As promised...This is my craftroom. It was hubby's office but he now has the exercise room. My old craftroom will be the music room! Confusing?! I create and spend most of my day and into the wee hours of night here! I am now making, & sewing goodies for my family for the holidays and paper crafting for my 2 Etsy shops!
Once a week friends join me for a day of chit-chatting, crafting and nibbling!
There are 2 walls that I am still finishing up that need some tweaking. I still have some things to hang on the walls to. I'll show you the unveiling of that half, hopefully soon!
Hint: Lucy & Ethel!

Below is what this buffet table looked like before I refinished it! I was visiting a friend and she had this in her garage with other things that were going to charity! All I did was smile when I saw it and her husband said "do you want it?" I screamed! I ran and got into my little PT Cruiser and was back with our big truck in 5 minutes! I had a vision! This is my first time refinishing a piece of furniture and can't wait to do my next project...a BIG mahogany buffet table for my living room that I bought at an antique store, Simply Friends! Hubby said "don't we have enough furniture?" I said no way! LOL! Glad he loves me!
Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Awesome craftroom! And that dresser is wonderful too. Love your blog, as always.
You should see my craftroom now....NOT!! It is a mess and needs a lot of work. But am too busy with the upcoming wedding, creating, thinking, crafting etc etc lol. Later will do some cleaning etc.

Some craft room! I'm seeing green with envy - so much storage space!
Maybe you could start a refinishing business:)
MaryJane, your studio is beautiful...it looks like a wonderful place to play...you have so much storage, i bet that helps you stay very organized...love the dresser makeover, it looks gorgeous now!!!

I just cannot even imagine having my own craft room...right now I have a "craft" kitchen table:) Such a lovely, inspiring room!! You have very blessed friends to be able to join you there every week:) Take Care:):)
*sigh*,I love it! I could move right in:>) Right now I am sewing in the master bedroom, cutting in the dining room and storing fabric in the office.
MJB,
I love your blog, and your craft room, and all the fun things you are doing.
Everything looks wonderful, and your music is so fun.
I loved The Sister song, and will be sure and pass your blog address on to all of my sisters.
Your craft room is delightful.
Love, love, love your blog! Just found it today! Love your trailer (I've been wanting one, despite the puzzled looks from my friends), love your bike, love your craftroom!!! I just added you to my bloglist and I'm looking forward to stopping by often!

Hi Maryjane
I've been out of town for a couple of weeks and I've missed seeing what you have been up to!
Love your studio...the lighting with those lamps above the shelves I think looks fabulous!
I wish I lived close enough to be one of your crafting friends.
You're furniture refinish is lovely!
I'm glad I stopped by for the update...
happy everything,
lori
I think I could be crafty with a room like that! How wonderful! Your dresser turned out great, but all of that wonderful storage has me drooling! lauire

Love the craft room, and the buffet turned out awesome. Very pretty curtains too.
i am in pure jealousy!! i know thats wrong but your room is gorgeous
What a great craft room. I envy all your walls of storage. LOVE the buffet ... what a find.
Your craft room looks great! I need to revamp mine. Good job on refinishing that dresser. Everything looks so good!

Thanks for stopping by and complimenting my blog. Your blog is simply charming! I love your craftroom! Oh my, is it nice. I'm going to add myself as a follower! Love your blog!
Pretty craft room! The buffet table turned out really nice! =)
You have such a beautiful craft room! I was thinking what fun it would be to join you for the chit chat and nibbling:) Thanks for showing us this lovely space. Have a nice week! Twyla
Your studio is perfect. I love refinishing furniture. I have done a few pieces. Hubby hates painting furniture. He likes everything dark wood. But when I get something for Free or for cheap and he's not looking I can shabbify. I can only hope for a studio like yours one day. For now it is the hall outside my room and the dining room table until I buy a desk...and paint it.
♥ Rebecca
Oh, Miss MaryJane!
Your craft room is just gorgeous!
I especially love those lamps atop the shelving -- I hate overhead lighting and with that many lamps, you should have plenty of light to make your beautiful crafts!
Everything is just so soft and beautiful! You're a lucky girl!
Blessings,
Julie
What a wonderful place to create!!!Ok I am jealous...
You did a wonderful job!!!
Hope all is well!!!

Just A Gal
Oh, Maryjane...it just couldn't be more perfect. I'd like you to send that table to me....Okay? :-)

Your craft room is wonderful :) Someday I'll have mine all done. It's just a dark room in the corner of the basment...you have given me many wonderful ideas.
The dresser also looks great.
Deb
OHMYGOODNESSGRACIOUS!!!!!!
MJ, your room is spectacular!!!!
Now if I had a room like THIS, I would be in there all day. Perfection with a pretty view, too!
I don't dare share my little hole in the wall.....but someday I would like a room like this!
You are amazing!!
xxoo

Aunt MJ! What a craft room! So much room to create and enjoy. Dreams really do come true...Someday my craftroom will come! LOL Love it, Love it. Loved the dresser too. Isn't it fun to refinish furniture. One of my favorite things to do! Hugs and Kisses!
I was sitting here admiring the pictures of your craft room and thinking, "gee, I so wish I had nice shelves like that in MY room" when the ol' lightbulb finally clicked on... I DO have shelves like that in my room! It's just that they are overflowing with books!! Hello, thrift shop?? Can you use a few hundred books? Tee-hee-hee!
WOW! Is all I have to say about that craft room! That is so fabulous. I want to come over and craft with you! Love it!
Hi there Mary Jane, I am amazed at your creative space! oh how I wish I could come spend a day. I was wondering if you make and sell the aprons and the ruffle purse that was shown in your room? I really like that ruffle purse. If you do sell them you can contact me by email:pine-ridge@triwest.net
Thanks, Great job on your room!
I could do a lot of dreaming in this room. What a wonderful creative space. So spacious and so beautiful. And so ORGANIZED!
What a beautiful work room, now if only I could convince the kids to move on and get a place of their own.........
I would love to bring my sewing machine to your adorable place and I could sew for you. Now that would be fun! Then I wouldn't have to put your things that you order from me in the mail. Deal?
Blessings, Linda

Your dresser is beautiful but your room is to die for!!!!! No wonder all the things you make are awesome with such a wonderful environment.....love the lamps around the top of your shelves....well quite honestly love the whole room!
I just found your fabulous blog and its wonderful!
Im loving your porch and the craft room is out of this world!
Now Im off to find pictures of your cool camper.
Just found you. What a pretty blog and I enjoy seeing your studio. I have an studio organizing blog and always enjoy seeing the studio of others. Thanks for sharing! Connie
Maryjane - i just recently found your blog and your photos of your amazing craft room -- wonderful! you were such an inspiration to me -- i bought white bookcases for my much smaller space and can now put out all my scrapbooking supplies. i decorated my space around those bookcases with cottage chairs and 2 desks -- no room for the gorgeous center table like in your room! i'm thrilled with the results. thank you so much for sharing your photos, your space and your ideas. Beverly
Love your space where you create. Very pretty and very inspiring. Your Grandmothers sewing machine caught my eye. I just posted about my Mum's treadle sewing machine. Lots of memories.
I am in love with your space. What a wonderful place to create in. I am new to blogging, but it is my new love. But dont tell my husband. LOL. Have to say again your blog is so amazing......
Love it ....Gorgeous!!! LOVE the lamps!! Nancy
Hello Sister,
I have seen your things a lot of time, and I have always loved your sites and pictures and all else! So many things we can see and like so much, but only today I realized you are a mormon person! Just loved it so, and now I understand why...there is that wonderful feeling we know!! Thank you for your beautiful page!
