Every Thursday in our Washington Post Lifestyle section a local designer is challenged by a Decorating Dilemna sent in by a reader.

The challenge is to fulfill the wish list of the reader within their budget. In this case we had $2,000 to work with! Items that are sourced out must be available to purchase by readers so we turned to big box retailers. We kept the mom's desk and drafting table but all other items we were new.

Here are some tips for your craft room:
- Using white furniture keeps a room crisp and clean
- A pegboard organizational system will help stay organized and make clean up easy. This also keeps all of the craft supplies within arms reach
- Shelves over desks keep resource materials at one’s fingertips
- Maximizing wall space for bulletin boards and using a product such as fabric covered homasote is an inexpensive D-I-Y project that turns into a great display space for projects or for pinning memos a picture Kitchen Source
- Don’t be afraid to use color; pick accessories in your favorite color or remember, paint is cheap and makes a huge impact.
