I finally have my craftroom as set up as it is going to get and it is clean enough for me to take a few pictures. I have moved this room three times and have finally ended up in the original room I started in.
This is a small room off our laundry room, with a bathroom right next to it so I can wash my stamps without taking them all over the house.
Right as you come in, I have my new ribbon rack, my son Andy made me for my birthday. I thought I had a ton of ribbon, but to fill up some of the shelves I used small hinged jars and put my wrinkled ribbon in each one. I guess this is a good excuse to buy some more ribbon...right? I took a tip from my good friend Jeanne Jachna of
A Kept Life and got a large calendar to help me keep track of project due dates and is especially helpful to keep track of all the birthdays I like to make cards for.
I just have several portable tables wrapped around the room in a U-shape where I have my computer, printer, cutter, scorpal and cuttlebug. I normally keep that side of the table pretty clean.
This table, however is a different story. Always messy, always cluttered, always full of stamps, ink, twine and lots and lots of cardstock scraps.
Since this room doesn't have a closet, my husband put together a really large cabinet and bolted it to the wall to make it nice and secure.
It is pretty full with all of the containers of just about everything we crafters love to hoard.
This is the rolling cart where I keep my cardstock and miscellaneous PTI patterned papers. On the bottom shelf are my button jars organized by color.
That didn't take long to take a tour around my 12 x 12 room, did it? Give me about 10 minutes and it won't look anything like this anymore...I am about to start some crafting!
