Craft Room - Clients Home - Gift Wrap Center

Feb 27

My brother,

Jered and his wife Jaycee

hired me to come into their home and create some organizational solutions for many spaces in their home.

We actually worked as a TEAM, putting in some really long hours, accomplishing a TON in just a few days. I think I failed to mention the fact that we were working as a

TEAM

back in that laundry room post. I apologize, Jered & Jaycee! They worked SO HARD! and I think we made a pretty great team :) If you missed their laundry post, you can view it {

Another space that

we redid

was the craft room/gift wrapping room.

I'm posting this room in 2 segments:

'the gift wrap center' and 'the craft supply center'

{yeah, that's how much is packed into this tiny room - it requires two posts.}

Jaycee emailed me with her desires for this room. She says:

"I envision this place to be a small room with

wrapping paper, ribbons,

sewing machine, scissors, glue gun, wire and other crafty things that can be easily accessible. I want a place that I can run into to wrap a gift quickly, or somewhere that I can do a craft and if I need to leave it out I can just close the door. Maybe peg boards? It also houses the printer. "

This is PART 1 of the finished room:

clients home

Taking into consideration the part of Jaycee's email regarding the wrapping paper & ribbon, this is the gift wrap center that was created.

Back in the

laundry room post

, I told you to remember that Ikea shelf? This is it, folks! By removing some of the shelves and adding some cafe curtain rods we turned it into a tissue paper and ribbon holder. I love using things within a persons home, and creating a whole new purpose for it.

This is what the space looked like before:

Behind that tiny door is attic space, where most of the supplies were.

FIRST:

we created a place for wrapping paper:

After spray painting a couple pieces of 1 x 2 wood, Jered attached them to the wall

and attached cafe curtain rods {which remove easily} to hold the rolls of paper.

A few necessities hanging nearby.

WE ALSO

created a place for tissue paper and ribbon, wrapping the tissue paper on child size clothes hangers, as Jaycee wanted to be able to grab a piece of tissue paper easily and didn't want it tucked away inside a box. We also added rows of those same cafe curtain rods to hold spools of ribbon.
