My Craft Room!

Hello there,

OK, so fair warning here, there are a lot of pictures for you to see in this post and if you click on them you can see them larger, if you have any questions or queries then please do contact me and I hope you like my craft space!

Right, before I start with my new, updated craft room THIS is what it look like some 3 and a bit years ago, I didn't have quite as much stuff then and therefore it was actually tidy like this.

My craft room is off the kitchen so it's a perfect place for me to be and still be close to the children, plus I can of course close the door to it and leave my stuff out when I'm in the middle of creating!

OK, this is what it ended up looking like once I began to purchase a "few" more things ;-)

First picture is as you walk in, the door is behind you. To the right of my desk we finally managed to save enough, after 3 years, to have the cupboard built across where the old table was.

I was fed up with my stamps being behind me all the time so I usually had a stack of the ones I wanted to use on my desk! I decided against wallpaper in the end and I still have to paint the cupboard.

Think I should have tidied a bit before taking the "before" pics, *embarrassed face* 

Cupboard and behind me...

 

 So, moving swiftly onwards this is what my room looks like now! I chopped the worktop down so I could get my paper drawers in at the end next to each other and my next purchase is to be a new swivel chair and I'll re-locate the bench. Shelves are from IKEA, most of the rest I already had though.

 this is where I sit, my grid paper is in front of the ink pads

my relatively tidy cupboard, this is closed usually as most of the things in here are used rarely

cupboard closed and tidy ;-)

 The cupboard behind me, the door to kitchen is to the right of this.

 I want to paint it in cream and pale grey, later this summer...

 and to the left of my desk I have a lovely 50's Formica table over my drawers. I pop scraps of card in the Cropper Hopper (behind tool caddy) before I file them back away in their drawers.

OK, I hope you have enjoyed this look around? If I have missed anything or you have nay questions please comment here and I'll get back to you asap,
Thanks for visiting with me today ;-)

Stamp Room Guided Tour!

Hello,

As I may have mentioned we had an extension put on this last year ;-) and finally we have it (sort of) finished, I still have areas we need more furniture (or less) but we will have to wait 'till funds allow, enough rambling though, I will explain as we go along...
So, as you walk in this is the wall you see first, there is a window on the left hand side and this is the main area I would say, I would like shelves above the punch rails for my stamps eventually :-D. The two cupboards either end of the table (worktop) are just kitchen ones from IKEA and I have left the doors off them as I like to see what I have (or else I forget!) and I am getting a chair on wheels (from a friend -one day soon ;-)) so I can scoot to the cutting area which I will show you next...



and here is the cutting area, I am going in a clockwise direction around the room. I still need to work on this and the next areas as they are still a bit unfinished but they work for now, note colour co-ordinated bowls of smarties, more on that soon..



and this is behind me as I sit at the desk, I often have a kid or husband sat in here watching telly and/or chatting while I craft and all my stamps fit on the unit perfectly,



Well, I hope you have enjoyed this sneak peek around my tidy (today) craft room, Thanks for stopping by today. I have quite a few cards to be making so must get cracking :-)
A quick reminder about this months class, message me asap to resrve your place,
