This craft room is a quilters dream! A storage closet directly off the craft room was built out with shelving to accommodate fabric storage. This custom home was designed and built by Meadowlark Design+Build in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Photography by Joshua Caldwell.

An existing spare room was used to create a sewing room. By creating a contemporary and very functional design we also created organization and enough space to spread out and work on projects. An existing closet was outfitted with cedar lining to organize and store all fabric. We centrally located the client’s sewing machine with a cut-out in the countertop for hydraulic lift hardware. Extra deep work surface and lots of space on either side was provided with knee space below the whole area. The peninsula with soft edges is easy to work around while sitting down or standing. Storage for large items was provided in deep base drawers and for small items in easily accessible small drawers along the backsplash. Wall units project proud of shallower shelving to create visual interest and variations in depth for functional storage. Peg board on the walls is for hanging storage of threads (easily visible) and cork board on the backsplash. Backsplash lighting was included for the work area. We chose a Chemsurf laminate countertop for durability and the white colour was chosen so as to not interfere/ distract from true fabric and thread colours. Simple cabinetry with slab doors include recessed round metal hardware, so fabric does not snag. Finally, we chose a feminine colour scheme. Donna Griffith Photography

Offen, wenn man sie braucht. Zu, wenn man mal keine Lust hat, gleich aufzuräumen. Die Kitchenette mit Fronten in fröhlichem Curry vereint kompakte Funktionalität, eine wohnliche Wirkung und uneingeschränktes Kochvergnügen – auch in kleinen Räumen oder Büros. Hinter den Einschubtüren lassen sich Küchengeräte und Stauraum perfekt verstecken und auch die Nische bleibt nicht ungenutzt, dem beleuchteten Nischenpaneel zur Aufbewahrung von Kräutern und Co. sei Dank. Open when it is needed, shut if you can‘t be bothered to tidy up right away. The kitchenette with fronts in bright curry combines compact functionality, a homely feel and unlimited cooking pleasure – also in small rooms or offices. Behind the retractable doors, there is enough space to hide kitchen appliances and other things and, thanks to the illuminated recess profile for herbs and other things, also the recess does not remain unused.

Storage for craft supplies included mail and magazine slots, open shelves for baskets, dowel rods for wrapping paper and ribbon, pencil and scissor boxes, poster board, and over-sized rolls. Photos bykerricrozier@gmail.com

When it comes to craft supplies, it can be a challenge to keep everything well organized. One thing that Chelsea can't get enough of is the wire basket. " I just can't seem to get rid of [them]', she explains. "I have way more than I need at the moment, but I can't bare to part with them because they can be so handy". In her upstairs craft room, she uses them to contain fabric samples as well as other goods, such as card stock and small boxes. Photo: Adrienne DeRosa Photography © 2014 Houzz

The homeowner wanted to move the desk area under the stairs to utilize the whole space available for the kitchen. This made it possible to relocate the refrigerator, allowing the cooktop and mantle to be the standalone focal point of the kitchen. The simple white backsplash, pendant lights, and island with built-in bookshelves give this kitchen the feel of tradition without being overbearing.
