So I guess this whole baby thing is turning out pretty well. Our new house is pretty cool, but the best thing about it? I get a whole room JUST for making crafts!!! How awesome is that? There is this room in the basement that used to be the laundry room before they moved the laundry room upstairs. So it’s even got a couple of sinks which is perfect.
And you know what else? Because my mom and dad hired Hailey and Elwin to decorate our new house, they are going help me decorate my craft room too! How many kids get to have professional designers come and design their craft room?
I am so pumped! Especially with all the cool pieces from the Creative Studio Theme that are in the W Shop!
Hailey said that we could try it a few different ways and then I could decide which one I liked best, so Hailey designed it one way, Elwin did another design and then the three of us worked together to come up with a third design.
This is the room that I helped with. I really love the new Creative Studio Theme so I wanted to use everything! I think the blue and white walls look so funky. We created several different work stations in each corner. We decided to put the Art Easel and Station by the sinks, and then in one corner created a Pottery area with the Potter’s Wheel and Kiln Oven. In the opposite corner we used the Fashion Sewing Machine and Fashion Mannequin, and Crafty Kimmy’s Work Station makes the perfect desk for me.
And here is what Hailey came up with:
Hailey wanted to warm up the room a little because basements tend to be pretty grey and cool. She also thought that I should have a big crafting table in the middle, where I could work with my friends when they came over. That’s a great idea! Around the outside of the room she placed my crafting supplies and work stations. In one corner are my Fashion Sewing Machine and Fashion Fabric Rolls, in another corner my Art Easel and Station, and there’s a Potter’s Wheel and Kiln Oven on the other side. I do think it’s cozy and inviting, don’t you?
Elwin really liked the cool blue of the walls before. He said that the light walls made a great background for my artwork and gave it a really gallery feel, especially when combined with the Creative Studio Flooring. Elwin added a comfortable seating area where I could hand out with my friends, using the new Music Note Sofa and Chair from the Creative Studio Theme. He also added a cool focal point with the Art Paint Palette Rug. I like the feeling of space created by the bright walls and the open furniture arrangement.
But now that the designs are all done, I just can’t decide which one I like best. What do you think?
I like the room that Roberta helped design. I like the seating in E’s and the table in H’s but if I could only pic one it would have to be Roberta’s design. So happy to finally see it. Let us know which one you decide on. *Robyn*
i say #2 i love the walls and the way its set up looks really good
I like the first and third one. But i think you should have a table where you can do crafts with your crafts with your friends when they come over!!! :mrgreen:
I like the way the first one flows but I think you need to add the sofa, chair and another table so that there will be space if your friends are crafting with you. Plus – the sofa would be a great place for you to sit if you are working on small neat items like sewing on buttons. I personally love to curl up in the corner of my comfy couch when I’m doing simple mending. You might want to add a boom box or radio to for some mood music while you craft.
I think Hailey’s design is the best one. Has anyone else noticed Elwin’s design has something blocking the door?
I like the first and the second room.
My favourite is Hailey’s. I think it’s warm and tidy, and I like the table and chairs in the middle. Werallunique☺☻♥♪♫☼ ;) :)
I like the 3rd one best.
I think the second one is the most practical and has more work space but really they are all great – I have made a craftroom myself and my little pet simply loves it – especially the moving material rolls – thanks for the theme – super !
I like opinion one, opinions two and three are just too crammed full! The second opinion, where the table is covering the door, how do you get in? And on opinion three, I love the chairs and tables in the middle for lots of friends, but if the friends come to visit to make crafts they won’t have much room to walk around, so I think opinion one would suit you the best!-Your friend, HavenHoneyBee
