see how it turns out 🙂
Marni @ Haberdashery Fun says
Agh, looks like my sewing room :). Well, the good news is that you HAVE AWESOME LIGHT!! 🙂

What a room! Quick idea on the quote wall. What about the space on the right under the window? Kind of like a half wall treatment. Even if you had to put a shelf in front of the area it could still pop and look amazing.
