We're excited to share an exclusive makeover with you today! You may remember Alexandra Hedin and her fresh and colorful style from her week of inspiring guest posts last spring. Since then, she's been busy giving her basement laundry room a bright, cheery, and oh-so-functional makeover.

My "craft room" consists of piles and boxes of various materials scattered between several rooms, tucked into drawers and closets in a sad attempt at being organized. So, in an effort to inspire myself and those whose crafting spaces might need a little help, I've rounded up 10 colorful and drool-worthy craft rooms! Enjoy the eye candy, friends.… Continue Reading
"I make things out of other things". That's how Holly Magner describes the mission of GroveCraft, her one-woman handmade apparel company. Magner's main products are felted mittens and unique bicycling hats, both of which she produces at home in her studio. Though it's not mass production, there's a lot of stitching involved, with runs of hats or mittens sometimes numbering in the hundreds. As a result, Magner's workspace is designed to be… Continue Reading
Gwen Hauser is an atelier-trained painter; lots of classical training on how to capture light, get perfect skin tones, and do things the right way. And for a long time, that perfectionism was what stifled her creativity.
"It was suffocating," she says. "I'm a mess when I work. I like things visually chaotic, and I needed the freedom to strip my art down to the core and make mistakes." You wouldn't know if from her paintings,… Continue Reading

Throughout the month of January, we're featuring an inspiring office or workspace in a series we're calling… Continue Reading
At only 500 square feet, this East Village studio apartment may be low on space, but it's high on… Continue Reading
Le Papier Studio makes modern and elegant silhouette creations, and recently, owner Vana Chupp upgraded from working at home to a brand new studio and office space. And from the looks of it, she totally nailed it.
Bright, airy, well-organization, and seemingly incredibly functional. "Everything has it's space which make the studio look fairly organized most of the time (something I've always struggled with working from home). You might remember my original posts, here and here about my home office? Aaron custom built my work area - which I love - but as the business kept growing, so did the need for more space. I never thought I would enjoy so much working outside the home - but so far, this has proven to be the best decision I ever made. Not only am I super productive during the time I am in the studio, but I get to BE with my family when I am… Continue Reading
Sarah and her boo got their hands on a 1963 Airstream trailer and turned it into an un-freakin'-believable workspace. Three words: I WANT… Continue Reading
This is what Corey and his wife's backyard looked like one snowy winter. And this is what their backyard looks like now,… Continue Reading
Kitchen and bathroom makeovers sort of grab my attention, but garage, basement and shed makeovers stop me dead in my surfing tracks. In fact, this detached two car garage turned studio/office has me looking at my "dumpy" garage with new hope. After the conversion, the remodel increased the garage to include a bathroom, a loft and a roof deck. See the slick and modern results. … Continue Reading
There's not too many things I geek out about, but peeking inside creative spaces of artists, writers, and musicians I adore is near top that very short list. Case-in-point: this inspiring look inside the studio of Boston-based ceramicist Jill Rosenwald , the artist behind Switch.

I'm guessing the people that belong to these craft rooms/studios can't help but be creative just by walking into them! No fancy set ups or special doo-dads. Just lovely rooms with simple equipment.… Continue Reading
Artist Shannon Christensen decided to turn her 2-stall garage into an art studio. The outcome suggests it was an excellent idea! Just take a look:

Holiday excitement has been replaced with the urge to purge, cleaning out cabinets and closets that… Continue Reading
The sewing studio is finally finished. I've posted photos of different angles of the room. This room measures 12' x 20'. I brought the rocker in for two of the sewing moms who have newborns. On the other side of the table on the left is a room where the heavy duty work gets done like painting, upholstering, photographing projects and light construction. There is one more room to the… Continue Reading
I love other people's offices and studios and Emily, artist and creator of The Black Apple has a studio that's so pretty it makes my paws all sweaty. Behold!
She's managed to fit all kinds of (awesome) stuff into a not very large space without making it look cramped. She also has some very steal/borrow-able idea's; like the oilcloth topper on her painting and drawing table and those uber-cute kid… Continue Reading
I live in a state where every other person owns a cabin somewhere. Usually ‘Up North’, which refers to Minnesota’s lake country. Some are little one-room shacks; some look like homes you’d seen in any suburb across America. Some have running water, some don’t. None that I’ve seen, however, look like the Metro Cabin. What a pity.
This transportable, pre-fab structure can be assembled by 2 people in about 3… Continue Reading
Here's a sneak peak of the Knotty Pine re-do. Cleanup and reorganization is so tedious until you get immersed in feeling all smug and self-righteous with your tidiness and order. There was much to be learned from this DIY undertaking. Complete planning instead of impulsive diving in was the best move I made. Perseverence using new equipment (the spray painter) was well worth it in time… Continue Reading
So, Jennifer Perkins is my I-don't-care-what-you-make-I-will-always-love-you craft crush. I'll never copy any of her designs, make any of the projects featured on Craft Lab, and don't have much use for Naughty Secretary Club jewelry. But I don't care. I love her...especially when she says 'loverly.'
Modish interviewed Jennifer about her own handmade space, her jewelry studio in Austin, TX. All the multidrawer organizers make it clear… Continue Reading
