The best part about this room is that I now have space to stamp with my 7-year old niece. She is totally into it. Here's a note my mom found in her bedroom to me - she 'needs' to make March cards! How cute is that. She has a permanent spot right across the table from me.

The wood chest on the floor my dad made me many years ago from an old tool box. I decopauged cosmo cricket paper onto the sides. I spray painted the MM wall shelf brown. I had an extra brown birdie so placed above the door.

Just showing how I have my clear stamps stored, and above that PTI 8x8 paper pads.

This is how I store cardstock and ribbon. Above the ribbon are little plastic boxes I got at Storables to hold things like stickles, floss, all Melissa Francis doo dads, etc.

Here's the piece that started it all. It's supposed to be for a TV, which would go in the center. When I saw the CD holder up top I knew it would be the perfect place to store stamps and small paper packs, and it is. All my nestabilities are on the wall where I can just turn and grab them. It's kind of funny how most things in stores hang on a peg so I can bring them home and hang them on my racks too. I love the glass work surface. Mainly because it can't be damaged but here's another interesting thing: clear stamps stick to it! When I'm done with one I just lay it on the glass. When I use backgrounders I always lay them face up, ink them, then put the paper on top and with this table they stick to it like they would an acrylic block. Bonus:)

The upper cabinets are for things I need to get to often: magazines, alterables, tins, etc. The lower piece is a kitchen island with a butcher block top. The drawers hold mostly punches. Top three drawers are (1) all hot fix items (2) embossing tool and powders (3) scraps. I love cutting both paper and fabric at counter height. That lamp I got on ebay a few years ago and I love it because it has 2 outlets on the base of the lamp so I can plug tools into it rather than having to plug them into the wall.

New Craft Room

The wall color is called Forget Me Not and is a Benjamin Moore color. I really like how it looks with the brown carpet. This used to be a spare bedroom so the brown chair in the corner doubles as a twin bed when needed. It's a twin sleeper. The tree and birds are decals from www.dalidecals.com. All furniture is IKEA except the chairs.
