My goal with this room design was Easy ACCESS!!!We started with a room that is approximately 20'x20'. This is too much space to actually move around in efficiently. I made the space more "compact" by pushing the "L" shaped desk closer to the existing cabinets. If you're considering building a room, or remodeling a room, try to think about the efficiency of your movements. Keep in mind that the easier it is to access your tools and materials, the more likely you are to use them! To view the pictures in a LARGER format, just click on them.
The room is 20'x20'. We wanted to makeit smaller so we movedthe desk in closer tothe cupboards. We added a shelving unitat the end of the desk tohold the ScrapRack,Paper Storage Boxesand Chipboard.
Cupboard doors have togo, so I put on my toolbelt,grabbed the drill, anddown came the doors Removing cupboard doors helps yousee everything, get to everything, andyou won't be tempted "stuff" things in. Next we picked our paint colors.This was my favorite part. We ate afew tootsie rolls too (that's anotherfavorite!).
My mom designed the flowersand painted. I followed her designs andpainted. PJ ate snacks, supervised andthen napped.
We added some fun sheer curtains. I initially set up a single base unit... but then decided a double was going to be needed.
The messy process of putting thingsaway. Loaded ScrapRack and Paper Boxes Chipboard on the bottom shelf.
These IKEA hanging baskets addedspace under the cupboard. I added a couple more hangingbaskets under the desk. This rolling cart from Target willbe perfect for "must have" supplies.
Baskets from Michael's fit perfectly onthe shelves and will hold stamps. I hung my paper trimmer at theend of the desk. Rolling tote filled with all the things Iuse every time I scrap.
