I love my space, in every sense of the word. In terms of space to create – that’s an absolute necessity. I like having a place to go when I want to be alone with my ideas, where I can store materials, and carry out projects. As much as I love rooms that are neat and tidy, it’s not really the way I operate when I’m in the middle of 5 projects. It’s a waste of time to me to put stuff away when I’m just going to have to bring it out again the next time I am working. My creative space can’t really be shared with any other function; if I relied on my dining table as my crafts/writing table, we would never be able to eat on it. Because…priorities!

For today’s #3ThingsThursday linkup, hosted by Pink Chai Living, The Write Balance and Love Laugh Mirch, I’m sharing some ideas for turning your closet into a crafts room/office/studio – whatever it is you need! If a closet isn’t in the cards, there are other ways to work around that (look at #3 below)! Check out these three websites for some brilliant and inspiring ideas!

1. Introducing…The ‘Cloffice’! Here are 10 examples of how you can maximize storage space and functionality, and of course, make your space pretty and inviting! There’s something about each one of these that I love; the idea behind #8 is particularly FUNctional 🙂

2. If your doors open this way, here is a fabulous suggestion for using ALL of the space at your disposal!

3. No closet? No problem! Scroll down this page to learn how to take pieces of furniture like a bookshelf and turn it into your new space!

These are certainly inspiring me to organize my own space more efficiently! In fact, I am going to use some of the toddler’s naptime to do that now 🙂
