From having an entire room (to only 16 square feet to work in), it matters most that you have a zone carved out for yourself to craft. It can be one wall of a room or a corner of another--the only requirement is having your items in one spot. Supplies can be grouped together by using display cabinets, repurposed tins or hanging fruit baskets--we love it all. It also helps to paint your craft zone, especially if you don't have one entire room devoted to housing it all. That way, your crafting area acts like an entirely different space. After that, by adding decor and repurposing items, your space will mix nicely with the rest of your home.

I'm fortunate enough to have my own art studio (see it on my blog) but any of these would make me very happy. The use of color really is great in all of these spaces.

You know, when I see spaces like this, my first thought is, 'How in the world do you dust it?' Sure, they're cute an all, but no one shows them (or the kitchens, the shelves, the tiny balconies, etc.) the next week when the grime, splashes, dirt, 'n' all make these spaces far less appealing.
I always think, 'What will it take to maintain this?' before I sign on to an attractive idea.
