Once a dark, “scary-looking” basement, this now bright, cheerful workspace is where creative consultant Michelle Adams tackles projects. The inviting nook features ample counter space for Adams to spread out and work, while a slat wall keeps her most-used tools and small items—from scissors and paintbrushes to craft papers and ribbons—within arm’s reach.

The system is flexible, so Adams can add new accessories, such as paper holders and hand-tool hooks, and rearrange her stash any time. And floor-to-ceiling white paint mimics natural light for a fresh, clean vibe.
