Project - My New Scrap Space by Sewgaby posted 01/26/06 at 04:48 PM Galleries: Scrapbooking <p>In Nov of 05 we moved into our current home and I was able to make a little scrap space in our spare room. I previously was scrapping in my dining room (I still have this space in my gallery)<p><p>Most of my stuff is hidden away in baskets or boxes. (I like it that way :)The difficult thing about this room is that there were so many doors in such a small space! So I had to figure out how to work with the wall space that was there.<p><p> The desk/shelf set is Elpha from The Container Store. The stamp storage behind the door is also an Elpha item that I can add more baskets to if I like. The computer desk is by a company called Dakota Furniture. The baskets above the desk, on the Elpha shelves are from Micheals and I made the liners. These hold most of my embellishments and then there is more stuff in the drawers. My cardstock and pattern paper all go in the IKEA shelf. I cut down the Cropper Hopper vertical files just a tad and they work out perfectly. <p>Its still a bit of a work in progress...but its working out well for me. Thanks for taking a peek......Irma |

Sewgaby said...
Thanks again everyone for your kind comments.
<br>
<br>
I got asked a few questions so I will update my comments above later and just answer them here too.
<br>
<br>
The <b>computer desk</b> is from a company called "Dakota Furniture" I ordered it from a local furniture store so I don't know where you could find it.
<br>
<br>
The <b>drawer and shelf system</b> is Elfa from The Container Store. They are having a 30% off sale right now and they are online. My drawers are the new Mesh style. The smallest one I have is to the left of my chair and its the "narrow" drawers.
<br>
<br>
The <b>bookcase</b> is IKEA (also online) and its the Expedit Bookcase (small version) in black. The baskets also from IKEA
<br>
<br>
The <b>paint</b> color in the house is Lowes American Traditional AJ213-Dusty Trail. Unfortunatly, I don't have the color of the actual scrap room as it was already painted when we moved in and I don't know what color it is.
<br>
<br>
As far as how I organize...well I try to buy only what I think I will use. And all the stuff is organized in the order of how I scrapbook. Ok...that probably dosen't make much sense, but it works for me. <img border='0' src='/images/icons/smile.gif'>

Irma,
<br>
<br>
One of my favorite past times is "pea-ing" and looking at all the great scraprooms in "pealand"! It makes for a nice, quiet Sunday afternoon. I have to admit, your room is one of my favorites. I love the clean look - and if I can trust the colors on my laptop - it looks like your room is mainly in black & white. Those colors lend genuine class to your room! I love it!
<br>
<br>
Thanks so much for sharing!
