When I first saw the office in our house, I figured it would be great for both computer work and crafting. After all, the previous owners had turned an entire walk-in closet into desk and countertop space:

Turns out, though, that paperwork and gaming do not mix well with crafting. In January I started an on-line class to get me back into paper flower making and I realized just how much I wanted my own separate space for it. Fortunately, I have a 4-1/2 x 5 foot storage room off the back porch. I’ve spent the last few days switching paper good supplies out and crafting supplies in.
Here’s the new crafting space:

The room is so small that it doesn’t take much to warm it up. Not sure yet what I will do in the heat of the summer, but I’m sure I will figure something out.
Just to make sure I don’t burn the place down by leaving the heater or my glue gun on, I have all the electrical stuff on a timer. Also, there is a sprinkler head in this little storage room.
My one splurge for this new space was a desk with adjustable height. I spend so much time sitting in front of my computer that I thought it would be nice to be able to stand to do some of my crafting. The desk raises and lowers at the the touch of a button.

I still have some arranging to do and I might hang pictures or put up a few shelves, but so far I am very happy with the way this is working out. I am getting a lot of flowers made!
Very cool
