Gift Wrapping & Kids' Craft Studios
A couple wished to turn the unfinished half of their Creve Coeur, MO basement into special spaces for themselves and the grandchildren. Four functions were turned into 3 separate rooms: an arts and crafts room for the grandkids, a gift wrapping room for the wife, with office space for both of them, and a work room for the husband (not pictured).
The 3 rooms are accessed by a large hall, which houses a deep, stainless steel sink operated by foot pedals, which comes in handy for greasy, sticky or paint-smeared hands of all ages.
The kids’ arts and crafts room is two sets of tables and chairs, a chalkboard and bulletin boards. The anchor of the room is a wall of custom cabinets with bench seating that has multiple drawers and cubbies so each grandchild can store their own supplies.
