Get Crafty

These Dallas homes make it easy to work your favorite craft like a pro

When the holiday season comes into view, we tend to turn up the creativity with arts and crafts projects: completing a gorgeous holiday wreath, building festive centerpieces or creating window displays that showcase a wintery scene. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a room in the house dedicated to storing craft supplies so all of the glue guns and fabric have a home?

Dave Perry-Miller & Associates present three gorgeous estates with impressive craft rooms tailor-made for organized creativity.

The French-influenced estate at 5800 Armstrong Pkwy. features a galley-style craft room with wall-to-wall bin storage to keep everything from buttons to brushes in working order. The checkered flooring provides a whimsical touch too. This five-bedroom Park Cities home features high-end finishes throughout and includes a chef’s kitchen with soapstone countertops, an outdoor wood-burning pizza oven, a second-floor lounge, hand-pillowed limestone walls in the sunroom, an elevator, an art gallery and even an exterior apartment.

The six-bedroom estate at 5037 Radbrook Place offers a craft room with floor-to-ceiling shelving and hanging rods. Built for the serious crafter, the room also has an island with storage cabinets. This Spanish-inspired property sits on a treed 1-acre lot and has four living areas, two dining areas, a media room and an exercise room. Outdoors, you’ll find a pool and a cabana.

4013 Southwestern Blvd. is a five-bedroom traditional estate with an all-white craft room neatly tucked behind the mudroom. Crafting is easy to accomplish here because the large room offers plenty of counter and cabinet space and natural light. This home also features high-end finishes such as 5-inch oak herringbone-pattern plank hardwoods, Calcutta marble tiling, onyx countertops and custom lighting.

Dallas Habitat For Humanity home store gets all the garage doors

Doors doors doors at Habitat For Humanity

It's doors doors doors at the Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity ReStore, the discount home furnishings store at 2800 N. Hampton Rd., thanks to a charitable donation from Perry Homes, a major Dallas-area homebuilder.

Habitat for Humanity ReStores is a chain of home goods and hardware stores that sell new and donated items on discount, with a constantly-changing inventory of furniture, appliances, building materials, lighting, and home decor at up to 90 percent off retail price.

It's a favorite for homeowners, landlords, contractors, interior designers, and recyclers who prefer to re-use rather than buy new. Lighting is always expensive and they often have amazing fixtures, from places like hotels that have undergone renovations or stores that have closed, at discount rates.

In Dallas there are also stores in Lake Highlands, Garland, and Walnut Hill/North Dallas.

Perry Homes donated more than 400 new garage doors, valued at almost $500,000, to support Dallas Habitat’s mission to provide safe, affordable housing for families throughout the community.

The garage doors are valued at $1,000 or more each, but will be sold for 70 percent off. Models include

Clopay Classic Steel Long Panel 8 ft x 7 ft Non-Insulated White Garage Door without Windows
Clopay Classic Steel Long Panel 16 ft x 7 ft Non-Insulated White Garage Door without Windows
Steel Carriage House Garage Doors - Clopay Coachman

According to a spokesperson from Perry Homes, they became available following shifts in the company's supply chain during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Rather than allowing this inventory to go unused, we saw a meaningful opportunity to support local families and further strengthen our ongoing partnership with Habitat for Humanity," the spokesperson says.

Perry Homes has an ongoing partnership with the Dallas Area for Habitat for Humanity that includes projects such as the recent Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build Dallas 2025 project, in which the organization spends a day building a home for a local Dallas family.

In addition to selling the doors, Dallas Area Habitat For Humanity can use them on future builds.
