The scraproom was there already and half of it was done but my hubby and my son gave me a wonderful birthday present: they built another desk and shelf units for me to store more of my stash and to have a lot more space to create!!! I'm so blessed!
The room is big and with a lot of light. It's almost square, about 3,5 m x 3,5mt (12,6 mq = 135 square feet if someone is interested!) Here are some pictures I took this morning.
Picture taken from the door.
My sewing station and to the left my computer station .
On the other wall to the left of my computer station is the layout station :) You can see my Fiskars trimmer and a light green mat on the desk. That is all the old part. To the left of the layout station is the NEW part. There will be my "tool" station where I will use the Slice, the Bind-It-All, the Paper Gator and also the Xyron. Now there are some metal boxes with Making Memories and Dabber acrylic paints. (they will go to another place as soon as it is ready). I'valways hated that I had to keep the big tools in their packages or somewhere "hidden" and that's why I didn't use them as often as I would have liked. Underneath the desk there are boxes with foam stamps and miscellaneous stuff. And underneath are all my albums (which were previously all over the house).
This is the NEW desk. Oh how I love it! It's 2,10 m long and 85cm wide.(sorry Kiki, that's where your bed was!!) It's huge and that's how I wanted it. That is my painting/inking/misting station. On top of the baskets (right along the décor strip on the wall) will go a shelf unit on top of which I will put all my inks and glimmer mists and acrylic paints. I also want to buy a large vinyl or plastic sheet to cover the top of the desk. My craft sheet looks kinda tiny in all that huge area :) Do they sell large craft sheets somewhere? Anybody?
That's my inspiration corner.
Here my hubby will build 10-12 very shallow drawers for my stamps and other "short" supplies. I want shallow drawers because in the normal size drawers the stuff just gets piled up and then you don't find anything.
ah, in the black baskets beside the desk are my punches and adhesives.
Here's an overview of the new desk unit taken from the window.
In this picture (taken from the door) you can see the drawers of a 2,5 m wide wardrobe.
I keep all my patterned papers and cardstock in the Cropper Hopper paper holders.
I do have a lot of space and a lot of stash. Now with this new space I just feel the creative juices flowing and that I'm going to be creating more and more :)))
I contemplated the idea of an island in the middle of the room where I would scrap and paint (I stand while I work) but then decided against it. I feel I have more room and I can store more items this way.
And here are my worthy carpenters:
