My Scrapbooking Room in Progress - part 3

Now for the last part of the tour.....



This shelf is also a very inexpensive one from Staples - I store paint, buttons, ribbon, books, magazines & sewing needs on this easy to access shelf.































Scrap storage is always a dilemma I've tried them all. Keeping them in a bin works best for me. I sometimes get the best inspiration from 2 unexpected papers/color combos just waiting in the box for me....


Now for the closet.... The woman who owned the house before us put "cubbies" in the closet because she was a quilter. The doors have seen better days & were always falling off so I hung a shower curtain to hide the clutter. I really didn't do a lot of organizing here yet. It's just sorted by like theme on each shelf for now.....

















The Home Made "Clip it Up" type storage is made with a metal paper towel holder & page protectors. It holds an amazing amount of flat items & it's easy to page thru. Cost me $10









I have a metal shelf hanging outside the closet. It doesn't hold a lot but I put on fav rubber stamps. Hanging items with binder rings stretches the storage too. I have my bling, small rub-ons & small chipboard albums hanging on it.

Behind the door I have an over the door shoe caddy to hold my punches.

OK - now continuing the tour....

These shelves are on the same wall as the dresser.

Now for the most important part of any scrap area... THE DESK

I had 3 of the Michael's cubes & this week my darling hubby bought me 3 more & a piece of finish grade wood for the top to make a desk. It's very useful & stores a lot

Inside the drawers I've stored my most used tools/supplies. It's not totally finished since I still have 2 empty drawers.

The workspace though not very deep is perfect for working on a layout. I like a longer table as my last workspace was a dining room table that was wide but not long. I can sew right where the machine is if it's just a quick seam around a layout & move it to the middle for a longer quilting session.

My Scrapbooking Room in Progress

You all know we've been moving furniture all week. Several have been asking to see photos of the scrapbooking/craft room in progress. I've got things put away enough that it's presentable.... "Ta-da" - the world premier of my own little creative space (it's not a showplace like many on 2peas but I'm tickled to death to have it) I love that it's not in the living area of the house. My hubby hung the shelves that run nearly the length of the wall. It's still got a ways to go but I'm able to use it & I SO ENJOY IT!

These first photos are just taken as I go around the room.

Now I've taken more photos & put captions under it so you can see more of the details.

The old dresser is really useful as a work surface & stores so much stuff. This is to the right of the desk so still easy to access supplies.

Here's a peak what's inside:

I'll break it up into multiple posts because blogger isn't always easy to keep photos together & lined up in....
