Prep and Plan

A great studio doesn't happen by accident. In this episode, we walk through the prep work that sets a craft room remodel up for success — budgeting your finances, your time, and your space before the first cabinet goes in.

Start by cataloging what you already own, so nothing gets overlooked when it's time to plan where everything goes. Then take an honest look at your current space: notice what's working and what isn't today, and let that guide a studio that will function better for the long term. The more time you invest up front, the more you'll get out of the finished room.

“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”

Budget Money & Time

2

Catalog What You Own

List your supplies so you know exactly what needs a home — and bring it out of hiding and into your line of sight.

Learn from Today's Space

Study what works and what doesn't in your current room, then plan a studio that functions better for the long haul.
