We have one of those awkward rooms areas in our home that’s hard to figure out what to do with.

I know all rooms areas need to have a purpose.  It’s purpose has been the landing at the top of the stairs, or how you get into the two guest rooms, or what you walk through to get to the balcony.

Now the time has come to define the room area.  Craft ROOM!  It’ll no longer be an area.  I will follow my 9 simple steps.

Below is the floor plan, move you mouse over the drawing to see the computer version.

Below are pictures of the area room.

HomaStyleDecoratingBlogCraftRoom2This wall has a display of our vacation pictures.  I like the display and may keep it in this location…humm???

HomaStyleDecoratingBlogCraftRoom5This chair may find another location.  The huge cabinet on the right is “the box”…really.  It says so on the back!  I made this cabinet 13 1/2 years ago to hide one of those giant TVs.  I has not held a TV for the last 9 years.

HomaStyleDecoratingBlogCraftRoom4Being honest this is the inside of “the box,” for the last 9 years it’s held junk!

Here an old grainy picture of “the box” when it housed the giant TV.  Move you mouse over the picture to see “the box” with the doors open.

I’m adding so many pictures of “the box” cause I plan to rework it to hold craft supplies.

Follow along with the next step, budget…yuck!
