Working in a closet might not be all bad if it looks like this!

What an inspiring example of how to get creative and make a small space useful and way fun!

This is one of those pictures I could stare at for awhile and still find new details. Here are a few of the things I noticed that really make this craft closet special:

• Pegboard on the back of the door is a brilliant storage idea because it takes-up zero useful space when not in-use, yet is perfectly accessible and pretty when needed!
• Opposite the pegboard, is a nice big door panel for posting calendars, notes, and little tid-bits of inspiring paraphernalia.
• That wallpaper in the back is beautiful! I wouldn’t otherwise like such a large pattern, but the way it is broken up with the desk and shelves just makes it perfect!
• I’m totally down with the make-your-own-desk-from-a-pair-of-file-cabinets plan.
• Having the whole space a color all it’s own makes it look like a completely different room. And the color is very pretty! I think we have that shade here on the blog!

And when you’re done being creative and productive, just close the doors and turn your attention to the next part of the day. I’m sure I would have a little skip in my step from just being in such a great little space!

What about you? What kind of little things do you look for in an inspiring work area?

Do you have limited space and scrapbooking supplies taking over your house?

Maybe you could turn a spare closet into something like this one. Having everything so neat and organized will make scrapbooking even more fun. Here are a few of my favorite features, and they’re all so easy to do on your own.

Using pegboard can really make the most out a space that’s usually forgotten. Adjustable shelves make things so much easier when you want to change it around a bit later on.

Put every inch of the closet to good use with cork trivets from a kitchen and bath store. They make a fun llittle bulletin board that’s perfect for inspiring ideas. Trivets are thick and can easily be mounted with foam tape.

Hanging folders are a great use of space. Organizing paper by season or color can make it easy to see what you have before you run off to the store to buy more. Hey, this is a money saving idea here! Now you can explain to your husband how this closet will save money and he should help you do it this weekend!

Have fun!
