Craft Room Revamped!

Yes, it's done! I'm so happy with the way it came out. As you probably noticed by now, I like to have a place for everything and everything in its place :) As you can see this all came out perfectly and with the added bonus that I have practically everything I need within arm's reach! I don't know if that makes me organised or just lazy, my crafty friends, but I'll let you decide. I'm just too excited and happy that it worked out that way! This is one view of my desk with my embellishment centre, my cricut and all my odds and ends in the different boxes. I love my see-thru boxes - I keep things like stickles, glues, glitters, alcohol inks, cuttlebug folders, clear stamps, die cuts, etc. in them. On the top shelf I have a few of the items I make on display. I don't only do papercrafts, I also make diaper cakes, wedding towel cakes, gift baskets, party favours, and the list goes on. I keep all my records filed neatly in the different binders.This is a view of the other side of my desk and the major new addition to my room. These cubicle units that I got at IKEA are just great not only for the added storage, but my hubby made a top that goes over them both, and that gives me extra counter work surface. This is where I do all my cutting, cuttlebugging (word?), etc. At the end against the wall, I have drawer units which I use to keep all my paper stacks. I can put 4 to 5 stacks in each drawer. They are all labelled by season, colour, etc. On this pic. you can see that I was very generous and gave hubby a little corner of my room for him to pursue his hobby which is painting. Since the window is on that side of the room, it was perfect for him.
I had already posted this on an earlier post, but here it is again as the view from opposite side of my desk. The large cupboard is where I keep all my things for the non papercrafting goodies. And yes, everything in it is also all stored in boxes. I just love pulling out what I need, work with it and put it back. Easy peasy!

    1. Not sure which storage units you're referring to. The plastic boxes are from Walmart. The cubbies and bookshelves are from Ikea. Please email me at lenfon@msn.com if you need any other info. :-)
