A playful area for arts and crafts
Our charming craft space is tucked away in a corner of our dining room. We weren’t sure what to do with the empty area at first– it seemed too small to have a real purpose!
We considered adding storage but the idea of it felt too bulky, and we couldn’t add anything tall because of the windows. The space sat empty for a while until we realized that it was the perfect size for a craft table.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that the second we added it there it has been creative central! Our kids love having a dedicated space to create. This is your sign to add a little table somewhere if you haven’t yet! 🙂
And if you need some inspiration, you’ll find details on paint colors and sources for each item below.
Paint Colors
- Walls and Ceilings: Matchstick in Dead Flat
- Window Trim: India Yellow in Flat Eggshell
- Window Sashes: Templeton Pink in Flat Eggshell
- Floor: 2 1/4″ Red Oak Hardwood in English Chestnut
The wall and trim color combination works so well because Matchstick and India Yellow share the same undertone family. Want to learn more? I explain more about this in the Paint 101 workshop in Color School. Join today!
