Makeover - From Cluttered to Multi Purpose craft Room

6/23/2019

0 Comments

 
The problem:  Sun room serves two purposes: a craft room and lounge area. It was cluttered, did not have enough storage, space, or working areas. It lacked places to work and space to just sit and relax.

​​Janise's Solution: Create a multipurpose room room that serves as a craft studio and lounge area.  To create double purpose storage areas, seating, and works spaces  that are functional and stylish.  Work with owner to identify room style and up-cycle and re-purpose as much as possible.

Style: owner's chosen style is retro / eclectic vintage
Transformations:  
  • Created 2 different spaces in one room 1) crafting work area and 2) sitting lounge area

    • open work space for multiple people with seating
      • up-cycled vintage kitchen table top, added vintage manual sewing base as legs -
