Well it is finally done an I am all moved in. My hubby did all of the work on this and I think he did an awesome job! The room used to be our third car garage that we had incorporated into the house after it caught on fire in July of 2008. Here is a shot from the hallway entrance.
My JetMax storage cubes and Best Organizers on the East Wall:
I love my Best Organizers... I keep all sorts of tools and suplies in them... and they hold A LOT!
I store my clear stamps in a Scrap Rack... it is so easy to flip through the pages to find what I am looking for...
My cutting table, ribbon, and Nestabilities:
I have my Nesties stored on chipboard rectangles I got at JoAnn with magnet sheets glued to them. I then put them in plastic cases I bought at Office Depot and hung them (sorted by shapes) on a drapery rod with curtain hooks...
On the other side of the room is my desk... my hubby calls it "Command Central". I have my iMac, a small tv to watch while I am on the computer, and a larger tv mounted on the wall above the desk to use at the island and stamping desk. He even put a mini fridge next to my desk! He's definitely a keeper!
The view back towards the door and the closet.
My rubber stamps are unmounted and put in CD and DVD cases. I originally used EZ Mount but am now in the process of gonig bare rubber and stamping with an acrylic block and Tack & Peel. Here is a close-up of the wire storage in the picture above.
Beautiful room! I think the award for "she who has the most stuff wins!" goes to you! LOL~

Hi, I found your wonderful room on the Organizing blog, and I must say that I just love your room...If I had a room like yours I am sure I would loose a ton of weight. I would never leave...lol...Truely this is the best and most well organized room I have ever seen. I am happy for you that you could make such a wonderful place for you to play in. Congrats. Lisa g
ReplyDeleteI am in love with this room! Great job! It inspires me to get off my bottom and get my craft room organized.
ReplyDeleteHave you given any thought to adopting? I COULD make myself available! Thanx for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWowza! I am in awe of your bountiful blessings...in your space and your hubby. Enjoy yourself in your new room.
ReplyDeleteLOVE how organized that room is!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your room! I have been trying to firgure out some stamp storage, but I have so many different sets. SU CTMH Studio G and more!
ReplyDeleteLove your room though. Is it always so neat and tidy? HaHa!
oh goodness! Outstanding room...can you tell me about your island desk? did you buy it that way or did you build if from a top and cubicles from like Target? I love the glass top as well!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue... The ends of the island are Closet Maid units from Target (about $50 each) and the top is a cheap door that we bought at Lowe's , painted, and covered with glass. You can use a hollow core door if you use the glass because it gives it extra strength. I actually got the idea for the island from Cindy Lawrence's blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful room and so very organized! Great job! My thought when I was looking at it is that I would never leave it....LOL!
ReplyDelete*is agog* great job!
ReplyDeletewow !!!!!!!!! i am impressed
ReplyDeleteWow, I have a room but nothing to this magnitude. Great job and hats off to your hubby for being interested in your hobby. I have one like that too and he has helped to set up my room with every move. He even insists I take the largest bedroom! What a man!
ReplyDeletei love the way you displayed your acrylic stamps!! really looks like a catalogue.. fantatstic space!
ReplyDeleteWow i'm so jealous, you have an amazing craft room.

Very beautiful room. I am sure you'll enjoy the space for many years!
ReplyDeleteI was blog hopping when I stumbled onto your room - OH MY GOODNESS! It's amazing and gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your photos.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn C.
Oh My Gosh....this is simply AWESOME, Cindy! I love every square inch of it! And look at how organized you are! What an inspiration!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind admitting that I am envious of how well organized you have your space. I want to be like you when I FINALLY grow up! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is by far my dream room- This room is amazing and if I will have a big craft room one day, this is how I want it to look and be organised.Wow, im speechless.Off to show hubby this amazing space.
ReplyDelete(DROOL!) An AMAZING crafting space - incredibly well organized! Gosh...
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous. I'm going to save this post so I can shoot for having a room like this someday!
ReplyDeleteQuestion, where did you get the island/desk? I'm really wanting one for my craft room remodel once we move and I'm having a hard time finding one that I like. All of my other furniture is white so a desk like yours would go perfectly.
Thanks!
~Cassandra~
Love your room, great ideas!
ReplyDeleteStupid - but potentially not stupid - question: What are Best Organizers? Is that a brand name? If so, where can you get them, and do they have a website? Any information would be very timely, since I'm re-doing my room as we speak, and need to figure out how to organize my paper and stamps!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

To answer a few questions:
ReplyDelete-the island was made from two Closet Maid organizers from Target (about $50 each) and the top is a hollow core door painted white and covered with glass. I got the info for the island from Cindy Lawrence's blog.
- The Best Craft Organizer can be purchased here: http://www.bestscrapbookshelf.com/
wow..wow!! If I had a room like that, I'd think I'd died and gone to stamping heaven!!!
ReplyDelete:)
Beautiful Room. I'm still in the process of creating my space. I wish I had seen your table idea sooner!
ReplyDeleteBTW, how do you like your Pixie Plus? Have you used it yet?
Thanks,
Dawn
wow ... I am totally jealous of your room ... looks like a great place to PLAY!
ReplyDeleteOMG - Some of your storage solutions have inspired me - despite me thinking that i'd nailed it only this week LOL...
ReplyDeleteWould you like to come over to the UK and do a makeover... thats a job for you - craftroom makeover diva...

ReplyDeleteMy son is moving out in June so soon I will have a room to organise and yours is my inspiration.
Where did you buy your wall mounted stamp pad racks, I just love them?
Many thanks
Shelly B
Magnificent room!!! TFS.
ReplyDeleteI am in the process of organizing my craft room as well and have to say I am completely in AWE!! Thank you for the ideas! I thought I had a lot of stuff (and I do - more than a little overwhelming to organize without help but this room is totally my inspiration. I have to ask where you got the book for your clear stamps though. LOVE that!
ReplyDeleteYour room is FABULOUS!!!!!!! Enough said!
ReplyDeleteOMG this is fabulous!! Can I borrow your husband to design and make one for me ??
ReplyDeleteYour room is absolutely gorgeous and the layout and organization are awesome. May I ask what your punches are on? I am in the process of organizing my small room and love what you have done.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your craft room. It has it all!! Couple questions: What are the measurements of your room? Where did you purchase your stamp pad wall organizers?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing pics. (Oh, and I'm very green with envy.) Hehe.

ReplyDeleteHugs,

I am so moving in with you and there's no stopping it! This is such an awesome craft room and my dream! I would never come out of it. Why bother?
ReplyDeleteI just found your fantastic room from SCS. There are so many things I LOVE about your room, I dont know where to start and keep my comment brief.
ReplyDeleteThe island, I have drawn this thing out using the same items as you have soooo many times.My idea came from the $1000 pottery barn version.The only thing I didnt think of was the glass. LOVE it ! I already have the end units, just using them in other area of my room.
The BEST Organizers??? Love. I have looked at these on line for a couple years. Was never sure. But I love how you have yours divided and labeled. That is exactly how I scrap. I am sooooo copying your Nestie storage. Mine are in CD cases with magnet and sit in a basket on my desk, but I love how you can just flip through yours and they are right in front of your face, without taking up space on your table! I have saved your room to my "Favorite Scrap/Stamp Rooms" and when we finally build our house I will be borrowing many of your ideas.
LOVE how organized you are. I am anal that way but still need to edit my junk. Thats were I could use your advice.
I think I better stop now, not very good at keeping it brief :)
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYour room is PHENOMENAL!!! :) I absolutely love it!
-Jennifer
Wow, This is my first visit to your blog. I am blown away!!! Your organization skills are so AWE-Inspiring!

Did you tell where you got or used for your stamp ink pads. Really like that idea. Beautiful room! Every thing about it is awesome.
ReplyDeleteLove your organization style. I too adapted my embossing folders, dies and stamps so that I could easily flip through my stuff and get what I need. its all organized and easy to find. Kudos to you. I too have tried storing my things in different but I found was the most user friendly.
