The great Craft Corner transplant of 2011 is
COMPLETE! It took a few weeks to get everything purged, organized, and then moved from the guest/craft room to a small little corner of my bedroom, but now I can breathe a huge sigh of relief because it's d-o-n-e. Well, as done as it's going to be for awhile. I have to move on to other things!
Without further ado, here's the big reveal...
BEFORE
 |
| My workstation. Not much space to work, huh? No wonder I'm behind on all the projects I want to do! |
 |
| The random bookshelf (aka the clutter magnet) |
 |
| In theory these cubes are great storage. In practice, I let them get out of control. |
AFTER
 |
| Workstation! The table is just an Ikea table that I got awhile back for the workspace it provided at a cost I could afford. I'm still pleased with how it's holding up! I would still like to make a fabric skirt to velcro around the front of the table so I can hide the unsightly containers, but it's gonna have to do for now. |
 |
| I love the accessibility of the drawers! And have I ever mentioned how much I love my label maker?!? I have drawers for jewelry supplies, embellishments, ink, mounting paper/envelopes, and scrap paper. |
 |
| I'm using the bigger drawers for stamping and crochet supplies. |
 |
| I have my idea books in a magazine holder, pictures to be scrapbooked in a photo organizer, and pens, adhesive, and glue in the drawers. I have the manuals for my Cricut and sewing machine in the plastic envelope that's standing up next to my paper cutter. |
 |
| I'm planning on replacing the ugly purple cup, but it's serving its purpose for the time being. |
 |
| For the sake of transparency, I wanted to include the picture of the seemingly cluttered underside of the table, but like I mentioned, I'm planning on covering it up in the near future. Anyway, I have my trash can, scrapbook paper, fabric/patters, ribbon, and pillow stuffing (haha!) hiding underneath the table. At least it's labeled, right? |
 |
| And the cluttered bookshelf from the "before" picture? It has been repurposed as Avery's toy/book storage in our study (which is connected to our living room, where she does most of her playing). |
Aaah, I feel like I can breathe again when I want to work on a craft project. The former guest/craft room isn't completely emptied out yet, but we're much closer to being able to paint it and move baby furniture in. Yay!
