The book case that is in the closet used to sit in front of the window, before. I had a dresser in the closet and stored things in the drawers and had a bank of Iris carts on either side of the dresser. It was just way too crowded. And, I had those Iris carts FILLED....but didn't use most of the stuff in them.
The Iris cart to the right, may or may not stay depending on whether or not I actually USE the items stored inside.
The little hanging rack with jars inside are used for embellishments. I am not sure what I am going to do with the hanging buckets...but they are PURPLE...what's not to like :-)
The clock, I made myself when I was with another stamping company. I need to update it using current stamps.
I really don't like having my printer on my office desk but there was no where else to put it as the roll around cart that USED to hold it wouldn't fit in that space anymore.
Next to that, to the left, is a cute little divided tray that I sat on end...to house my bottles of Stampin Up Dazzling Details.
I have two turn around holders that hold my most used stamping essentials like scissors, cutting tools etc.
To the far right against the wall is a little spice holder unit that I have all my glues, spritzers and stamp pad misters etc.
Above the desk on the lower vinyl shelves are three drawer organizers that house things that I use most often on my cards, including adhesives, different embellishments, acrylic mounts and other things.
On the top shelf are items I use but maybe not quite as often.
You see the little roll around file cart on the left under the table? That's to store the In Color card stock. You will see why, soon.
I added labels to each cubby....with the name of my SU 8 1/2 x 11 card stock. Like I mentioned before, there wasn't room for the IN colors in this unit so I had to have them in the roll around file cart.
The calendar on the top of the unit was one that was made for me a couple of years ago by a friend. I still keep it even though it's out of date and I haven't had time to 'update it'.
The one to the left, we paid $10 for from a customer that we were moving from one state to another. She just didn't want it....and I was so happy to take it off her hands. That was when we were owner operators of our own semi and were leasing to North American Van Lines.
Anyway, that was in the late 80's and it's been in several homes since then and always came in extremely handy, usually for storing cleaning products in the garage or whatever. I finally got to use in my stamp room when we moved here 7 years ago. I keep extra supplies here as it's usually hidden by the door when it's open.
The wooden box to the far right was acquired at a garage sale, I am sure. I used to lay it on it's side and it would hold different things but there was no where to lay it, so I just stood it on end and it houses my SU catalogs and spiral notebooks etc.
Well, that's the tour of my newly redone stamp room!! I am going to be so excited when I have finished some other projects and can actually sit down and STAMP again!!!
Right now, I am just enjoying the sky blue look of my room....and it makes me so happy to be in here! I am still contemplating whether or not to add 'clouds' to the ceiling!!
Have a fantastic weekend!!!
Hugs,
Char
