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.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Since I entered the <\/span>blogosphere<\/span><\/span> 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.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
This brings me to Margaret <\/span>Norcott<\/span><\/span>, Principal designer for <\/span><\/span><\/span>Milieu Design Group<\/span><\/a>. Margaret sent along pictures of this gorgeous Kid’s Craft Suite that she designed for the <\/span>Atlanta Symphony Show House and Gardens<\/span><\/a> back in April.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
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.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
