Wow! Your room looks AMAZING! I love the window seat, the big comfy chair, the candy jars filled with flowers, the colors, and all of the organization. Have fun!<img border='0' src='/graphics/mbicons/smilies_v2/smile.gif'>

What a beautiful room! Are all of your glass Apothocary jars with the flowers in them from Ikea? I'm storing a lot of my flowes in jars like that, too, but finding them hard to find (the jars, that is, lol). Enjoy <img border='0' src='/graphics/mbicons/smilies_v2/smile.gif'>

I have a few questions, as I am cleaning/re-organizing my room. I just got 30 of those acrylic paper trays. Do you just use yours for colored-cardstock? And I see the sun rays on the side of it. Does it fade being next to a window? I have a plastic 3-drawer cart. Any suggestions on what to put in there (not tall enough for paper)? I thought about putting embellishments in there but didn't know what to use for dividers as it isn't as tall as divider folders. This looks like a beatiful room that I would love to have for anything, not just scrapping.

<br>
The largest apothocary jars were purchased at TJ Max and Ross. I also bought others at WalMart, Tuesday Morning, Hobby Lobby, and local antique shops. A couple of them came from my kitchen cabinets!
<br>

<br>
Have fun searching for yours!

Frankly, I hope you are wrong about the sun fading my papers. The sun only shines at that angle a few minutes a day. I figure I'll use up the paper before it has a chance to fade anyway (at least I hope so!) Yes, I keep my colored card stock in my acrylic trays - one tower for 12 x 12 papers, the second tower for 8 1/2 X 11. The third tower holds paper pads of solid and specialty cardstock, vellum, sheets of chipboard, photo papers, ordinary printer paper and large paper pads of seasonal paper. My printed papers are in Cropper Hopper paper holders housed in the wall of storage cubes.
<br>

<br>
What to store in your 3-drawer unit? It's a little hard to say since I don't know your other storage options, but you could divide your papers and page kits into your top three favorite manufacturers and keep them in there. Or keep chipboard shapes in one, journaling papers and tablets in the second, and frames and borders in the third.

maryannscraps said...

Very Nice! I love the organization. I'm doing the same thing - I have an almost empty room that's designated as my scrap room. Trying to figure out how to put it all together from scratch, so here I look.
<br>

<br>
What is your paint color - I really like that. Most yellows look to bright to me, but that's not too bright and looks great with the white cabinets.

your room is one of my very favorites ive seen on here. you did a great job and i love that huge shelving unit that you have you MM paints in. that is so organized. HAve fun

Wow, Susan, your room rocks! <img border='0' src='/graphics/mbicons/smilies_v2/thumbup2.gif'> I can definitely tell you put a lot of love into making this your little piece of paradise. I love your shelves with family photos, decor and scrappy supplies mixed in. It's really beautifully arranged and well balanced. Will you come do my bookshelves like that?! <img border='0' src='/graphics/mbicons/smilies_v2/wink.gif'> Did you buy your desk all in one box or is it one of these things where you buy whichever section you need to make whatever shape you want (if that makes any sense)? Not sure if I can make a &quot;U&quot;, but I love the desk!
<br>

<br>
ENJOY!!!

I'm sorry, I don't remember the name of the paint. It was the paint we selected from the builder at the time our house was built.

<br>
The desk is the &quot;Galant&quot; from Ikea. Yes, it came in 3 boxes and was the type of system where you can mix and match your pieces and even select from different types of legs. In the particular arrangement I created the sections don't actually attach to each other (some combinations do). Instead, mine are just butted up to create the U shape. It works very well for me.

Hi, Penny! I thought I'd see you on here, I know how you love to organize stuff, too!
<br>

<br>
The chair is from Ikea, and yes, it's very comfortable. It's one of the few white ones I've ever seen.
<br>

<br>
I did in fact buy my paper trays from Recollections, as you know, quite a while ago. Althought I didn't have the empty room at the time, I just knew if I were patient I would someday. So, into the closet they went until the happy time when they could be part of a scrap room. I just couldn't pass them up at $25.00 each!!

OOOHHHH - is the chair the Allak and do they have it in store at Frisco??? It might just might be my birthday present!! At $80 how wonderful is that??? I have a chair I bought from work for $5 that is good but if I crop for long stretches I just get so stiff. A better chair is definitely on my wish list. And I've been holding out for a good WHITE one. <img border='0' src='/graphics/mbicons/smilies_v2/tongue.gif'>
<br>

<br>
I'm so proud for you and your room. My fave part actually is the blue chair and a half. I'm a big proponent of visitor space in scraprooms. <img border='0' src='/graphics/mbicons/smilies_v2/smile.gif'>

Hi, again. Yes, the white chair did come from the Ikea in Frisco. I think you have the correct name, I can't remember for sure. But you can't miss it. The only other white chair in their office area is a very uncomfortable wicker-like one. I thought the price was extremely reasonable.
<br>

<br>
I made a number of trips to Ikea in Frisco while I was buying stuff (and returning stuff)for my scrap room. In fact, I racked up $14.00 in highway tolls in the process!
