Most people don’t attempt to craft at home simply because they feel they don’t have the space to store and work on hobby or crafting materials. In reality, you really don’t need an entire room dedicated to your favorite art projects; just a simple, dual-purpose, working surface like your large solid wood Amish dining room table (with custom pads to protect the surface) and a well built Amish storage wardrobe. These handsome and concealing armoires are superb for organizing and storing the materials you need to truly bring out your “closet artist”. Your well contained “art room” can be arranged inside this armoire, wardrobe or closet to house and hide the craft tools and supplies for your favorite hobbies.

Well hidden inside the beauty of an Amish built wardrobe can lay an afternoon of enjoyment. By using a solid wood Amish armoire with fully adjustable shelves, fully extended or underside drawer slides and well built drawers you can have everything within reach at a moment’s notice. Organization is the single key to the success of your art closet:

- A simple kitchen cabinet Lazy Susan makes a quick spin to find your favorite color of acrylics or just the jar of buttons you need. These rotating cabinet organizers can be found in single or double tiered styles.

- Inexpensive but well labeled storage boxes, plastic shoe boxes or wooden drawers can be utilized to organize paints, brushes, raffia, scissors, ribbon, twine, markers, glues and similar supplies.

- Magazine holders can hold scrapbooking papers, craft books, patterns and projects you are working on in neat, easily viewed rows. 

- Try organizing like things together for optimal access.

This armoire craft room is also the perfect spot for storing gift-wrapping supplies for gifting your creations:

- The drawers are wide enough to hold rolls of paper and simple containers can be filled with all the necessary tools like tape, scissors, and ribbon.

- Magazine holders can organized new and recycled gift bags while a clear plastic box leaves gift tags in clear view.
