Craft Room Reveal

I can now share the finished craft room.  As usual, with ANY craft room, this will likely continue to be a work in progress. As I ponder a new or different way to store some things - I will continue to do that. But for the most part, it is finished. Before any work could begin, I first had to plan. For me -- it is best if I can make a plan on paper and so I did!

I printed out some free graph paper at 1/2 inch to one foot scale. I measured everything that "had to be in my stamp room.   I cut out pieces to represent each thing and put removable adhesive on the back.  Then I could make some adjustments as I planned and as the work progressed.

 This is just as you enter my stamp room.  Then have a look at the counter space. 
 

 

 My son-in-law built me three narrow shelves and attached them to the wall just above the counter top.  The shelves are 2 1/2 inches wide -- and then custom spaced to fit the height of the jars or bottles. The shelves run the entire length of the counter top.

As you come into my room, punch storage is just the behind the door!

 

All stampers and scrapbookers  use a lot of ribbon.  But the question is where do you store it?  And how to store it so you can get at it easily?  My solution  is PVC gutters attached to the wall!

 

A central place in my craft room is my stamp desk or table ---

 

On my desk top -- and in the desk drawer -- are the things I use quite frequently.

 



And then behind my stamp desk----

To the right of my chair is a 2 drawer filing cabinet with  scraps of paper all filed according to colors.

To the right of my stamp desk (and on the wall that is angled) is a book shelf for my DVD stamp cases.

And then any stamper or scrapbooker needs card stock, correct? And then there are embossing folders -- they are in three drawers to the right of the dark blue filing cabinet.

In each base cupboard there are 3 pull-out shelf drawers. Very useful in storing a lot of things. 

And now for the Bigz Dies and the Movers and Shapers dies.

 

And the cupboards hold all sorts of things!

 

I hope seeing the various areas of my stamp room has helped to inspire you with some different ways to store your craft items.  If you have any questions about my storage areas, please ask. I will try to answer in a timely manner.

 

 

Have a great stamping (and organizing) day!
