Bachman Spring Ideas House- End of the Tour- The Craft Room...

 

 Today I'll share with you last room on the Spring Bachman's Ideas House tour~ the Craft Room!  If you are just joining us, there are five previous posts that feature all the other rooms, full of great ideas- please stop by and visit them!  The craft room was my personal favorite part of the house, so bright and cheery, and a dedicated place to work and create!  The workspace was centered in the room with fun covered stools...



There was a fun colorful rug under the workspace created by taping together six small throw rugs!   It had a great patchwork look!


 Look at this fun aluminum lazy susan and vintage aquarium for storage...


I love these shelves holding all sorts of goodies...


look at this ribbon storage on a old lamp...


and the old medical jars for supplies!


There were two great idea boards- a vintage gate, and an old screen door back with cork...



There was a great organized storage closet...


and a rolling cart for at-hand storage.


Along one wall, there was a fabulous old oilcloth store display being used to hold ribbons and decorative papers...


 I loved the fun old wood post with funnels attached for string dispensing!



Looks like a room where I could have fun!  Well, that's it!  Hope you enjoyed the tour and took away a few ideas and inspiration for your own spaces!  This idea house will be open until May 2 and the Summer house will be June 3-13.  The fall show will be Sept 16-26, so if any of you are traveling to the Twin Cities for Junk Bonanza or The Creative Connection Event you'll be able to visit that one!  Thanks for all your great comments~ they are SO appreciated!  Until next time...

  3. Oh wow- I can see why this is your favorite room in the house.
    I loved everything about this room from that big work table with those adorable rugs underneath- to all the neat things they used to organize and put crafting at your fingertips. The screen door cork board, and funnel tree were great ideas,too.
    Thanks Linda, for hosting a virtual tour of this lovely house!

  7. Using a lamp for ribbons is such a fun idea. I wouldn't mind having the oil cloth display either. Funnels are exactly where my string is stored.

  8. That was so cool! Love the ribbons on the lamp, the rugs taped together, the lazy susan... I actually have a gate on the wall of mine (but I like theirs better!). I am off to look for a discarded lamp... LOL! Thanks for all the great ideas!

  22. Hi-
    I'm so excited to hear you plan to attend the AA/JMS event. Do you know which day you're planning to come? I'd love to meet you, but I will be bringing Janis a few places while she's here from Canada to show her around the metro area and take her to some good haunts, so don't want to miss seeing other members like you either.
    Too funny about the Bachmans tour you did online. Great minds think alike. :) I was going to do the same thing, but then didn't as I was afraid they might forbid the photography next time if it got out that I had done the blog posts online, so then I didn't post them. I was happy to see I wasn't the only one that was overwhelemed with the wonderful ideas and took lots of photos too. lol However, I did see a few things on your blog post that I didn't notice while on the actual tour. I just love this event and plan to attend every single one they do in the future. What a great idea house this was.
    See you next week hopefully. I didn't realize you were a MN gal. I also sell a JB, so will see you then too.
