It’s a Wrap! A Space for Creativity in your Home

When you are an avid crafter, event planner or frequent host/hostess, it’s really a luxury to have a separate space in your home where you can let your creativity run wild! A gift wrap or craft room will allow you to store and organize materials and work in a setting that caters to creative thought. According to Miriam Gottfried of the Wall Street Journal, “Real-estate listings are touting wrapping rooms more frequently, and organizational outfitters like the Container Store have created specialized products to trick them out.” For some homeowners, clearing out a large empty closet in a room may be enough space.

Here are a couple of amazing rooms: What do you think of this trend? Does it make sense for you to use that extra bedroom for a craft or gift wrapping room?
