I recently moved and had to set up a scrap space again. So this time I made sure I had enough room to store all my stuff! :) I create this storage/desk from misc things from Ikea. The bottom two pieces came with doors, I just chose not to put them on. The desk is just a table top that I picked up in the "As-Is" section. The top side pieces have 6 pull out drawers each which I use to store embellishments, etc. The top board is just a piece of shelving I picked up at the hardware store. My husband bolted it all together for me.
2nd picture: I borrowed Renee's idea of the letter trays standing on end. I taped them up and they work great. I put the 12x12 pieces of cardboard (from my 2peas orders!) between each manufacturer to help divide them up.
3rd picture: I organize all my 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock in a mail organizer from an office supply store.
4th picture: A close up shot of the drawer units. I labeled each one so they would be easy to find and organize my little things in.
5th picture: Just keeping it real here. lol My letter stickers are such a mess, but it seems to work for me. I have them all in a magazine holder.
6th picture: I store things I use less often in the Iris carts. I have drawers for extra adhesives, acrylics, stickers, buttons, transparencies, card making/envelopes, misc embellishments, etc. Each one is labeled so I can find things quicker.
7th picture: I store some of my most used ribbon in these little jars, this way I can see them. :)
8th picture: This is actually one of the doors from the bottom units on my desk. I painted it and decorated it so I would have something to look at while sitting at my desk. I just cut up some old jeans for their pockets (which are a fun way to keep items you use a lot. I plan on putting my scissors and hermafix in them.) A little stamping and rubs on and it's ready to go.
