How to Make Chalkboard Paint in Any Color {paint. Small Spaces - Tips for a Fabulous Craft Room! I have a personal passion for tiny spaces.
Lucky for me, all spaces in this house are quite small. As I worked through the design and organization of my craft room/studio, I marveled at how normal a bedroom this small would have been one hundred years ago. Barely enough room for a twin bed, this room is about 7 x 9 feet. However, even the smallest of spaces can be livable if a person plans well.

I’m not totally jiving on the placement of some things yet so I might play around with it some more but I really need to move on and get other projects finished up as well.
