Craft Room 

2013

Thomasville Cabinetry

This client came to me with a blank slate.  She had just had plans drawn from a residential architect and needed to create the craft room she had always wanted.  Everything she had collected over the years had been in storage boxes for way too long.  Her boxes which were hidden in the attic, lacked the display and organization that they deserved!  Those of you who are avid craftspeople completely understand her dilemma!

Concepts:

-To provide tons of storage of different types for maximum organization capability

-Showcase decorative baskets and accessories which inspire her creativity

-Feature a large amount of counter space for quilting and large machinery

My solution to the storage dilemma without making the space feel cluttered with cabinets and more cabinets, was for each wall to have visual interest while maximizing storage space.  As you walk into the room, on the left side we feature a desk area with decorative bookshelves, miniature drawers for small items, wall space large enough for a cork board or other display, and a knee space area for a laptop or scrapbooking activity. 

In the center of the room is a large "kitchen size" island for my client's large quilting equipment.  The use of four large cabinets with roll out trays and shelves  underneath the massive countertop work space, allows her to store this large machinery without taking away from the visual appeal of the space.

On the wall to the right, we created an organizer's haven!  From tall bookcases, to floating shelves to showcase her decorative baskets and stacks of fabric.  With base cabinetry featuring a blind corner lazy susan cabinet, to more drawers, more shelves!

And of course, how can we forget the beautiful Thomasville Whiskey Black finish on Cherry Wood Cabinetry, and Crema Bordeaux Granite countertops.  Not too often do you oooh and ahh over a craft room countertop....but this one sure does deserve it.
