So, here is the finished product. Well, almost finished. I still have a pile of stuff that needs to find a home and I plan to add some decorations to the walls like scrapbooked shadow boxes of my family. But this is pretty much it. I have included lots of pictures for those of you who are wanting to improve or completely redo your craft area. Hopefully some of these will give you the inspiration you need to move forward with your project.
The counter pulls out and there is enough
room for someone to scrapbook here.
There is an extra table for when my friends want to come play.
That's right, three tables for crafting on!
card making items are. I have my printer here and
a spot in the corner for my tote and slice machine.
kids memory albums, FHE lesson books, and YW stuff.
He was right, it comes in handy. I can display the
stuff I use often but don't really have a place for
and it is easy to find and grab when needed.
He screwed it into the bottom of the cabinet and all
my punches slide nicely onto it. He even made special
shaped pieces for my corner punches to sit on.
The plastic containers with handles contain a lot
of my paper grouped by category: beach, christmas, hunting, etc.
He took decorative base board, attached it to a 1x1 inch board
and attached it to the wall for my single stamps to sit in.
Not only is it a great storage solution, it looks pretty too.
You can also see a couple of the lights from the track lighting
he installed. It is true light so it makes scrapbooking at night easier.
school supplies, and flash card stuff.
colored card stock and specialty paper.
The empty hooks at the top right hold my iron.
I need to get some more holders for various other items.
Attached to the cabinet is a florescent light for extra light at this table.
It holds my Stampin' Up stamp pads, ribbon,
flowers, and various brads.
papers and kits, sewing machine, fabrics, and other items.
I know it doesn't look like it, but it IS organized.
What do you think about my craft room? I haven't had a chance to really use it yet, but I plan to start by finishing all my unfinished Super Saturday projects first. Then onto scrapbooking because I have fallen WAY behind in that area since my last girl was born. I haven't even started a scrapbook for her yet. Anyone want to come over and play?
OK, I am soooo jealous! You have done a fantastic job, it looks great. Some day I hope to have a room all to myself. Thanks for the ideas, I am sure my hubby could and will say otherwise.
ReplyDeleteWhere to begin? Your scrapbook/craft room is magnificent! I've already emailed Matt a link to your blog. :-) We are having some work done in our basement so that we can actually use it, and I have an area in mind for a craft room for myself. What you and M have accomplished is so inspiring. You are a lucky girl, indeed!
