Wow! This is my old house when I was growing up in the late 1970’s. A bit of history. When we lived here, this room was still a speakeasy from during prohibition. I wish I had pictures, but it was decorated with wood paneling from a church, church pews around the walls and there was a full length bar that ran down the length of the room. For me, it was my piano room where friends would come from the LMHS choir would come. It has perhaps found a new noble purpose. Well done.

Can we be real for a second? You never see Orthodox Jews on TV really unless it’s like the background of a NYC Street scene. I’m not even Jewish but I’m loving this. They are such a huge part of the cultural fabric that makes up so much of NY, NJ and just a good chunk of the East Coast altogether. They normally stick to themselves and I’m glad to see this family out in the KZfaq sphere. I hope this comment is in no way offensive, I just love reminders of why I love the East Coast so much. Yes, there is a lot of culture in LA for example. Most of Hollywood is Jewish, but you don’t see it and feel it like you do in the Northeast. I loved living in Brooklyn and going to the Korean grocer for veg, this funky and random Muslim shop for nuts on Court St and the rest I’d get at Trader Joe’s where you heard a multitude of languages. Same is boring but different is a grand adventure.

The husband and wife in this episode just seem like the sweetest people! They just seem so genuine and nice! I’m betting they make really good neighbors! I hope you guys loved the makeover!

Love how you added color to the edges of the pieces on the peg wall - brought color in perfectly without overwhelming the eye!

I love how Monica adapted the design for the canvases, and then left the extra shelves and pegs, and the bubby store picture. Its nice to see the effort she goes to understand her clients and design to their needs :)

Monica, you set yourself up for that! 😂😂 Don't ask questions before hand, just open the paint and let the horror in their eyes tell the story

Monica - you and your team are ALWAYS amazing....terrific job again.

This was so cute! This made me want to see an episode in the future featuring an artist's studio for creative adults

when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a sorry girls video 😂😂😂

I’m jealous! Puts my disorganized craft room to shame. The peg board is my favorite thing as it’s so useful. Monica strikes again! 👏👏👏👏👏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

As an artist, I'm loving this makeover. I need that custom pegboard wall in my life!

The pegwall is amazing, esp. the tiny details of the coloured ends of the pegs ... love it and just had an idea where this could come in super handy in my house ..... might take a while until it gets implemented, because we are waiting for our remodelling permit, but I am excited about the idea.

Love the upcycled dresser to wrapping station! Great job!

So practical, functional and downright BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! 👍😉💚🌈. You hid it out of the ballpark once again. 😄

OK I'll admit it. I already watched every episode of the Weekender, but I saw one recommended recently and I'm rewatching all of them during this weird Coronavirus time while I sew this weekend. I love this episode! The craft room turned out so nice and the family is so sweet. I'm sewing in my "craft room"' (aka the dining room) - fabric masks for all my coworkers at the vet hospital where I work. Regardless of the craft, it's so nice to have a pretty, dedicated space with organized supplies. I'm going to take some of Monica's ideas for myself. :)

I wasn't super thrilled throughout this episode because everything looked so simple, but when she tied everything all together at the end I was amazed! Wish I could have you come to my house!

Ideas, ideas, ideas!!! Cool couple, dad is chill, luv the moms energy & honesty:-)

The space is so beautiful, I love watching these types of videos, and watch everything come together in a way I would have never thought of. I am honestly jealous. Great job, Monica!!

We love that wall with the lower cabinets and the pegboard shelves are genius! We are definitely going to do a wall similar.

I'm so thankful to come across this program. I am learning so much about how to transform the inside of my house without feeling the need to demo and build new. Coincidentally my husband decided it is time to spruce up our house... we started a week ago with the water heater needing to be replaced!! I appreciate the easy explanations on how to go about each project. The project for the art space came out incredible...and how cool it is that Mr. Craig Yetter watched the program and noticed this was is childhood home. Once again thank you, watching this program helps me sort out all the ideas I have stored in my brain.

What a cool family, mom. Love the craft space and how it fits this family.

My goodness! How creative! This space has changed so much. It looks so light, the right dose of colour and airy, a great room for creative activities. I'm getting so many ideas from The Weekender! Thank you Monica!

I love that peg board!! With the colored pegs and shelves it makes the room beautiful and creative!

Monica, you are the perfect person for this job. You did a great job how you verbalize things and the way you address subjects.

Monica you done done it again girl!!! This one really inspires me. My sweet husband converted part of our tiny garage into a craft room for me but seems like my crafts are taking over and these storage solutions seem simple enough and very effective for the space I have. Thank you for this Weekender video.

Why didn't I see this before ?? Monica, You rock ! That Peg board is so simple and yet so elegant ! Loved it ! Now, I only wish I get 10% of your skills :)

Please: More art/ studio/ creative space make-overs for grown-ups! The peg board was wonderful. I'd love to see even more storage ideas for the rest of us who hoard too many supplies.

Weekender holiday again. So thrilled about this one. Thanks so much for the tip on cutting holes and for the pail idea. Omg! The overscale peg board is absolutely brilliant! I've never seen a magnetic clip solution like that and I am so impressed. The station, the ample storage, blown away. Their Bubby would love it. Great work, Monica!

Oh my gosh the painted edges and ends of the dowels and shelves are incredible! They take an already very cool project up to amazing! Also, you hacked that dresser GOOD. I mean it's so perfect and specific for its use!

Monica I love your pegboard template! What a great idea!

Side note: so awesome that this family creates together! Love that! Monica “nailed “it again! Love love the peg board

Monica, love your simplicity and your creativity....you are a born interior designer...very inspiring and motivating makeover of the craft room....superb!!

love that the color isnt exploding all over the room, fantastic job!

Great makeover! I love the peg board area and what you did with the dresser.

Love the inspiration the room now excudes. The kids art being displayed really allows their creativity to be admired. The huge pegboard is a winner and the lower storage is a bonus. Basically I LOVE THIS ROOM AND HAPPY FAMILY!

Wow! The room is awesome! That wrapping center dresser though is absolutely next level! Love it all!

Wonderful. I love the pegboard wall and especially the craft table. Thanks for sharing!

The dream craft room! So, awesome, Monica! I’m building a ceramic studio and will steal some of these ideas! ❤️❤️❤️

this is my favourite that you have done so fare please do more craft rooms xx brilliant xx

“I’m her oldest” what a guy 😂😂😂

love the space, i hope the girl held some workshops, such an awesome thing to share. Neighbors picking me up and taking me to their private family art workshops given by a local artist, Gillcrest, in his basement where Callirophy, clay, acrylics, life in my head, design and beloning took hold. Thank you McCooy family.

The space is amazing! Those primary colours just make the space so happy. And all those nifty organisation ideas!

This is unbelievable.., it’s soo amazing .. I can’t of wanted to create one space for my daughter .,, now I get the idea .. thank you Monica .. you are truly talented ..

Finally!!! Ever since the starting of this season and seeing the pegboard in the intro, I've been waiting for this makeover. You really did it this time Monica!!!!!!

Wow, creativity at its peak. I like building things myself and would love to do all this stuff hands-on once lockdown eases. Till then the wall was awesome so was the display gallery and storage space. The dresser brought a pop of colour that Aleeza wished for and all looked elegant and creative in white and its dots of clours.

This turned out so pretty and functional with all that cabinet space and the details you put in. So amazing.

I love it, especially the ribbon drawers and sunken in holders for the buckets!!! Thanks for all that you do and share! Love your videos!!!

You are fabulous person..helping so many people using yr talent,gift and style..your taste in colour is awesome

Probably my favorite episode so far. I love the way it turned out despite my personal dislike of peg boards. Plus, it gives me inspiration for my current art studio renovation project. I'm cleaning out our basement to have my own maker studio on one side and a photo/video studio for my young adult daughter and I to share on the other side. I'm an upcycler and my daughter is trying to start her own photography business.

Another masterpiece Monica. Watching your show is the highlight of my day. Super job and I always learn so much about simple design solid design. You and your team rock. Ready for the Episode 10. Hugs

that room of creativity was everything!!! Just beautiful

I am pretty sure their Bubby would be proud of this place! 🥰❤️

Love it! The peg board of course and the small cabinets, I run a small home daycare and would love this.

They can play Plinko on the peg board with the disks the cut from the table top!

I loved all of the hidden storage. Plus I loved the idea of the dresser! So creative. 😁

What a wonderful craft space that you created for this neat family!

the weekender seasons just keep getting better, keep it up!

I love this! I have always loved the pegboard that The Sorry Girls made on their channel (another DIY channel worth checking out!) but I love this kid-friendly, colorful iteration too. Man, I want a huge house with extra rooms for crafting/building and brewing.

Ok, this video is being saved to my "New House" folder because I need that pegboard wall w cabinets!!! Thanks Monica and Lowes!

Love the peg board and all the storage!!!

I love this project! I feel like you could have put in even more storage, but then again, I'm kind of a hoarder when it comes to art supplies. I would love to see more spaces like this

I'm speechless, this room is gorgeous!

This is by far one of the best transformation Monica. You really made that beautiful family happy. :) I wish I have craft area like that.

It's great, gets you into a creativity zone . Thanks Monica

Love all the storage space thats what my craft room needs

The kids said... Mommy can you make this for us?! Lol. It looks awesome!

Omg ❤️❤️❤️ the peg board. I can’t even. It’s GORGEOUS Monica!

Wonderful, craft room redo. I am looking forward to seeing you do a sewing room makeover .

Oh Monica, that is beautiful! So fantastic!

WOW!! Amazing transformation! Love it!

I love this! I especially like the drawers with holes for ribbon to come out. I am inspired!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE the creative space!

Incredible!!!! My "absolute" dream craft room!!!

Mónica I thank God for your talent and you have inspired me so much in so many levels

I love the table! The added storage of kitchen cabinet is awesome!

Totally loving the transformation! Thanks Monica for the inspirations 😘

Wow! Amazing organization skills even before the amazing makeover! Good job mommy! 🤗😍

Lovely well done. When our children were young we always rounded the square corners, on tables & work benches. Being an ex nurse, was aware of house accidents, where children had eye injuries, from sharp table ends. Super transformation, stay safe. 😘👋🙏

How much I want this room is unreal.

Grerat Job Monica! You've got me rethinking my design studio. Love this.

She killed it with the peg board. Its also a great idea to repurpose old kitchen cabinets

OMG Monica, you Rock!!!! love this, such an inspiration for doing my kids play room/office space...thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, the peg wall and everything else about this brilliantly designed space!

I like how they involve the homeowners unlike most other shows

Hi Monica,you are a great inspiration,thank you for that,love from Portugal

Omg! That peg board is to die for! ❤ I am going to use this as inspiration for my craft room someday! Awesome job!

Wow. I've loved a bunch of your designs but THIS ONE?! Hands down the best one yet!!

This is the best ever! Such a wonderful family space

Amazing esp how you transformed the blue dresser to have ribbons and long wrapping paper rolls storage!

Wonderful creative place you created... Fabulous 🎊👏🏽👏🏽

Really love the pegboard and transformed dresser. 🤗

Hi Monica! I am from Africa. I just chanced on your channel and gosh!! I am literally bingeing on every single episode. You are awesome! How do you come up with all these amazing ideas anyway? I am loving every single project. A thousand thumbs up to you!

I love this family this should be a show I would watch it!!!!😀🍭

monica does it again! fabulous, organized craft room! i was especially interested in this episode because i'm converting my garage to an art studio and wanted to see what innovative ideas monica came up with...i wasn't disappointed! loved the giant pegboard (planning to make one to use for an easel when i paint) and the pegs will compensate for the various sized canvases. also loved the wall cabinets. it seemed as if the family had rolls of paper in a bookcase that allowed them to roll a sheet and tear it off, so i was surprised that disappeared. i'm not a huge fan of gray, either, but the hue that monica chose was perfect! ben was a sweetie, but monica, are you overworking these guys - lol! they change almost every week now! wooses! thanks for another stupendous episode of the weekender!

I LOVE this!! If the home owner wants to add more pops of color she could find bright nobs in bright colors for the cabinet doors.

I am a preschool teacher and I love it so much 😍😍😍👍

That peg wall is amazing! Great use of stock cabinetry.

You are so creative Monica.... I watch all your shows.

OMG!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the peg wall!!!! I'm not a big artsy person but I do want the wall for myself!!! 😍

Great job, Monica! This is amazing. Definitely one of my favorite episodes.
