Right now I don’t have a studio or a work space so I scrapbook on the couch. I could use the dining room table but the couch is more comfortable and has the best view of the television. Usually, I end up with scrapbooking products all over the couch, the floor next to the couch, and the kitchen island. 😂

My desk top is our old kitchen butcherblock peninsula countertop. It had bar seating so it is plenty deep and almost too long, but I don't want to cut it. It is sitting on top of jetmax cubes from Ms.

I am really luck and have my own space, its a kind of a awkward area of bonus space that had been the old garage long before we bought the house. Currently my desk situation is a long built in that runs between two concrete support pillars downstairs, it is lovely but it was not made to the depth that I wanted it and although long it is rather narrow, previous to that I had an old 4 seater farm table and that was my most favourite of all the "desks" that I have had. I have started to realise that I have a preference for standing when I create so am looking into what kind of furniture I want to buy to make that happen.

I have a folding desk (that I keep open and up) that is about the size of a card table. It's in the corner of my bedroom.

I have a large U-shaped desk in my corner of the basement. Unfortunately I have so much stuff that it is covered (with fairly organized supplies) and I have only the pull-out keyboard tray to work on these days.

I have the pottery barn bedford project table from about 15 years ago and use it in the middle of my room as an island. I like to walk up and work off and on throughout the day. So the island height is perfect for my work style.

I have two IKEA desks which attach to Kallax bookshelves (where I keep all my supplies). It is usually enough space, but it gets crowded fast!

Back half of my bedroom. Which means I can't craft when hubby is sleeping. However at least I have one! Got a decent sized table to work on. Shelving unit on top of desk. Various storage around me. So not much space left for me and my chair but I can get around. My Cricut sits on a old computer desk I used to use until I found a bigger one for my gaming computer. I am able to keep my mats in the pull out drawer that is for a keyboard so big plus for me. And it is in a quiet area of the house.

I use our first dining room table that we bought. (We had hand-me-downs before) it is a rectangle table that with a lead is a square.
I keep it in the square configuration.

I’ve recently switched my dedicated craft area to storage as I share the study with my hubby and when he’s working I can’t craft. I now craft on the dinner table.
I’ve been trying out some resin crafts recently too, checkout my blog if you’re interested in my early attempts and my latest paper projects.

Mine is the same as the Pottery Barn Bedford project table except black. Not sure the original source as I bought it on Craigslist years ago. It’s a great work surface/storage unit but I am finding that I want a lower work station to sit at versus stand these days. We are moving soon so I am debating keeping it. It’s very big and heavy AF! I would really love one of those create room dream boxes that I can close up and everything is contained in one unit versus having a room full of ikea stuff.

Thanks for sharing your desks/tables/etc. I stand at my counter-height project table (ie long-ago discontinued PB Bryce Project Table, the predecessor to the PB Bedford Project Table) that sits in the middle of my dedicated craft room. Not only do I like the "bird's eye" perspective to get things straight, but it enables me to access supplies & put-away-as-I-go. Mine is the same as the Pottery Barn Bedford project table except black. Not sure the original source as I bought it on Craigslist years ago. It’s a great work surface/storage unit but I am finding that I want a lower work station to sit at versus stand these days... IIRC both Pier 1 & Costco, in addition to PB Bedford, offered a black cube-style project table. Like you, I'm considering the addition of a simple desk. It would serve as an option, in addition to my oversized comfy chair, to sit & draft journaling, sketch, etc., not replace my project table. My only concern is that it may make my room feel crowded.

I’m very interested in the dream box for when we move, too, but not for another 3 years. If you decide to go the dream box route, I’d love to hear your experience with it.

2 IKEA pieces - Lagkapten/Alex desk (seems to have replaced the long Linnmon/Alex desk) & a 59x29 1/2 Linnmon table top on Olov adjustable legs because I like to work standing sometimes.

I found a lovely 4x4 standing height work table from Staples years ago. It folds up to 2x4, if needed, and has a huge drawer underneath the table. It actually looks like a piece of furniture and stands in the middle of my scrap loft. Beneath my picture window, I have stacked Stor In Style cubes that house my color card stock and pattern papers. I have placed a piece of melamine countertop across the cubes (countertop is from Home Depot). It’s 6 feet long and standing height. These are my two main work surfaces. I scrap at the work table. The countertop holds my laptop, Procision trimmer and Epson PM 400. It’s kind of my cut and print station but I can create there, too. There is also a drafting office chair in my space that I use when I am tired of standing and allows me to sit at counter height.

I have a very old dining room table with Formica top, with the leave in it is 3' x 5'. An old desk that also serves as a bill center, and organizes my home office supplies. They sit in the center of the room. Scrapbook Room After by Neva Cole, on Flickr

Currently I craft in bed on bed trays. I have a huge craft room but it feels cozy to pull up my mobile IKEA craft cart (?) and make something.

I bought this desk in March and I've been loving it. It's gives me enough space to have my most used supplies on it but still have room to scrap.

I just purchased the new Pottery Barn project table. It's standing height. I'm excited!

I have a small craft room (used to be a bedroom) and have Ikea Linnmon tables along one wall. I have an area for crafting as well as my Big Shot and Scan n Cut on it.
