Can you share photos of your scrap/craft room?

I am actually cleaning mine up right now. I will post some photos when Im done. Its nothing super fantastic, but it does get the job done!

This will be the ugly. I've never spent any money to furnish it or bought anything new for storage. Also a sleeper sofa and a bench and our old entertainment center for storage on the other 2 walls. I use the bench for scraps and papers that I'm currently using when I don't have guests and need it for seating in the dining room.

I love seeing everyone's space. My room is a shared scrap room and office. This is the scrapping side of the room.

Here is mine:

We just moved into this house; so I am still settling mine up. So I am no help.

KikiPea I love your accent wall. LOVE

Patter for the win!  OK, so everyone look at her room, then imagine the complete and total opposite of this, and that is mine.

Agh, thanks myboysnme.

The good; it stores a lot of things. I don't know what's at the very top! The bad; this is what you see when you walk into my home. There are doors that have glass (son broke one), so I took both of them off. See the cricut machine to the left? Color embellishments are in the basket on top of the machine.


An IKEA Expedit bookshelf and entertainment center. Good; lots of storage. Bad; I'm not sure what's in some of those baskets. Notice the photo boxes with painters tape? That's where I store PL cards and the tape is to keep them from getting dumped. Another bad; that carpet, but it's getting replaced soon! In the corner is Iris boxes with various themes and projects. The bad; if you want one on the bottom, you have to pull them all out.

After taking these pictures, I realize I need to do some organizing! I have a bookshelf in another room with a lot more albums.

This is some of my paper storage. The drawers are an Alex unit from IKEA.
More Alex units and some IKEA kitchen rod storage. And DH finishing building something.
My desk sits on two other Alex units.

My dies. We filled a picture frame in with sticky magnet sheets from Walmart.

My room is really tiny. It's a very small guest bedroom, about 12x12, and I've really had to work to get my organization spot on because it's so small.  I love to be able to get to my supplies quickly, but I can't handle feeling overwhelmed by them, so I needed closed storage, but easy to find storage. 

My desk is 2 small clearance kitchen stations from Big Lots that have a cabinet, 2 shelves and an expanding leaf (under $100). I keep the leafs up and have sterilite towers underneath. On one side I keep rubber stamps, on the other I keep small supplies that I want easy access to, like my twinkling H2o's, my distressing stuff, etc. My main storage is a wall of cubes from Michael's (all bought at 40-50% off, and before the quality got really crappy). I have one row of cardstock, one row for kits/pattern papers/tablets (and more cardstock). My drawers are organized by type of item. I have my clear stamps in the small vintage style cabinet behind my desk, organized Avery Elle/Jennifer McGuire style, and the lower cabinet is 8.5x11 specialty papers. The Avery Elle envelopes are the most expensive thing in my room storage wise, and I still feel like it was worth the money to reorganize.  The corner dish cabinet is buttons, brads, eyelets, etc. in jars, and adhesives/larger specialty products underneath unseen. My long closet has 2 types of storage, one door is tools, misc emb storage in an old file organizer and an old floss display case. The other side is all 12x12 towers of drawers by topic (Christmas, baby, etc.).

And...other than my cubes and plastic drawers, my stuff is all repurposed junk.  So...I'm really happy with how it turned out, but the corner cabinet cost me $35, and the vintage white one with stamps wasn't too much more.  I just painted everything white for simplicity.  The glass jars were 1/2 price at hobby lobby or yard saled. I used leftover curtains from several different moves, since I didn't have enough of any one, and they're just tied back with scrap ribbon.

My biggest problem is that I'm limited on open storage.  So...my cameo gets love-spot, and my manual die-cutter gets a dark cubby under a desk, where it's mourning it's lonely and purposeless existence. 

That is brilliant!

I have a new project!! Thank you for the idea!


I always have to resize my pics before I add them as an attachment, so I use PicResize.com and make my pic 75% smaller.

Then click Reply, then Add Attachment. Use your resized pic, and insert.

That's good to know.  I couldn't figure it out either, so I posted somewhere else and linked them.  All 3 of my pics were resized small, but one came out wonky.  I guess I can try to edit later get them all the same?
