I am just thrilled to be able to show you my home office/craft room/guest room. Yep, it has a lot of functions. Originally this room was going to be our guest room. Complete with a full size bed and everything my grandmother would need when she came to stay with us on occasion. That was one of the things we looked forward to when we found out we’d be moving back to California. She passed away just a couple of months after we moved here and it was heart breaking to think that we wouldn’t have weekend visits from her.We don’t have family come see us often, so I decided to not buy a bed, but create a space with room for a queen size air mattress when needed. I placed the furniture against the walls and will pull out the ottoman box under the window when we use the Aerobed air mattress. There is plenty of clearance in front and space in front of the closet and walking space around the sides. It isn’t a very roomy guest room, but we had to maximize the functions and prioritize in this small space.
Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
Can I just say that I love your cabinet!!! I could so use one of those. My craft room exploded in the kitchen, the office, and everywhere!!!! And the seam ripper print is so true in my house with my sewing machine!! I love it!!!
This turned out fantastic, it is nice an airy and tons of storage room.

That print is hilarious. Taylor would think so too. I always tell him that I’ll only be another 10 minutes working on a project. 2 hours later…yeah, that’s me still there working on the project. But what a nice room to have a place of all of your stuff!
What an absolutely fabulous room, I love the fabric! It really is beautiful. And the cabinet, yeah I love it too. I have one and still cant get over how functional and tidy it keeps everything. I love that you can label the drawers so you are never rummaging to find something, it totally brings organization to a new level. I hope scrapbox never comes out with such a box with sewing machine level inside because I will just die. lol
as always love your blog!
Sorry for your loss of your Grandmother. She is smiling down on the great room you created.
You will be more organized with your stuff if you have drawers and boxes in your home office. There are a lot of pouches and bags that have several pockets in the market today to help you group and organize various items in your office. It will be easier for you to find it once you need it.

Not quite sure, but I believe that print was also made for me! LOVE your space… LOVE my WorkBox… we even have the same white beadboard finish on them!!
That’s awesome! Yes, I think of that print often. Just last week in fact, when I sewed on cub scout patches crooked! Thanks for the comment!
Love all your organization!
Thank you ladies!
Your new office and craft room looks cheery and spacious. Thanks for sharing your tips on how to spruce it up, by the way.
Thank you Lisa! We didn’t spend a lot on it, but it still came together. I love when that happens!
Your room looks fabulous, well done! I could seriously use one of those cabinets ha ha!
Glad you liked my ‘Keep Calm’ print, and thanks for linking back! 😀 xx
I sooo love this room. It would be perfect for me as I have a very small house and every room has to do double duty. Thanks so much for sharing and showing me how my dream can be accomplished. Many, many blessings on you and yours.
