Lol, I live in a 1300 sq ft condo with 2 bedroom and my youngest child occupies the second bedroom. She will be moving out by August and although I will miss her a lot it will give me a workspace that I am so much in need of. In the meantime I do what I need to do to get my work done. My place is usually a mess as I always need to see my yarn in clear light to get inspired to start something new. If I know I am having visitors and they are not coming to see my shop I clean up and get the place really spic and span. I hold an open house every couple months in my place so therefore my place usually looks like a shop for at l
east a week considering I need to set it up and tear it down. I have so much baskets and bins and boxes with yarn and stuff anywhere they can fit and not look too messy, props, a clothing rack set up in my living room that is there permanently and beside that is a chair that is holding one of my afghans and usually my unfinished work. Then to the right of that is my bookshelf with five shelves that really is holding just half of my knitting, crochet and arts and craft books. My laptop is on my dining room table permanently it gets moved to the floor next to my printer if I need to use the full table for an
ything else (like eating, lol). All my other stuff is either under my bed in plastic pullouts, in boxes and suitcases in my walk-in closet and the remainder is in a storage unit that is a 15 minute drive from my place.
Enjoy my pics. I wanted to share with everyone to let them know that no matter what work spaces we have, we do what we need to do to do what we totally love!!!!

I think having an Open House every once in a while is a primo idea. Great use of a small space. Clever and creative.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you maximize the space well.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to know you will be getting some extra space in August! I know it will be sad to see her leave though
ReplyDeleteI agree....we will always find a way to craft....no matter what our space is like.
ReplyDeleteI bet you will fill that 2nd bedroom quickly...it is amazing how fast you can fill a room with supplies...lol!
ReplyDeleteTrue! No matter the space, it is about doing what you love!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of space! I can relate to the open house, too! I only have one a year but it does help to get you in shape and organized, despite the work!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love your extra space! I'll bet you have plans for it! :)

That is my biggest dilemma is that I need to see my stash to get inspired or to cooridinate things. It is hard to leave that out but you have too.
ReplyDeleteOh, we have 1300 sq. ft. place too with 3 adults, 6 cats and two dogs. Got to use space wisely.
ReplyDeleteAn open house would be fun...What are you going to do with all your extra space?
ReplyDeleteyou are using the space so well! and it will only get better:)
ReplyDeleteHow fun, you are exactly right...we do what we have to do for what we totally love.
ReplyDeleteLovely pics! I bet you'll make your space even more organized when you move into the 2nd bedroom ;)
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling. I share a 1 bedroom condo with the purse guy and sometimes (esp this weekend when he got the flu) I had to be working in the bedroom to avoid him in the living room lol.

I know I'm late with my post, but I'm here now :)
ReplyDeleteIn the past when lived in very small spaces, so I know what it feels like. Now we have a lot more space, but unfortunately & obviously one fills up whatever space one has ;)
