After all your advice, my new scrapbook room!

[lovetoscrap]

I asked here for advice on turning my dining room into a scrapbook/craft room and here is what I came up with.

I have my side of the room and my kids have theirs. They have been threatened with their lives--okay a month of grounding and monetary fines-- if they touch anything on my side of the room. I have also given them plenty on their side so hopefully that will help.

I ended up painting the walls a very pale yellow, sort of just a light tint. The color doesn't show up well here. I bought lamps for extra lighting and have Reveal bulbs in them.

The view from the other end of the room facing the kitchen. This end is MY end of the room--no kids allowed!

The kids end of the room where they have their shelves with scrapbook things and their computer. They get to share the table on this side. Or a friend can use it!

When you're done at AWM's can you come here. I told DH I was taking over the dining room too.

Hi. What a great place. I moved my stuff up to a spare bedroom, but I some how still scrap on the dinning room table. It would HELP if my stuff was ORGANIZED. Where did you get your cup holder that clips onto your table?

 

[Lisa]

That's a CM cup holder. It also has a plastic bag to catch your scraps.

Your scrapping room looks great, nicely organized and clean. I should go clean mine and find the goodies I was supposed to hand out at last weekends crop.

You do realize that this now means you have to start scrapping!

It looks great!

very nice and organized. my corner of the world is in the basement or should i say dungeon. i really wished i had a spare room, but i don't. i'm trying to talk dh into an addition!!!!!!! it's not going over to well!!!
you guys would die if i ever posted a pic of it.

 

[lovetoscrap]

Thanks everyone! Keep in mind that it is ONLY clean and organized because those photos were taken right after I moved all my stuff in and put it where I wanted it. I haven't actually scrapped in there yet! I have a feeling it will look more like a tornado went through once that happens!


I used to have the basement dungeon also. Here I had some shelves and a table upstairs in our Bonus room, but I really wanted to be able to get to it if I am wheelchair bound for a few months which may happen. We bought this house with the intent of using the dining room for a school room because I homeschooled at the time. It was set up as that for 2 years but I stopped homeschooling and still have no dining room furnature so this was a good natural spot. I like that my kids can be in there with me, as long as they respect my space and my stuff.

And yes, Dyan--I have to start scrapping now!!! (when I find the time. . . )

Ladies, it pays to tidy up! Not only did I find the crop goodies, I found a bag of scrapper's vitamins, M & Ms!

LOL, not as good as sanity in a box though!!!

No kidding, but the sanity in a box is reserved for the heavy duty out of the norm stress. M & Ms can handle the day to day stress.

I have a double set of goodies for you and Mom.
You'll get it Sunday, woman!

That's so nice to have a place all your own! Remember to keep it tidy, LOL!
