This chest was left untouched during the Garage|Gym project above. It contained tools, hardware, manuals, spare parts, and other items. The client wanted to clear out the area and reuse the chest inside the home. After decluttering duplicate tools and unneeded items, the remaining items were integrated into the already established tool storage area or into the home where like-items where already being stored.
This craft room before and after in Grover Beach was so fun! The Client needed help decluttering and then organizing this craft room which needed to also function as a guest room. After downsizing a ton of unwanted crafting supplies and other items that had piled up over the years, the bookshelves were used to make a library space in the master bedroom and the remaining items were rearranged to create a more open and functional space. By minimizing the visual clutter (moving the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves), it was possible to achieve a peaceful space for guests that still functioned as a craft room. Additionally, the “Library” in the master bedroom adds interest to what were formerly blank walls.
