Let's talk scraprooms

I made it    Our local quilting store did a make & take for that on Black Friday a few years back.  Now that I have the chevron look going though, I should make myself a black & white chevron one instead   

Is it one of those bean bag things?

I think the biggest thing to think is about how you scrap, what you mainly use when you scrap, how much surface space do you use? I have redone my old room at my old house twice, moved and got to rearrange things in addition to gaining a walk in closet, and just 3 days ago was thinking of a massive overhaul of my space until my dh looked at me like he was going to shoot me!

I have so much stuff, that I feel like my room is overpowered. I want simple, big creating surface, good work chair, and everything else to be clean lines. Right now, I just feel like there is always stuff everywhere and I cannot fit a work table that will comfortably accommodate the space I need when I scrap. I have the cubes from Michaels, and I do like them; I just have so many that it feels ridiculous.

I know with the way that I am always changing my mind and wanting to move and redecorate and remodel that buying custom cabinetry would be a waste for me. It was something we talked about when meeting with the builder of our home. I was so indecisive with just thinking about making something permanent and getting it perfect that my anxiety talked me out of committing to going that route.

I clicked on your link and it works. Just a heads up.

Here is my space. I've made a few changes since these were taken but it's such a mess right now, I won't scare you with pics. I have a new light fixture now and shelves between the windows. All furniture if Ikea. I believe the drawer unit is no longer available though. 


My craft space

That's so exciting!

I have a pinterest board for scrap spaces too.   But I can't believe Sherry's isn't in there. I too have always loved her spot.

There was an old thread on two peas that linked to this blog and the organizational challenge.  I think it's a great way to really help you think about your needs and how to store things.
Wookiemouse Organization Challenge  I'll be going through this process myself as we're moving too.

I love my craft room, but if I were to build a new home I would have hardwood floors instead of carpet, add great lighting, have an area with a sink and add a table to do standing work. I have the white desks from Pottery Barn and some of those ladder shelves and I love all the furniture, but sometimes it would be great to have a taller desk for some tasks.

Oh that table is awesome. I would love to have a island type workstation but it just wouldn't work in my room. But I can still look at all these fabulous rooms and dream!
