Look!: Needle Book's Craft Studio

5-01-08faborgmain.jpgSince May is Cleaning/Organizing Month, we'd thought we'd share this fantastic craft studio from Needle Book. We particularly love how the painted white storage sets the stage for showcasing the beautiful array of different fabrics, proving that just because you need to store something, you don't necessarily have to hide it.

We feel like it's a given, but we love that the fabric is organized by color.

This would be my ultimate craft room if I ever stopped procrastinting. Wow!

Beautiful!
Anyone have source info for the bookshelves on the right?

My sewing machine is on my dining table -- I need a craft room! Really beautiful space, like a library of craft.

This is such an inviting space! I love open cabinets that allow you to see through the doors!

The bookcase on the right is actually from IKEA! It's the Liatorp series, and I posted about it here:

It's a set of two bookcases and you can attach them together.

Also, this is our dining room/living room and where I do my illustration work as well. Not just a craft room. I wish! But we have a 600-square foot house.. so my sewing machine is on the dining table too.

Your space is lovely.
Where is your china cabinet from? I have been looking for something like this for awhile!

Also- what about your little wicker sewing box? is that a vintage find or something new?

The china cabinet was bought from someone on craigslist, I painted it myself. The little wicker basket was from Goodwill!
