Just before Christmas I finally got doors put on the open shelves in my craft room/spare room, it took me eighteen months to pin my incredibly busy "man what does" down to a date, but we got there in the end! I wish I'd had it done when I first had the shelves put in, to start with, it would have cost me an awful lot less, but my reasoning before was that if they were cupboards then my craft stash would gradually spread into them, but as it was, it did anyway!

| Way back when, when the room was solely used as a spare bedroom. |
Then, after a year or so I changed the bed for a sofa bed so that I could use the room to craft in rather than in the lounge ..........

| Still a bedroom, a few more changes, but still not right |
I think that's really when the craft boxes began to sneak in and then for convenience, I decided I wanted to keep the bedding in the same room too. The shelves were really deep, which is why they could easily be turned into cupboards. So all the bric a brac found new homes, either around the flat or via the local charity shops.

I am really happy with it all now, I spent a good few days sorting out boxes and then sorting them out again, donating all the surplus craft stuff to school, or again, charity shops, but I think I still need to do it all again in the next week or so to really hone things down.
So far it's working pretty well, I can craft to my hearts content and then simply close the door on the mess when I'm done for the day, then, when I have a visitors, I just fold down the table and put the chair to the side, in order to get the bed out, voila!

It looks great!
Love what you have done with your craft room/spare room. I seem to be spending more time reducing my stash (to donate) than using it at the moment!
