SO as mentioned, I AM MOST THRILLED WITH THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IT COST ME AROUND $24.00 BUCKS TOTAL!!! WHY "?" because I shopped my home! YEP' that good Ol' saying "Use what you have!" I cleaned and re-furbished pickle jars wrapped in rope, baby food jars to hold buttons and brads, I used what I had. I also covered my huge craft table in a cut to fit hemmed drop "flannel" cloth, that I hot glued to the table using velcro.
The white cubby shelf holding recycled baby food jars, my grandfather made me and I have had it for several years.I added paper to the back splash and filled it with the baby food jars.

I LOVE LOOKING at all the stuff and colors it truly inspires me. Not to mention looking at my children whom also inspire me.I created this space because I don't have a spare craft room. THIS SO WORKS. Its a fairly large cubby space in our master bedroom. So I just really want you all to know, that you don't have to feel bad if you don't have a spare room for your crafting space. You can use a closet, a nook, a corner of a room, etc.
covering my eyes in shame....
HERE IS THE DREADED BEFORE
Sighhhhh....
AFTER
and I am sure as most things go for me... I will keep tweaking things until I feel its flawless. ;)
I covered a frame I had in the home with rolled rosettes that were hot glued on.
and I re-furbed the mannequin. She is to hang scissors, tape measures, etc.
-you can also find the cute {Keep calm and get your craft on} sign at FunkyPolkadot Giraffe here
and the cute "cre.ate" vinyl from Say it on the wall here.
-the burlap tags that have sew on it, bulletin sticky board, mini wrapped canvases, calender with chalk paper header, and the cubby back splash paper are all from Canvas Corp
THANK YOU MUCH for stopping in

Very cool Jen. Your place before was (uhhhh not so inspiring), but your after is INCREDIBLE, and I can't believe you did it for practically nothing, WOW.
What did you do for that huge desk? I love it.
The entire wall is covered in cuteness, I just love how fun, bright, and happy it makes me.
You did a great job girl.
Oh and I love the new blog design, it's perfect.

I love this space! What a great tranformation for $20!
FAB-U-LESS! How on earth were you able to create your space for $20.00? Unheard of! Truly inspiring!
Looks great! Love the colorfulness! I can't wait for my craft room to be finished!
Jen
It looks so fun and inspirational! Love your blog changes too!
Jo-Anna
Wow this looks fantastic!
Greetings Sofieke
Precious!
That is awesome! I love it all - especially the price!! I'm sure you will have a lot of fun using that space. :)
How's the new baby doing? I'm not sure if I ever got around to telling you that I had mine on April 27. A boy. :) xoxo
This is SO pretty! But my favorite part about it is its functionality - the big table. I finally have my own craft room but because my table it only two feet by two feet, it doesn't help much, and I usually end up spreading out across the house anyway. That table will be so useful to have!
love how this turned out! so bright and colorful and fun :)
Wow! It looks awesome! Can you come do my space next :)
So jealous!! I love it.
It looks awesome.
Great job! And a $20 budget...you can't beat that! It is such a happy space.
Oh my gosh! It looks so great! I LOVE it, especially compared to the before.. and only on a $20 budget, that rocks! :) It totally makes me want to go create! haha
i looove this and think you did such a great job! it's inspiring for sure because i have been attempting to put together a craft room at LAST too!

i'm pretty sure you should display one of your trolls in the shelves for old times sake - haha! i used to collect those too :)
Great Job! I love the table cover and bunting!
Oh wow wow WOW! This is amazing! I too only have room for a space in my bedroom and this is SO inspiring to me!! Thanks so much for sharing. :) I am pinning this NOW!
A few things: I love your new header! Troll dolls - HAA! Love it :) I originally read "cubby in our bedroom" as "cubby in our bathroom" and thought "What an odd space" before I reread. And finally--I love the space!!!! Great job :)
Awesome transformation!!
Jen, this rocks my socks off! I actually re-pinned one of the pictures yesterday before realizing it was yours! Awesome, awesome job! Want to come to Denmark and help my sad craft area?
It's beautiful! I love all the little details and the colors! Such a happy place! Thanks so much for sharing!
It's fantastic Jen! So cheerful! I love all the splashes of color...and that table skirt is fantastic! :)
Just loooove your craft space!!! I wouldn't want to leave it! So cute.

Wow, I feel inspired to craft just by looking at your room! It's super cute and colorful, which is in itself inspiring. Thanks for sharing it.
Dreamy :) My new found inspiration for decorating my Craft Room!!
This is so stinking great!!!! I'm so jealous, my craft room is like the arm pit of our house! This motivates me to do something about it already :D
You have such a talent to take something plain, and make it WOW. You inspire me!
Oh my gosh looks SOO amazing! You are so talented! I love how it turned out! Especially for 20 bucks! woo!
Awesome nook! You prove that you don't need alot of space to make a craft area really pop. I love the SEW tags on the wall. Very cute and colorful!
Pure delicious awesomeness! Your space is ah.mazing! I love your whole approach to using items from around your house as much as possible: smart and sexy. *LOVE*
Awesome!!! And the blog design, too freakin' fabulous too!
I love that you use a bench at your craft table. How easy that makes it to quickly move around.
Your space is inspiring. Great job!
