.... and after!! Now it's all done, I thought you might like to see some pics of my finished room. It was originally my daughter's bedroom, when we moved here over a decade ago, then it was a spare bedroom, and it became my craftroom in Aug 2008. Here's a picture I took back then, just after getting my desk and moving my stuff in:
See that yellow wall with the daisy on it to the right of the photo - that's the side of the awful old built-in wardrobe that we ripped out and that the carpenter replaced with this wonderful thing:
It holds a gazillion books, and extends over the doorframe for even more. Look, some spaces are even empty - room for more books, yahoo!!
And here's the craft end of the room, the left side with my Expedit unit and the right side with my lovely cow-pat green walls!!:
You can see here how tiny the room is - but it's so handy, I can just swivel round and grab stuff from the drawers and shelves without lifting my bum off the seat, instead of rummaging around in the boxes full of stuff that were piled on the floor and windowsill!!!
And here's a pic of me (in my glamorous decorating clothes!!!) doing the mural, and the finished job:
Hope you enjoyed the tour!!

Julie, your room is so pretty, love the green and white. Timi xx
OMG Julie! Can I move in there! It's fabulous.I love everything. My room is small too so I totally know what you mean about being able to turn around and being able to reach things but it's gorgeous and I'm SO jealous!
Hi Julie,
So glad to see you finished your craft room! Everything looks great - especially that book shelf. Funnily enough, I got the exact same desk and love the size!
I'm very bad ... I still haven't moved all my stuff into my new craft room yet - now I'm crafting between two rooms! You are happily on your seat while I'm commuting across the landing! :-)
Hugs Lily
Gorgeous work space, love the mellow colours and lots of great storage. Your outfit is very becoming lol.

Loved seeing the before and after photos. Thanks for sharing. I am also using my Son's old bedroom for crafting, and in the process of claiming it as my own!
Fantastic to see the new craft room. It is so organised and bright. Cow Pat green??? I thought they were brown! Or maybe that's the point....anyway thanks for the tour and enjoy. Carol xox
LOVE your craft room Julie and the mural finishes it off perfectly... what a fantastic idea.
Enjoy!!
Its lovely!!!! You did a great job!!! Hope you have many peaceful hours in that room now ;-)
Wow Julie I really love it - you have worked the space girl! Great colour too LMAO at cow pat green. Great inspiration mural! You must be chuffed!
Oh it's just wonderful Julie! I love the wall art. Enjoy! x
Oh wow Julie, that is stunning. You must love all the extra shelves. ADORE the wall colour... fab. Love how you did the mural - I thought it was vinyl art ... cool idea.
Oh, what a beautiful and inspiring craft room! Than you for sharing. I moved my craft room from our large guest bedroom to the tiny baby room (swapped rooms with my twin daughters). No one believed I could squish all that stuff into this tiny room. They didn't realize that it is a pain to constantly get up and walk across a room for a sheet of paper, embellie, etc. Like you, I can (mostly) just swivel my chair to reach what I need. So much more fun to craft this way :)
Your room looks like a magazine pic. Great paint color and your "Oh well" looks fantastic!
Julie, your room looks fantastic! You must be delighted with it!! As my mother would say - you won't know yourself!!!
Please do tell, what is the green colour you've used? I love it.
Wishing you many productive hours of crafting and creating there.
