Technically, this is not my work desk.. you can just see part of that in the top right. This foreground shot is of my new cutting station. The two filing cabinets in the front will serve as the base for my ScrapRack unit. Then the rest of the length.. formed by four 3-shelf book cases will be used as a cutting station for my Vagabond and Cricut tools. I think the tool caddy Bob made me several years ago is in it's forever home. Well, forever as soon as Bob gets the shelf board cut that will cover this entire top for an even playing surface. We just ran out of time before he had to head back out onto the boat for the next 21 days. So yes, for the next 21 days I am in limbo again.
A couple of weeks ago I showed the carpet boxes I was cutting apart. What I didn't show was the ginormous Ziplock bag - XXL (2'W x 2.5'L or 60CM x 82CM) that was BULGING with misc. chip board, cardboard, foamboard, matboard. I went through the entire contents and cut things down that I wanted to keep and used most of the cardboard as garden mulch.
I kept the mat board pieces, larger foam core, larger chip board and fit the 'keepers' into this:
Initially, this cabinet held all of my StampinUp 12x12 cardstock. I've since moved it to 'file' storage on the top and repurposed these drawers to hold the condensed cardboard bag. If I can not fit something into a drawer I either have to swap with something already in there or pitch. But once I'm able to start constructing mixed media pieces, I don't see that as a delimma. :-)
So why am I showing you a sneak peek? Because this is what is on my desk and every week near 100 bloggers join in the snoop of each others workspaces courtesy of Miss Julia at StampingGround. You are welcome to join us! I'm sure what you have on your desk is way more exciting than mine!
ohhhh. I am envious. I am in desperate need of a craft room but won't be seeing one in this lifetime. Glad you could get one.
ReplyDeleteHi, Kelly, congrats on the enhancements to your crafting space! It does seem to be so helpful when you can have tools out and ready to use. I think I'd use my Cuttlebug more often if I didn't have to clear a space, get it out, pull out the accessories, etc. But then I'd have to get rid of a bookcase and I'm not ready to do that either, ha, ha. Happy crafting and happy WOYWW from Laura #48
ReplyDeleteOH, Kelly, it is wonderful! Love it, love it! It is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that you are finally getting moved in! #30
That looks so organised and tidy! I have a small cutting station but no where near as tidy! Have a good week. Soojay 22
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, this all looks very tidy and so organised. I think you need me to come round and help you untidy it Lol! Hope you have a great woyww and happy crafting, Angela x 24
ReplyDeleteKudos on making the changes you wanted : ). The space looks lovely! #51
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, your workspace looks great! I have some of those wood blocks that hold all the scissors/pens/ pointy things etc., but mine are natural wood, rather than white. I bought an IKEA 4x2 Expedit with desk attachment that I have as a cutting station for my BSPro/bug/guillotine. It's great to be able to have it all out and to hand.Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #14 xx
ReplyDeleteLooks great so far! I like the idea of a cutting station.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's going to be a state of the art craft room. Blessings!
