Project - My New Scrap Room... by Daja posted 05/17/06 at 12:44 AM Galleries: Scrapbooking well here it is finally! DH designed the room in autocad and after getting custom counter and cabinet quotes we decided to go with the Lowe's cabinets and he built the countertops himself. We bought the laminate from Wilson Art and he fabricated the counter tops from plywood. He also built the shelving unit and sized it to fit my 12x12 cropper hopper storage as well as albums.. He put crown molding in the room and on top of the cabinets. He built my desk space extra deep and installed a wireless keyboard and mouse so I can move them when I crop. My DH is the greatest! Pic 1,2,3 are shots of the room from the closet. Pic 4,5,6 are photos I have taken and then framed. Pic 7 is the custom printer and scanner pull out drawer DH built..(this saves a ton of counter space) Pics 8-13 are all my embellies stored in the cropper hopper containers (thanks Amy and Kelly for the ribbon storage idea)(I think I spent around $320.00 in cropper hopper)Pics 14-19 are my tools, adheasives, paint, sizzix and ink/stamps... TFL... I am hoping to show DH some praise so he knows how great he is! |

Wow, your room is gorgeous... the colors are so soothing... my favorite part has to be the pull out trays for the printer and scanner... I'm so checking if they have something similar here in The Netherlands, because that's an awesome idea!

Thank you for sharing this with us... I wish you lots of enjoyment in your wonderful room!

You have a beautiful room and a wonderful husband. I have been wanting the pull out trays but could not justify spending $60.00 each. I have the same cabinets from Lowes. Mine are Natural. I purchased them for $50.00 each because they had a scratch on one side that is not visible. Can you ask your husband to provide details on how he made the pull out trays? Also, I would love more details on how he made the countertop.

Daja said...
I am putting this here just incase...
<br>
Updated to answer questions..
<br>
Where did you get your frames:
<br>
I got the 12x12 frames at Joann’s Etc on sale for $12.99 (the print is 8x8 mounted on card stock...
<br>
I got the 9x9 frames at Ikea (the print is 5x5)
<br>
<br>
Cabinets:
<br>
I believe are Kitchen Craft. They are sold in stock at Lowes
<br>
<br>
Cabinet Hardware:
<br>
Home Depot
<br>
<br>
Paint:
<br>
The paint is called Brisk Olive made by American Traditions (Lowes)
<br>
<br>
Counter Top:
<br>
We bought the laminate at Wilson Art and my DH built them. He used plywood, glue and a laminate router and then trimmed them. This was a huge debate because he did not want to paint the trim.. I wanted white so he gave in... I do have to be careful with inks and paints as to not stain the trim.
<br>
<br>
Sliding Printer and Scanner Drawers:
<br>
At Home Depot the sell a heavy duty drawer slide mechanism and he fabricated the shelves the same way he did the counter tops... He had to take the built in shelf that comes with the cabinet out.
<br>
<br>
What is the size of your room? Is it used for anything else (like a
<br>
guest bedroom etc...):
<br>
The room is 10x10 and is all mine... My Dad now sleeps in our living room on his Aerobed when he visits! (LOL)
<br>
<br>
Cropper Hopper:
<br>
<br>
Cropper Hopper Photo Negative Protector 4x6
<br>
I have photos, Chipboard Letters, Large flowers, page pebbles, large wood letters, Etc.
<br>
<br>
Cropper Hopper Boxes Large Square
<br>
I have my smaller alphabets organized by letter (love this and it works), larger embellies like MM metal tags, buttons by color, brads, bottle caps, brad flowers, acrylic frames etc.
<br>
<br>
Cropper Hopper Embellishment Box Rectangle
<br>
I have even smaller embellies organized by color.. Spiral Clips, book plates, small conchos, jump rings, photo corners, ribbon slides, metal words etc.
<br>
<br>
Cropper Hopper Mini boxes
<br>
Ribbon (credit to Amy and Kelly)
<br>
<br>
Where did you get the magazine holders and black boxes?
<br>
Ikea
<br>
<br>
How did you label the boxes?
<br>
Dymo label maker and a ton of tape!
<br>
<br>
I think that answers all the questions I have received! I have to say that DH was thrilled to see all the praise! Thanks so much! Peamail me if I didn't answer your question...

Holy cow! This is so beautiful and organized. I have to say, I should be the messy pea, because when I scrap it looks like a tornado has come through. I would have those little boxes in heaps on the floor with the contents in my lap, my hair, and all over the floor. I envy those who can keep it contained! Very nice!
