[tubachick]

Hello everyone!! :wave:

We took a storage room in the basement and turned it into my scrapbook/craft room. :love:

This is what the room looked like when we moved in back in November. (we gutted this right away!!!)

DH put up some more lights and outlets for me

Up went the insullation and peg board walls. (this was the first time I used a jig saw)

Thanks for letting me share my hard work with everyone. I have Tink curtins, and my mickey attena toppers on display.

I enjoyed doing this, its the first time DH let me use his tools in the house!!!

(I think its just his way of getting the scrapbook stuff out of the diningroom!)


Thanks for letting me share!!! :teeth:

I was also going to post over on two peas, but I can't figure out how to post pictures there! :confused3 so enjoy just the same!

WOW!! VERY NICE.

I LOVE IT!

You really did a great job and made it very special because you did it yourself.

Now you need to Scrap that. :thumbsup2

:thumbsup2 Very nice. I was days away from getting my scraproom when I discovered I was going to be having my 2 child. So goodbye scraproom hello nursery. Your room looks great. Enjoy it.

Your room looks awesome!!! DH and I moved my stuff down stairs this weekend out of our dining room.. now I have my own little area near the laundry room (which is where I spend most of my time anyway)...

[mickeyfan2]

Very nice.

Can I ask why the pegboard walls?

[tubachick]

Very nice.

Can I ask why the pegboard walls?


the first reason is that it was inexpensive (and easy to replace if it should get damaged) and I was on a real tight budget. The second reason is for stroage and hanging supplies (which of course at the time I couldn't decide which wall to put the peg board -- so all of them got it) The other reason is since it is the basement, its a little humid and sometimes damp so its breath-able (is that a word) and the air can circulate.



Thanks everyone for your nice comments.

I LOVE the peg board walls! Great idea!

I always tell DH that his worst nightmare is when I learn to use his power tools....I won't need him anymore :lmao:

Your room looks FANTASTIC... :thumbsup2

Thank you for the explanation. When I saw the earlier pictures I figured you were going to hang from it, but then you put in the bookshelves, so I just wondered why at that point.

Unbelievable! I'm going to print your pics and use them to motivate me to clean my basement. Not for a scrapbooking area, just to have a space like that as my own!!!!

Great job!!

[DiznEeyore]

What a beautiful transformation!! I hope you have many happy hours creating in your space! :)

[tmt martins]

Great use of space and materials.

thanks

thanks

The stencil looks familar as well and the green curtian is the same we just added not to long ago.

I just bought DD the Mickey scrapbook rolling carrier I hope thats all the space she needs for now .That and the 3 tubs of paper and stuff.

I'm under 40 days she can't wait to get to the Art Of Disney as soon as we hit SSR and walk over.

[Downrivermama]

Very nice! Thanks for the insp-ear-ation! Good ideas.

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Bumping up to make sure everyone has a chance to see! :sunny:

[SplshMtn99]

GREAT idea using pegboard --- for all the reasons given. I move stuff around so often that I should have pegboard on all my walls. :teeth:

Love the space & colors. Have fun!

[Quinn222]

That is so fantastic! We don't have basements in FL so no chance of anything like that for me :(

[tubachick]

:thumbsup2 thanks for all the nice comments. I am enjoying the room so much.

[Binkrin]

That room is great! :thumbsup2
I am so jealous!

[chrissy1965]

I am so jealous!

Me too!

[MinnieGal]

Wow you did a great job! What a nice space you have to do your scrapping in now! :thumbsup2

[lindakmonty]

great idea and great job!

[eeyoresmountainpals]

I see by the date of the original post that it's been about 6 or 7 weeks since you posted the pics! How are you enjoying your new space??

(P.S. - I'm still inspired...but still haven't even started on my basement yet! :lmao: )

I actually have a mess now (which is good cuz it means I am actually working on things!!!) I have pumped out a dozen birthday cards for various family members and a handful of pages!! I also have had a friend over and we scrapped together!!

thanks for asking. :thumbsup2
