Here are a few close up shots from around the room. I will start at the top and comment on each one. The first picture is a re purposed microwave cart. It holds a lot of stuff. Die cuts and acrylic stamps are organized in containers. Paper scraps sized for the die cuts are stored in the basket. The drawer holds cutting tools. A 12 x 12 cutting mat is on top of the cart. A cute wire basket holds small bottles of glitter and flowers.
Next is a collection of favorite photos. They are from trips to Disney and other places. Below the shelves are storage drawers holding miscellaneous items. These came for Target long ago.
The next photo is ink pad and ribbon storage. The idea is to have like items grouped together for easy use. All the stamping stuff is within arms reach. This is stored on top of an old chest of drawers. Each drawer has wooden stamps and supplies stored by category.
The bulletin board is next. It is more of an inspiration board. It will hold favorite photos and new scrap supplies. These are the things I hope to scrap soon. I am sure Sarah will fill the chalkboard with art. I love the rainbow of paint stored on the shelf. On the table below you can see a clipboard on an easel. This will display favorite layouts before they go into an album.
The ladder shelf near the door holds photo storage boxes and large chipboard pieces. Decorative items include old cameras I picked up at a flea market. A family beach picture I love is framed and displayed. This room is a combination of old pieces of furniture, Mike's office furniture, and scrap pieces. I really think it all works well together. Most of my ideas are from a book on scrapbook organization. It guides you through the process step by step. It helps you decide what you use the most and how to best lay everything out.
Now the question is- Will I organize the rest of the house? I sure hope so. The rest of the house is looking pretty neglected. I think Jamie's room is next. I have a panic attack every time I walk in. He is ready for a teenage room with a rock n roll theme. Sarah's room isn't much better. That really surprises me. For now I will just enjoy my room and catch up on actually scrapbooking.
