Limited Wall Space Craftroom- Need Ideas

[chemteacher]

My craft room is in my bonus room above my garage. I have sloped ceilings so I have limited wall space. I have not seen any ideas in the gallery for wallless storage for the entire room. I would love to redecorate it. I am currently using a mis-match of stuff for storage. I have pictures in my gallery. Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Thanks!!!!

I don't know if I can explain this right:

How about putting shelves/storage space under the eves? I've seen it done and it really utilizes the dead space.

You actually have more wall space than me. I'd love your problem. Anyway, from looking at your pictures, why not get some kitchen lower cabinets and put a top on it for extra storage. Then you can use it for your crafting table instead of what you are using.

I like the idea of using the space under the eaves for shelves and drawers - could also have doors to cover the shelves.

My area is in what we call the "work room" (and then laugh) which is in the unfinished part of our lower level (basement). I have an old kitchen table that is wide so I can put those plastic storage drawers along the back and work in front of them.

I also have an inexpensive five shelf bookcase (Sauder) that holds a ton of stuff. They also make ones with doors you can close for a neater appearance.

This room is also my sewing area and substitute attic - so it is NOT pretty. I have no stamping stuff on the walls - that's reserved for the attic stuff. I would love to have your bonus room. Good luck!

I wish I have that much space for my stamping stuff!

When I read attic, I immediately thought of an article in a recent Martha Stewart Living. She has her craft room in her attic.. She, of course IS Martha Stewart.. but I'm sure you could "steal" some ideas from her craft room in the attic.. I notice she has lots of drawers.. they are really more handy than shelves on walls.. cos you don't even have to get off your chair to get your stuff!

Thanks to all the ladies that have responded. Yes I am very lucky to have the space that I Have. I also use the room for quilting/sewing which has been pushed to the side for a few years now. In addition to the crafting, I have my PC up in the room and all my school books. I use it as an office and I tutor online to pay for my addiction to my paper craft. I just hate the way the room looks. I do have a little more "plastic" storage and a cutting table so the room is a little different than in the pictures. I have a 12 x 12 paper storage unit, a 4 drawer sterilite plastic storage under a table, etc. It's just not "pretty". I love these rooms where all the cabinets are white and everything has a neat little spot. Will my room ever look like that? I doubt it...but a girl can dream!

Where did you get the little white boxes with silver handles? They are all stacked on top of each other. Understand?

I think you mean the ones that have 2 stacked next to 2 more stacked so it looks like 4? This is a 4 drawer storage unit that I got at target. They also have them at Mikes

I was just looking at the Martha site. Now I have a smokin' craft room but that is crazy! I would be afraid to do anything in there because I might mess it up.
