When you look at another scraper's space...

I like to see the decorating, first of all. Color, style, furniture. It's fun to see someone's personality in their space.

After that, storage. I learn a lot from the innovative ways that people store all of their different items.

Third, there's the "holy h*ll, they have a lot of stuff" factor. I enjoy seeing that other people are way more out of control than I am.

I just love to see how they laid out the space and how they use color......

I like to see the environments where creativity happens. I also like to see how other crafters store their supplies. If they use antique or vintage items for storage and/or decor, all the better!

I look at how they have their stuff organized, what it's organized in and how it's all laid out within the room. Do they use specific work zones? If so, for what? What kinds of crafts do they do if they do other things too, and how is that stuff incorporated? I love seeing how people repurpose vintage things for crafty storage, or new things that they made over to LOOK vintage. Do they display any of their own work in their space, and if so, what and how? 

I'm trying to figure out the best way to organize my hoard of stuff in my newly renovated space once I cull a bunch of the things I know I won't use. I've barely started and it's already overwhelming me because everything is all mixed up in a bunch of different boxes which makes it hard to collect like items with like items so I can decide where to put anything. Looking at how other people store and display their stuff has given me some good ideas for once I get some things sorted out.

I'm always looking for new and better ways to store my stuff. For me, if it's out of sight, it's totally out of mind so I have to have my stuff out where I can see it. Trouble with that is that it can look awfully cluttered at times. So I'm always on the lookout for clever ideas that might work in my space. And then, it's the decorating / paint colour, etc. I so want to repaint my room... just don't seem to have the energy to pack everything up right now!

The environment and what type of scrapper they are. Just curious. I like to see real scrappers with real scrapbooking rooms, especially if they are a lot different than I am. I love it when it is a hobbled together sort of room with someone making do with what they have. I love to see actual product out and about and in use.

While I do like looking at good decor and organization, I've noticed that I have little interest, beyond a glance, at the perfectly beautiful scrapbooking rooms where there is little evidence that they actually scrap - even if you figure in that they tidied up for the photos, kwim? Too many unopened packages and I move on.

I have to admit I do especially love looking at those rooms.  I love my half a room space which, aside from having nowhere to store albums, is just about the perfect size for me, but I do like to imagine what it would be like to have some of those spaces and supplies.

I look for pretty decor and good organizing ideas. There is definitely a "nosy" factor, too!

I love seeing how people store there supplies, do they have built in shelves or cupboards, use bookcases or hutches, do they have a large or small space and how do they get the best use out of that space. I also love to see rooms in beautiful colours and decorated simply and but with maximum impact.

ETA - Yes to all of the above. I love looking at other people's craft rooms.

Definitely looking for organization ideas, specific containers and pieces that I could adapt into a non-conventional space. I definitely perk up when I see someone has built a room that looks put together instead of just sort of sagging across a wall with all sorts of different bins stacked up -- that drives me a bit crazy. I'm always looking for ways to store stuff within reach but out of sight because I can't stand the clutter, so closets and shelves and carts are my thing.
But you know, I even like the ugly or crazy room pictures because it's fun to see where other people have fun and learn more about them and myself in the experience. For example, the Frugal Crafter's crafting space -- I could never work in a room that chaotic. And yet if you watch her videos, you see there's a method to her madness and she knows where everything is, which is nuts. So I always watch her for ideas anyway. People with crazy spaces have usually tried a little of everything and have lots to compare.

I look at how they store things - and am envious that they have a dedicated space to work in....

I love the pretty rooms with closed storage. I'm one of those scrappers who needs her stuff put away, but accessible. So I get overwhelmed looking at rooms with lots of open shelving and stuff that is out everywhere. Even if it's all perfectly organized, it's like I can't concentrate on what the room owner is saying because it's so visually stimulating for me. Ha.

So I gravitate towards rooms with built in cabinets or Expedits with lots of closed containers in the shelves (baskets, bins, etc.). My room is attempting to go in that direction.

I love seeing how these closed-container scrappers then organize their goodies in a way that works for them. I've gotten some good ideas by watching!

I also love looking at how people decorate their space, especially if they use things they've made/altered. And paint colors! It seems like this is one of those things that really captures the personality of the scrapper, so I love looking at what they picked and why.

Interesting question! I always love to see one large pik of the room that shows the walls, the desk/ tables, windows, and the way it's all laid out. I love clean lines and
some minimalism---both of which I am NOT good at ---LOL! Great example was a lonnnnggg time ago when Lisa Brown Cavney (?) I think her name was---? I LOVED
her pages and I LOVED her very minimalist scrapbook room-----since her profession was engineering, I could see that in her layouts/ her scrap room. As I said,
I love to SEE rooms like that, but they're not realistic for ME---just fun to look at----! I've noticed I love minimalist black and white decor when I see it on HGTV, a movie, a TV show---
fun to LOOK at, but wow----I can't imagine actually hanging out in a large living room with vast space, say a black floor, nothing on the walls, and some white/ perfect furniture.


When people post LOTS of piks of storage and their supplies, I look at a few, then usually lose interest.
So for me, it's about how the room looks OVERALL.....it is SO fun to see all the different rooms, and some of the wall colors are soo pretty!!!
