Craft Room Reveal!

I’ve been working like crazy for the past six weeks to transform our craft room and the landing area next to it as part of the One Room Challenge. Today I’m so excited to show you all how it turned out! As usual I’m limping across the finish line having barely finished my room plus every other room in my house besides these two is the biggest hot neglected mess you’ve ever seen, but I’m done! And I love it!  And most importantly, my girls love it and are excited that they have this new space to be creative in! Ready to check it out?? (post includes some sponsored and affiliate links – see my full disclosure statement {here})

In case you weren’t following along from the beginning, we’ll start by throwing it back to what this space looked like six weeks ago. It’s a TINY room that was pretty dreary when we first moved into our house:

Our craft room before making it over!

Soon after moving in I had painted the back wall and added some lamps and a few accessories so this is what it was looking like right before my makeover:

Our craft room before the makeover

And here it is today!

Such a cute kids craft room! Love the blue and white feather wallpaper and the brass and acrylic lamps!

The biggest change is the wallpaper! I painted over the bright green paint color that was there and hung {this blue and white leafy vine wallpaper} – do you guys love it as much as I do? It just has the best creative feel that I think is perfect for the space!

Gorgeous navy and white wallpaper with leafy watercolor vines!!

You see my other favorite Serena & Lily wallpapers {here} if you want more wallpaper inspiration.

The other thing that made a huge difference is that I painted the cabinetry white. I wasn’t sure how that would work out since it’s inexpensive laminate cabinetry but it worked beautifully! I did it using the same step by step as I did with our painted bathroom vanity that you can see {here}. I dressed our new no-longer-puke-yellow cabinets up with some fun new dragonfly knobs:

LOVE these dragonfly cabinet knobs! Source linked in post!

I also added a few of {these glass storage jars} to hold the ribbons and threads that my daughters use the most:

Glass storage jars hold ribbons and thread in this cute craft room!

and I swapped out the bright blue table lamps for a pair of {these petite brass and acrylic lamps} – they’re the cutest!

Love this brass and acrylic table lamp! Perfect for a desk!

And do you want to see what our newly made-over landing looks like too? Here’s where that space started out:

 

Our bonus room before the One Room Challenge

Could it be any more boring? Umm….no!  There was nothing wrong with the loveseat or the ottoman but this just didn’t exactly scream “fun place for two teenage girls to hang out” which is exactly what the purpose of this space is. And those plain shades and overhead dome light… wrong, very wrong and had to go pronto! After six weeks of working away, this is what our upstairs landing area looks like today:

Fun bonus room space with daybed for lounging (that will also be used as a guest bed), kids art gallery wall, blue and white wallpaper and bedding, Moroccan poufs, Roman shades, and brass sputnik light fixture!

Bonus Room Sources: “Feather” Herringbone wallpaper (color: denim) | Daybed | Blue Vera Bradley Traveler’s Floral quilt & shams – no longer available | White quilted Euro shams w/navy stitch | Navy stripe tassel pillow – no longer available | Blue & white block print pillow covers |  White cozy pom pom throw}  | Brass floor lamp | Brass sputnik flush mount light fixture | Roman shades with ribbon trim in Light Navy trim | White Moroccan leather poufs

Now THIS is a space that my girls will love hanging out in! The whole transformation started with {this beautiful daybed} and {this foam mattress} that so many of you recommended to me and slowly went from there. If you’ve been following along from the beginning you might remember that the wallpaper was one of the first things that I picked out but it unexpectedly went out of stock and I had to go to plan B and use {this herringbone wallpaper} instead. Well sometimes things happen for a reason because I think it’s a perfect fit for the space:

Gorgeous brass sputnik flush mount ceiling light fixture! Perfect for this kid friendly space!

And speaking of perfect fits, can we talk about our new lighting?? Before we had only a dim, ugly overhead dome light that I replaced with {this gorgeous flush mount brass sputnik}. Honestly, I surprised even myself when I chose this brass beauty since it’s more modern that what I traditionally go with but I fell for it the second I saw it and now want to sputnik-ify every room of my house – I LOVE it! And for someone like me who loves well lit rooms, this baby can light up a room like no other (I used a combination of {these 15 watt bulbs} and a few 25 watt bulbs I already had on hand to get the perfect amount of light for the room).

Gorgeous brass sputnik flush mount ceiling light!

I also added {this brass floor lamp} next to the daybed for reading – such a great buy and I love that it ties in the brass at the other end of the room!

Gorgeous custom Roman shades with navy ribbon trim for the same price as non-custom shades at a big box store! Source linked in post!

I shared the deets about {my new Roman shades with light navy ribbon trim} last week but had to mention once more how gorgeous and well made they are. Melissa does beautiful (and very reasonably priced!) work and I highly recommend her. I’m super glad that I decided to go with inside mount shades instead of outside mount which is what was there previously – the inside mounts are so clean, tailored, and fresh looking!

Blue and white bonus room area with daybed, blue floral quilt, blue and white pillows, white leather Moroccan poufs, Roman shades, and an art gallery wall!

Other new pieces in the space include a tiered marble side table (no longer available) that I placed three potted plants on:

Loving this tiered marble side table - looks beautiful with plants and would also be perfect for holding multiple drinks!

Take a good look at these green, leafy beauties today because you know me and plants… these poor guys are unlikely to survive for very long under my black thumb! Other new additions are these two white leather Moroccan poufs:

Beautiful white leather Moroccan poufs at a great price!

I love that they’re so versatile and can be used for foot rests but also for extra seating when my kids have a bunch of friends over. I’ve seen similar ones for big bucks but spent a lot of time looking for reasonably priced options and reading reviews and ended up buying {these poufs} which actually come in white along with a bunch of other different colors. I’m really happy with how they look and excited that they were such a great deal.

Did you notice in my pouf pic that someone furry came along and joined us mid tour? Hope decided that this whole daybed thing is pretty boss and divides her time between cuddling into the super soft pom pom throw and {these cozy Euro shams} that are mixed in with {these two block print pillows} and a pair of striped tassel pillows. And how about that kids’ art gallery wall over the daybed, let’s talk about that too – do you like how it turned out?

Gorgeous art gallery wall filled with children's art - love! Sources for frames included in post!

I used an eclectic mix of frames to frame artwork from both of my girls throughout the years, starting with drawings from when they were super little all of the way through to some current art pieces like the pencil sketch in the middle. I love being able to show off their creativity and get some of their older artwork that I truly cherish out of storage boxes and up on the wall where we can all enjoy it. I would guess that there will be a lot of art swapping going on in this little gallery wall over the next several years as new pieces get created!

Gallery wall showcasing kids art! Love this idea! All sources for frames included in post!

Ready to move on to the craft room? Let’s take one more “before” and “after” peek before we go, ok? Here’s the entire bonus room space before:

Upstairs landing area before its makeover!

and here it is now:

Bonus room / loft area for teens decorated with blue and white herringbone wallpaper, Roman shades, brass lighting, a daybed, gallery wall, and more! Click over for all of the details!

And just in case you’re wondering, that large bare space between the poufs and the built-in that the TV is in has a purpose – it’s where my girls play with the Wii so we wanted to leave it open and have plenty of space for Just Dance face offs! 🙂

Thanks to all of you who followed along with this fun project!

    Kris, I love it!! And I’m so glad you include Hope in at least 1 pic of your posts b/c she is the best!! Question, what size quilt did you buy for the daybed so you could get it to tuck under the mattress on both sides, OR, are you clever & it only tucks on the one side???? ?

      November 18, 2017 at 8:54 pm

      Jenny I have the hardest time getting pics without her! She is always getting right into the thick of things when my camera comes out! The quilt is a twin – it does tuck under on both sides (I have no clue if the one I have is longer than typical or not) but just barely on the one far side that you can’t see. My mattress isn’t super thick though!

Love the idea of using your girls’ art, especially since it’s their space. The perfect blend of fun, playful and stylish. Also, Hope is just too cute curled up in all that cushiness. 🙂

      Hi Maile! I simply diluted a really small amount of white paint with water (mixed together) and rubbed it on the legs with a cloth. Then once it was dry, I sanded them a bit! Isn’t the table great?! So surprised to find something like that at Target!

    Just gorgeous Kris, as always! I’m sure your girls are thrilled to have a space to hang out in. Love both of the wallpaper choices. And the sputnik light fixture is fabulous!

    Absolutely beautiful! Love the wallpapers especially in your craft room. I am a huge blue and white/neutral fan so love the color theme in both rooms. Your daughters are lucky to have such a beautiful space to hang out in. Thanks for always inspiring me! Happy Thanksgiving!

    Hi Kris,
    Your taste is impeccable. I’m such a fan. You did a fabulous job on the craft room wall paper. Such patience! One question. How did you camouflage the electrical outlet under the workspace. I swear, I don’t see it at all!
    Looking forward to more inspiration in 2018!

      Thank you so much Laurie! I recessed it back behind the cabinetry where you can’t see it because it’s so big and ugly but it’s actually been kind of a pain in it’s new location for my daughter to plug things in and out so I think that ugly clunker might be coming back out. Sometimes practicality has to win over pretty I guess 🙂

    Hi – Where did you get the mattress for the daybed and is it comfy? Thanks for sharing! Susan

      Hi Susan – I got the mattress from Amazon – there’s more info about it in this post: https://www.drivenbydecor.com/best-inexpensive-foam-mattress/ It hasn’t been slept on yet but it’s very comfy for sitting on the daybed and came highly recommended!

    As usual, gorgeous results! I immediately spotted Miss Hope and every time I see her in your pix I want to scoop her up and squeeze the stuffing out of her! How do you get anything done with that adorable girl around??? Could you say a bit about how you make your daybed? I now have one in my office and I am befuddled by how I’m supposed to neatly get the quilt on without having a wrestling match with it every day. I have an Ikea Hemnes daybed with solid sides & back. I love how yours looks all tucked in, which would be perfect for how I want to use mine (as a sofa for reading/napping). Thanks for the excellent work you consistently do!

      OMG, you crack me up! We are ridiculous about Hope and carry her all over the house and tell her how cute she is about a hundred times a day 🙂 For my quilt, I have the long end tucked in at the front of it and then I fold back the other end on top of the daybed (that’s how you see the pattern on the other side of the quilt too) and then tuck in the sides. That way I never have to wrangle with tucking anything in at the back of the daybed which would be a pain!

    This space is beautiful! I’d love to see how the built ins were built. Also how you have your craft / sewing items stored. I have a similar room but I’m thinking every wall would have to have built ins to fit everything! You did a wonderful job!

    For the roman shades in this room, did you go with a blackout or drapery lining?

    Also, would you recommend mixing and matching roman shades with long sheers in the same space? I’d like to get these exact same shades for the two windows in our living room, except with black trim, and was thinking to pair with long white sheers for our french doors.

    Hi, I love how you styled your daybed. I bought a daybed today and don’t like the matchy matchy look of daybed sets. Did you use a regular quilt on your daybed and just tuck it all in? Is it made for a daybed? Is there just a fitted sheet under the quilt? Sorry for all the questions, I am just lost on how to style mine.
    Thanks a bunch!
    Cindy
