Like a lot of other home artists I had to create my own personal space for crafting. We don't all have actual studios. A lot of us use spare bedrooms or the corner of our dining rooms! I'm very lucky that we have a large basement and I was pretty much able to grab most of the usable space (thanks, honey!). It's my own little corner of the world, so to speak. It isn't perfect. I don't have four walls, a window to the outside world or even a door. But it's mine.
I share my space with our storage shelves. That's okay because I've arranged them to help define my space. But just because I have to be near our cardboard boxes doesn't mean I have to look at them! This big ugly metal shelving unit is hidden away behind a plain window curtain. Check your your local resale shops...you can get them really cheap. I just used a tension rod and slipped it back behind the metal uprights on each side.

After that, I hung an owl needlepoint picture that a friend made for me to mimic a wall. You can get as
creative as you want! Don't like white? Go for color! The point is to
make your craft space comfortable and pretty - even if it's in the middle of a basement.
