We’re getting close to being finished with my Craft Room/Office! There are several little details I’m still working on, but the biggest element in the room is done…the Craft Room Table!
I love it! It has loads of storage…I’m not quite completely unpacked but I think I have room to grow!
Room for four barstools, two on either side…
And it’s HUGE!!! ****The top is 4 x 8!*****
My favorite part though, is the table top! Can you guess what the top is made of?
Yep! Flooring…laminate flooring!
We used Pergo Coastal Pine …it’s durable, which is ever so important for a project table!
And I liked it better than countertop laminate because it gives the table a beachy look! Oh, and it’s budget friendly, we bought 3 boxes at about $39.00 each, which was cheaper than special ordering a countertop!
The Husband used Ana Whites plans (HERE) and simply adjusted the size which is what Becky from Infarrantly Creative – (Large Craft Table) did when she made hers. Both of these talented ladies have great tutorials on making this table so I’m not going to write another one. I will tell you however, if you make a project table, consider using laminate flooring for the top!
***And since questions have come in about the size… mine is 4×8***
A 4 x 8 sheet of plywood goes on first & then the floor…The Husband tells me it was easy, easy, easy!
I used a beautiful Behr Paint color, (Opal Silk) for the base. I’ve used that color on other things in my house and I love it!
I’m excited to show you the rest of the room! So far it’s looking pretty good!
Sending love my friends~and wishing every one of you, a creative day

Nancy says
April 27, 2014 at 7:44 pmOh this Table is Fantastic!! I never would have thought of using Pergo, great idea!! Now where did you find the matching Baskets? I like my Craft Room to match as much as possible and finding the same weave Baskets in different Rectangle, Square sizes is like pulling teeth~
Have a Great week~

Brandi @ Nest of Bliss says
April 28, 2014 at 7:54 amI was INSTANTLY drawn in by the light wood and blue.. my favourite! But then you show some cute striped shoes too that seem to fit right in. I’d say some canvasy-stripes would look awesome in here! Cannot wait to see the rest!
Robin says

Robin says
April 28, 2014 at 5:23 pmCindy…oh thank you!!!! I got those at Target and thought I’d wear them for slippers this summer–but they aren’t comfy enough for slippers soooo they’ve become just shoes! 🙂 And I have no idea what those little ? marks mean! Things like that happen to me when I comment on blogs too! oxox
cindi says
April 28, 2014 at 8:44 amDon’t know why my post has question marks one of those crazy things that happens when I post

April 28, 2014 at 2:14 pmOh, love it, Robin! Wish I didn’t need a bed in my craft room and had room for a big table, but that isn’t the case. Cleaning my craft room and purging is May’s big project.

ChiWei says
April 29, 2014 at 2:18 pmSo unique! We have left over hardwood from doing the attic floors and were considering using those as a table top as well. Yours turned out beautifully!
Robin says
April 29, 2014 at 7:06 pmChiWei, the left over wood will make a great table top!!! ox
Sondra @ Sondra Lyn at Home says

Wendy says
June 18, 2014 at 10:05 amI’ve been in the process of planning out my own craft room and yours is by far my favorite. I LOVE the craft table, and the idea of using laminate flooring on the top is genius! (would you believe I was just now trying to decide whether or not to kick some extra laminate flooring to the curb and checked pinterest for other ideas before I put it out — that’s how I found your blog!)
I love the colors that you use in this room. So beachy and calm and pretty. I was originally toying with painting my room a soft blue, but now I’m thinking I’ll keep the walls more neutral and the color on the furniture. So fun! What wall color did you use?
Robin says
June 18, 2014 at 4:55 pmWendy, hello new friend! I’m so happy to meet you & I’m excited about your craft room!!! My wall color is Behr Premium Silver Drop…it’s light but not bright white and has a hint of a silver undertone… 🙂 I’d love to see some photos when you get your room finished! ox
Jane says
August 11, 2014 at 12:53 amThe table is fabulous. Would you share the table plans? My craft space is a disaster.
Robin says
August 11, 2014 at 11:36 amJane ~ Check in the post about 3/4 of the way down and there’s a link to 2 places that you can find plans for the table…we adapted it just a little. You’ll love both of those detailed plans! ox
Kammi says
September 2, 2014 at 4:50 pmNow just add a 90 degree angle for a cutting strip and you’re good.
Robin says
September 2, 2014 at 6:11 pmKammi! Great idea! ox
Kammi says
September 2, 2014 at 11:08 pmLol thank Joann’s cutting counter. Since I work there I made one of my own.
Robin says
September 3, 2014 at 2:52 pmGood ole Joann’s!!! Love that place! xo
Tiffany says

Mystena says
January 12, 2015 at 1:00 pmI love this table! I am currently making this table and have been trying to figure out what kind of top I want and yours is perfect!!
Did you have to put a finish on top of the laminate after it was installed?
Love the color too 🙂
~ Mystena
Robin says
January 13, 2015 at 9:04 amMystena-
Congratulations on your new table! The top really is perfect (I’ve been using it every day and it’s like new) and no – we did nothing to it after it was installed! xo
Chelle says
April 2, 2015 at 10:12 amDo the seams in the laminate table top ever become troublesome? Do you find yourself wishing you had a solid surface?
Robin says
April 3, 2015 at 6:53 pmChelle,
The seams haven’t been an issue for me at all…honestly there’s nothing about the table that I regret- truly, it’s perfect for my projects! xo
ellaloveforever says
April 30, 2015 at 5:58 amInspired!!! Thanks for sharing the great idea of using laminate flooring.

Leah Johnston says
August 29, 2015 at 4:09 pmHi, I love everything about your table. I want to make one for my sewing table but it will be much smaller. (6×3 feet). How did your husband attach the flooring to the top? Can you please tell me exactly what he used. Also for the shelves, did you use a kit or did you just buy shelves and cut them to your desired measurement?
Robin says
August 30, 2015 at 6:39 pmWe made the shelves out of wood…and to attach the flooring to the top of the table, the top of the table is plywood and then the flooring is attached according to directions, as if the table top were a floating floor!
Jórun says
October 24, 2015 at 6:52 pmWhat a beautiful crafting table 🙂 I have been thinking for a while about what kind of craftin table I should make for my crafting room, and this is exactly what it should look like. I have a concern though, about when cutting out fabric on the taple top, is it going to make marks on the table? Or did you put something on the taple top, so that there wont come any marks on it?
I hope you understand my question, because my english grammer and spelling is not super good.
Jórun
Robin says
October 27, 2015 at 3:37 pmJoran, I have a large cutting mat that I put on top of the table before cutting! Hope that helps! ox
Jórun Hansen says
January 21, 2016 at 5:27 pmOk, yeah that makes sense 🙂
Thank you for the answer
Leah Johnston says
January 9, 2016 at 12:28 pmHi, how did your husband attach the wood flooring. Can you please tell me exactly what he used?
Thanks so much!

Christine Ruud says
February 17, 2016 at 10:32 amLove this table. I’m waiting to have a sewing room large enough for one of these. There was a similar table idea in Family Handyman magazine once that used IKEA shelving units as the base.
Robin says
February 18, 2016 at 2:32 pmChristine, Ikea shelving units are a GREAT idea!!! I hope you get to have a sewing room soon…I used to sew in a little laundry room 🙂 do you have a closet or laundry room you could tuck a sewing machine into? xo Have a wonderful day friend
