I have finally finished unpacking my new craft room. I am very excited to have a whole room to myself. We moved farther out in Brooklyn to get more space. The apartment has really beautiful light which also will make for better picture taking! The last few weeks were crazy. I got picked for a jury, packed up and cleaned the old place, moved, did taxes and now we are unpacking the new place. But slowly but surely we are making progress!
I repainted the old table I use as a desk in glossy light grey. I also put up shelves and brackets from Ikea I painted in a similar matte grey. All in all, I'm very happy with the result and need to get crafting!
your new studio looks fantastic! i would never want to leave. happy crafting!

Will you come over and help me with my new office/craft room? I LOVE yours! Where did you get those spool wall mounts? and the little cubby shelves? I could get really crafty with that kind of organization. Thanks!

Your studio looks like the most inviting space to be creative, roll your sleeves up, and get crafting. We're going to be moving in a month and I'm dreading it — good luck with unpacking!

What a wonderful new studio! And such big windows too! It must really be wonderful to have a space of your own after having worked in tighter quarters for so long. Say, I have a question about your sewing machine. What kind do you use? Do you love it?

Your space looks wonderful! You deserve to have a nice space to work in. I was so stoked to see you in Martha, then I read that you don't work there any more! What are you doing now? Are you working freelance? on your own? I love following your story. Good luck with all you do.

Your new studio looks wonderful! I love the fabric cubbies. Do you wash all those fabrics before you organize them?

Oh Wow. Just loving all that space, all the organization, and all the options! It's sort of like looking in the window at a candy store and trying to decide what you're going to taste first...
Congrats on a successful move, Laura, and thanks for sharing such a fun look at the Craft Room! Can't wait to see what comes next...

I am so very jealous of your craft room! It's absolutely GORGEOUS! I wish I had enough room for a whole room devoted to crafting!
It's really lovely.
