Where is your scrap space located?

I have an upstairs extra bedroom for my craft space. I like it, it is quiet and DH has to come all the way up stairs if he decides I need to be disturbed.

I close the door when I am in there that way I cannot see anything that will distract me such as undone housework.

Extra bedroom upstairs. I also work from home and use that space as my office. But that means that after a day at work I just want to get out of there and I hardly ever spend time there scrapping.

My room is in the basement and I LOVE it, but our basement is somewhat above-ground so I get a lot of natural light. I used to scrap on the dining room table. Pros and cons to that for sure. Pros were that I could scrap ANYTIME because I was always close to the family when the kids were small. Cons were that I had little to no storage space for supplies and I'd have to haul everything out and put it all away when I was done. The ONLY negative about my space is that it's too small... or maybe the problem is that I've just got too much stuff!

Well we live in a apt and its very very small. I have never had my own space but when we moved here I set up my own space off the the kitchen in a walk in utility/pantry type of room. It has lots of shelves and also houses our hot water heater as power box! I'm grateful for it but it had no windows and no power outlets at all. I call it "The Cave". I have nightmares about my hot water heater exploding and my stuff being runined haha.

I do wish I had my space in the livingroom so I can chat with DH or watch DVDs while I work but I'm just happy to have what space I do have right now.

Right now, its in a walk-in closet in our master bedroom. It's small but it works! My DH added some nice shelves, my smaller table and and peg board I had in my old room. That room was combined with our home office, but our youngest came along and he needed a room I've also scrapped on our dining room table and used the pantry as my storage.
I miss my room since I had a bigger table to scrap and my oldest (my only at the time) could play in there. And my youngest now tries to be in my closet, but its just too crammed for extra people, no matter how small! I also liked being in the center of things when in scrapped at the DR table, but for messes, the room and my walk-in is preferred as they have doors. Every space he had their own pros and cons, I'm just happy I've got a space!

I have a studio that was an extra bedroom/office. It has shutters that open up to the living room below (like a loft), so I can see the tv from my work table. I like because I don't feel isolated from the family, but I have dedicated work space where I can leave projects out.

My scraproom is in our basement, but sometimes I'll grab a basket of supplies and scrap on the living room floor. It just depends on if I want pure silence, or TV as my background noise. I would say both work, but then I don't scrap very often, so maybe neither work. lol

I have a craft room at the far end of our house, I actually miss scrapping in the living room and having my husband around! I got more done in the chaos than I do sitting back there by myself with the internet lol. However, I dont miss having to pack/clean everything as soon as im done!

When I first married I had a room that was away from the rest of the family.  It was hard because I felt isolated and couldn't hear what other things were going on.  My computer was in the midst of the chaos, so I spent more time hanging out than crafting.  

When we bought our current home it had 5 bedrooms, a great room and a separate game room.  One of the bedrooms was off the great room away from the other bedrooms and the bathroom.  It has an outside door (that is never used) and is right off the room where my family watches TV.  It is also right around the corner from my kitchen.  I can hear the timer go off, when someone comes to the front door.  Actually someone coming to the house is not a problem because I have a 3 German Shepherd alarm system.

I debated and posted on 2 peas where to put my craft room . . . but my mom finally told me, "You will not have guests that often, but you could craft every day!"  So I took the room that could have been an isolated guest room used maybe once a month or so.  Plus she mentioned I would be less likely to have long term guests if they were on a queen futon in the game room.  


I LOVE MY ROOM!  I am cleaning and re-organizing right now, so I don't want to share.  Someday it will be clean.  All my furniture is re purposed, so it's not beautiful so to speak.  But it works for me!  With all that said my DH has the entire area above a 4 car garage for his magazines and model building.  He will go up and spend time with our sons, and sometimes on his own.  But when they are watching football or movies for the 4th time I can still be a part, but have time to craft.       

Basement. No windows, pretty isolated, and I have carved a 10x8 space in the corner for my desk and supplied. I'm pretty jammed in. But we have such a SMALL house, I'm really lucky to have any space at all!

Bedroom 2 and 3. And yet I still scrap at kitchen table o coffee table.

I scrap in my coffee table in my living room and keep my supplies organized in some shelves in my dining room. I do have to purge and get rid of more stuff though.

I've taken a corner of my kitchen. The front window, next to the door and the mini fridge (which is right by the real fridge... we're not wild over here). My desk is 6' and I have an Expedit beside me that's another 2.5'. That's it.

My scrap room is a bedroom 2 feet across the hallway from my bedroom. We added a fifth bedroom downstairs so the boys could stay together downstairs. The office is right next to my scrap room. Love having two extra rooms upstairs that cannot be used a guest rooms.
