When we finished our basement, I was sure to put dibs on a space to build a craft room. I think it is so crucial to foster creativity in our children. As art and music programs are being cut at record levels within our schools, it is up to parents to pick up where the school systems are failing our youth.
Since I entered the blogosphere I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing people. Through the the virtual universe I have been introduced to new things and ideas that I never would have had the pleasure of experiencing without the miracle of modern technology.
This brings me to Margaret Norcott, Principal designer for Milieu Design Group. Margaret sent along pictures of this gorgeous Kid’s Craft Suite that she designed for the Atlanta Symphony Show House and Gardens back in April.
This craft suite makes my little craft room look like a dump. Margaret has done an amazing job of mixing colors and textures that appeal to both kids and adults alike.
Can you believe this puppet show booth? What little one wouldn’t LOVE that?
I’m a big fan of a good window seat.

Hey Kiki,
Margaret here…love the sweet comments everyone is leaving above, warms my heart. PS ~ I just blogged on Martha’s Dreamers Into Doers site and on Twitter & Facebook about you and this blog post. 🙂 Wishing you a great Halloween! ~Margaret
Wow. Those images are incredible. I agree about fostering the creativity in the home. So important. I have never seen anything quite like that space. So fun!
This inspired me to create a craft space in our playroom today. Totally copied your glass candy jars. Till now, I’d been keeping art stuff in my pantry, and I certainly won’t miss having it in there! Thanks!
