Is this better?

OK--you saw my scraproom photos on that embarrassing thread. After spending most of the day with my awesome niece Kristen (she's a slavedriver :winkb:) helping me, my room looks 100% better. It's not 100% finished, but it feels so clean that I'm actually afraid to put the box of stuff in my dining room that I got from ACOT in there!

Here are the finished photos:
Image
My desk never gets used for scrapping because I'm claustrophobic and like to scrap in the dining area so I can watch TV with my hubby, so I've got my completed cards in the baskets on it, my ink pads are in the bucket along with my mini alpha stamps, and the clip it up holds thickers and a few journaling spots. Don't pay attention to the pile of baby toys to the left, that is my next job to tackle~
ImageAll of my Magistical Memories chipboard and glittered chipboard are housed in the bottom drawers of this standing unit. Buttons, flowers, stickles, and adhesives are above those. The closet still needs a little work. My goal is to find a shelving unit for the completed albums for my loft area, but until that happens, these albums stay here. Idea books are on the second shelf below my little used huge foam stamp collection.
ImageThis is my paper storage...the vertical bags and files are filled with different manufacturers. The tubs on the left include border punches, rubons and word art, bling, journaling spots, and ribbon storage. The ribbon storage was my last project of the day so I haven't had a chance to take a photo of that project completed.

It's still a work in progress, but I think I could actually put my hand on any item that I'm thinking I need at the moment, and I sure couldn't have said that yesterday! Thanks Kristen!

Way to go Lala! Did you find anything that you've wanted to use on a LO forgot what happened to it? Did this help inspire you to create? :)

Looks nice! That is one heck of a Glimmer Mist collection! Is there any color you don't own? ;)

LOL, that's exactly what I was thinking. I missed your earlier thread, but did see the photos in the gallery and seeing as I like you I thought it better not to comment :winkb:, but I think it's safe now. I bet you have found some 'new' stash to play with. It looks awesome now, I love love love your desk, it's beautiful. I think you should get Kristen to move in with you ...... just incase you get outta control again :-D

sorta new to the boards here...is their a place to view just "scrapbook rooms" I like looking at others to get ideas from. !
i am lucky enough to have a pretty good chuck of a room that i share with exercise equipment ( that doesnt get used ) and the hubbys guitar collection/ other than that its all scrapbook..and i am always re-organizing / trying to use the space better.



Nice Job... clean organized does inspire you to work..but i agree it doesnt stay long i am a BIG MESSY scrapbooker !

The #1 question is how long will it stay like that?

Love what you have done with your room! My table is so cluttered right now that I have a 12x12 space to work on and that is it.

Waiting for a rainy day to clean it!

Look great Laura!

I need to clean mine again!
My grandchildren have been using it for the last month!
They love crafts and getting into all my stuff.
