Nancy's Creative Space

Hi Peas, Nancy here today with a little peek into one of my favorite rooms. Definitely one that I spend a lot of time in - my scrap room. The space is tiny at just 10x11, so I really have to make the most of every foot.

Right now it's painted a serene aqua and accented with mostly brown-black furniture. I love this large Expedit desk from IKEA. It's wide enough that I can work and my son can sit on the other side and do his homework.

In the Expedit are plastic trays by Display Dynamics that I've had for years. These hold my patterned paper by current collections. When I first get a collection, I will keep the embellishments together with the patterned paper. Once I've used the collection, I move the embellishments into the dark brown fabric bins. All of my storage is open because I tend to forget what I have if I don't constantly "see" it. Cardstock is stored in galvanized bins that I found at Home Depot.

 

I have two white Making Memories wall shelves that hold older embellishments, paints and tags. The long, narrow desk underneath stores my sewing machine, Silhouette and printer.

This bookcase holds odds and ends, alphabets, alterable items and ribbon. When I work I face the door and this sign. It reminds me - KEEP CALM - and sometimes I really need that!

This space is definitely a constant work in progress. I was just thinking that I might like to have some closed storage. I feel a remodel coming on this Spring!
