Craft Room Tour: My name is Ana Illausky, and I am a Craftaholic! So much so that my husband and I built a 10×12 space in our back yard for me to create. My pictures feature my love for thrift store and discarded items I refinish to freshen and add functionality to my space.
Craft Room Tour
Check out this craft room cottage!
Inside my craft cottage, we built the shelving higher to the roof line to create storage and give more floor space.
We built a counter/wrapping station and hung wrapping paper by dowels and chain underneath the shelf for display and a space saver.
There are also two baby changing tables that also hold craft items. These curb discards were the best finds EVER!
Finally, for a breath of fresh air, we added a deck to relax with a cup of tea making my cottage a little retreat.
You can find all ideas for this space you will find on my Hometalk page.

How cute. The mistake I made was not painting it first. I had to move in in a hurry because I came from another city, where my creative area was an entire double garage! I found that wall space disappeared quickly. Hope you can keep it neat after you really start using it. I have to reorganize after each major project.
Hi Andrea, Thank you for your kind words! My cottage was complete in August.Having so much fun creating.What I love is everything has its place.. Ana

What a lovely space. It would be very inspiring to create in a space like that.
Thank you for your kind words!
I love your cottage!!! It is just too adorable!!!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your craft cottage is super cute. I have thought about having a shed installed and turning it into a craft studio, but I live in FL, so even just storing materials out there could not be done in just a shed because of the heat and humidity. What did you do to it to keep it temperature controlled? Did you insulate and install a window unit?
Thank you Alysa! We have electric!
Wow! This is a dream-come-true craft space. I love how you repurposed curbside finds and other items into great storage pieces.
Thanks so much Teresa, I have lots of up dates on the cottage at http://www.hometalk.com/aillausky
I love this, so pretty. This is what my husband and I are about to build, same size too! I have been wanting something like this for quite some time now and we finally are doing it and we will be running electric to it so I can stay comfortable in the Texas heat! Also, doing a small covered porch in front too. Again, very pretty space, congrats!

What an adorable craft studio! The problem I would have is I would just sit with a cup of tea or coffee and take it all in and get nothing done…lol. I love it all, enjoy!

Hi Andrea.

Oh Ana, you have got to feel as if you have a little piece of Heaven on Earth there.The space, the colors, the florals, the curtains and your space for each and every single thing is what I call perfection. It is just so lovely, Ana, you have such beautiful taste in selecting color, texture and patterns to compliment each other. I know you are happy as can be while you are in there. I pray you continue to enjoy each second and that you be blessed while creating your dreams! God bless!
