It is the final week of the #CraftRoomChallenge, and I’m so happy with my white, bright craft room reveal today! Talk about inspiration to get creative!
I have had the most exhausting fantastic time over the last five weeks, taking tips from the Craft Room Challenge to finally get my office/craft room put into the beautiful, organized space I’ve envisioned the last four years.
Catch up on my previous weekly challenges for Weeks One, Two, Three, and Four
Week One of the Craft Room Challenge will show you the mess I started with, and the following weeks will lead you through my sorting, purging, and organizing. Finally week five – DECORATING, and the final craft room reveal!!

Now, to be fair, I already had done quite a bit of decorating in my craft room, since it doubles as an office for me as I work full-time from home. I really got a lot more done by organizing and purging, but I still want to share the decorative touches I’ve added over time. These teal and white jars date WAY back in my craft blog days (and have clearly held up well!), plus my Valentine’s Day printable that I love too much not to keep up year round.
The office was actually this color pink when we moved in, and I never tried to repaint it. I’m not often a “girly-girl” in my decorating scheme, but the white built-ins against the pink paint was a great accent for all the aqua accents I added over time.
This is one of my favorite pieces of art that I put up – my mom’s twin sister drew this picture of Judy Garland from my favorite film, Summer Stock, decades ago. Notice a resemblance to my blog? 😉 My aunt passed away when I was thirteen, so this is a treasured item for me.
My aunt’s drawing is actually what inspired me to create this sketch of Marilyn Monroe in my high school art class!
The art I placed about my computer is new, and be sure to check back next week for the tutorial on this fabric wrapped canvas quote!
Probably my most favorite new acquisition is my very girly and glam chandelier! Lighting was always an issue, as there is no ceiling light in this room. I scored this pretty chandelier with a swag kit from Wayfair for a steal, and was able to plug it right into the wall!

It’s a gorgeous work space! I’d keep that pink with those white cabinets too! I have mad love for your chandelier! Those built in cabinets are the stuff dreams are made of. I love keeping supplies out of sight and those cabinets are perfect for that! It’s a beautiful room.
Megan, I am laughing until I hurt right now for my typo!!! Please correct it for me and change made love to mad love!!!
Oh, I don’t know Shirley, it’s pretty funny as is!!! HAHAHA! Kidding, I fixed it 😉
I love your white cabinets against the pink with blue accents. I would love to have so much cabinet space to hide all my craft stuff. Your space looks awesome and definitely a bright and cheery room.
Thanks Erlene!!
Megan I am so jealous of those built ins!! Although if they were in my craft room, they would probably be overflowing with crap I didn’t need so maybe it’s a good thing. I do love the aqua and pink too! Very bright and happy!
Oh, trust me, they are!!! Ha!
I left a comment a couple days ago, but it seems to have been lost somehow in the wide depth of the Internet. Hmmmmm. I wanted to let you know that I love your White & bright craft room / Office. And I am seriously in love with that Little chandelier. It’s wonderful that you have the sketch of your aunt in your room. I have a sketch of a rose from my dad. He made it when he was courting my mom.
I love those drawings! And you’re right! That pink on the walls go great with the white cabinets! I love your fun and colorful space!
