Welcome to my basement craft area. When we first moved into the farmhouse this area was originally the laundry room. After enclosing a seldom used side porch for a new laundry area and powder room I had space for a craft area. The yellow cabinets were from the home of my husband's employer. They were having extensive remodeling done and wanted rid of these 1950's cabinets. The cabinets were made by General Electric. I never knew GE made cabinets...I thought they only made appliances. One thing I didn't like about the basement was the fact that you could see the electrical panel, water pump, etc. I wanted a way to disguise these areas so I took some curtains that my friend Beth no longer needed and hung them up. It still gives you easy access to these items...I'm just happy you can't see them any longer. The dresser belonged to my dh's grandfather. 
I have some of my craft supplies organized in canning jars. I like the fact that you can look in them and see what's inside. I also have craft books handy, too. I am lucky enough to have two sets of metal cabinets. The second set has some projects that I'm working on. I have a shelf that I need to finish painting, a small wooden cabinet that needs to be sanded and painted for the powder room, and a set of metal plate racks that I want to spray paint black for my kitchen walls. As Kelli would say, UFO's!

These cabinets are great for storage...and I'm all about storage and organization. I can't tell you the thrill I get cleaning things out and reorganizing them.
Thanks for stopping by!
What I would do for a craft area like you have! It is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour craft area is so nice and neat and organized!! It's a lovely place to work. ♥
ReplyDeleteGreat craft area. I love the storage and how it is being used. I saw your comment over at Kelli's blog and I loved your name. I could just hear Marilla saying Kim is a very sensible name. =)
ReplyDeleteWow, you have a great craft area-I am jealous! I knew that GE made cabinets because my friend had some in the old house they bought, and they were metal so they will last forever. Looks like a bright, well lit area to be creative.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great craft space you have! I love your yellow cabinets.
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE your craft area! All those cupboards and the nice table! I could get alot of work done on my UFO's. :0)

Thank you, beachy, lynda, marci, willzmom, deb, kelli, sandy, clarice and allison for commenting on my craft area. I feel so blessed to have a craft area...glad you enjoyed looking at the pictures.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I am soooo jealous that you have a basement! There are no basements in Phoenix. And then to have a craft room in a basement!! Oh my gosh, I would be in heaven!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you used curtains to hide the pipes and stuff... great idea! So warm and cozy!
And I love your vintage cabinets and counter top!
Thanks for visiting Linda. Our other home did not have a basement...I wonder now how we managed without one.
