My Stamp Space

I finally got my scrap room redo complete and I thought I would take this opportunity to share some pics with you all.

First a note or two about what you will see....

The L shaped desk was built by my father. I knew what I wanted, so I drew it out on a sheet of paper and he built it. It is made of mdf and trimmed out to look more built in. All of my paper is stored vertically, on the wall, in vertical containers. The solids are separated by color and the patterns by theme or manufacturer. Dad also created and hung a custom sized pegboard for me. I use it to house my most frequently used tools and new inspirations.

I built my own form of a Clip It Up, using a curtain rod and some binder rings. It is hung on the wall right in front of my work area, so I can grab what I want as I work.

My flowers, buttons, and small embellishments are separated by color in jars. These jars are housed in my wall organizing unit.

You will notice my die cut machine. It is on a rolling microwave cart, so that I can pull it out whenever I want to use it. There are shelves below the Cricut, where I keep some of my idea books as well as scrapping stuff for my daughter. She loves to come in and work, every now and then. Speaking of my daughter, you will see a large pair of scissors hanging on the main door of the room. She painted those for me to decorate the room with. The lime green curtain covers the closet. Inside there is even more shelving filled with boxes. I have large flowers, idea books, empty albums, my large adhesive machines, binding machine, fabric.... you name it.... all where I can get them as needed.
I really like the fact that my sewing machine is so accessible! We cut a small hole in the desk top so we could run the cords right through. I just uncover the machine when I want to sew and scoot it forward. I'm ready to sew in a second!! No more having to dig it out of a closet somewhere and set it up on a table.
Can you tell that I love this room??? Seriously, it is my favorite Getaway. It's not one of those fancy ones that you see online in some places, but it works for me and that's what counts!
