Just take a peek at what my amazing sister, Tiffany at http://www.thechildrensnest.blogspot.com/ can do with the tiniest of tiniest spaces. This is her laundry/craft room and look at how she organizes it to work perfectly for a craft room.
You will notice the cool desk...it was on its way to the dump but she rescued it and put the "Tiffany magic" on it and made it so pretty! Go to her blog to read how she did it.
I love this tin mini chest of drawers that she found at a garage sale! It is so perfect to sit a top of a desk to hold a myriad of items.
Check out her wrapping center...ribbon, scissors all at the ready. All of this is in a 6'X12' room for Pete's Sake!!
