The Red Haired Stamper

Take a Look!

It's just about done. I still have some stuff in the Dining room that needs attention but this is my newly organized space. It will never look this good again I am sure so enjoy the moment! LOL

No more faces in the boxes LOL

My computer desk and my creative desk

This is the entrance. You can't see it but my hubby made me the most beautiful stained Glass window for the door many years ago. It is a rose image..I'll see if I can get a better picture of it. It was made from one single piece of hand made red glass..so pretty.

Now I have to go..I have so much to do before I leave for my little Crop tomorrow morning!

Wonder if I just throw away everything that is still in the dining room would I miss anything? LOL

Thanks for dropping by! Sue

Coming up for air!

Phew! This reorganization is heavy duty! I am totally in the "mode".

So have changed my mind about a few things. My previous goal was to try to make the room open enough to hold my smaller classes in here...instead of the dining room. Talked it over with hubby today and we both agreed that the room is just not big enough! So...changed the ideas again and I am totally loving it now...still more to do but check this out so far:

Remember this was on the top of the base?

well this is where it is now.

This thing weighs a ton..I got it off the base and moved it to the right under the other window..and then...I mover the base down thew wall and I now have a separate Craft table. YAHOO. I took the middle shelves out and I can sit at the base now and still have loads of storage too. Going to buy a piece of heavy board to put on the top so there are no plank gaps in it. It is rock solid so great for crafting etc. :-) Now I have a BIG wall in front of me for whatever I want...any suggestions? I know my punches are going there...hmm..unless...have another idea now...you'll have to wait. The next post Will hopefully have the finished room..at least the last of the furniture in place where I want them.

It's not a pretty pretty room like I dream of but it is waaay better than it was as far as functionality. :-)

Thanks for dropping by..I am beat..off to bed! No time even to blog surf tonight :-)

OH! I almost forgot..look what other treasure I found today..my very first rubber stamp...LMAO...I used to have a collection of little mice and this was part of it...it all started so innocently! LOL have to keep this one!

Getting there!

Woo Hoo. I am slowing making progress!

I have taken all the stuff on my shelves down and put back only the things I am going to use..and have them neatly done for the most part. Here are some pictures of the main storage area in my room. OK..is it just me or do those wooden boxes look like faces?? Might have to change them around..that could freak me out LOL!

I have two sets of square hole shelving. I love being able to see everything but I also like it to look neat and it was getting a bit out of control on the lower shelves so I hauled it all out and rearranged it. The stamp sets and the samplers are as they were before. Here is what my floor looks like at the moment LOL..give a little take a little huh? I won't show you what the dining room looks  like :-(

The other side of the room I have a HUGE unit my hubby  built when I had my paper importing business...it is huge and I now have baskets in the paper slots. (I am addicted to these baskets from my local dollar store!! Love them!) The base takes up so much floor space so I am going to get rid of the base part I think...put the top part on the floor further along the wall. Move my computer desk into this space and use it as my creative spot and get a smaller desk for my computer..or just bite the bullet and get the freakin' laptop already!

I read a blog a few months ago and the person had a revolving inspiration station. So for example...before valentine's day she pulled out all her red and pink and heart/love stuff and then when she wanted to create she went there and got inspired to use all the Valentine stuff. I think I'd like to try that myself so cleared away this spot for that purpose. We'll see if it happens.

Thats about where I am...I would love to hear some ideas on what you demos out there all do with your 3-D things...I almost want to toss the whole box of them and start over. I am definitely going to purge them. I want a clean, clear, inspiring space now. Any and all suggestions are welcomeed and appreciated!!! I am sure there will be some blog candy when this is all finished too! So come back over the next few days!

My reward for all this work? I will get my hubby to put up the racks I bought for my punches...been holding off until I know the new layout of the space before drilling holes etc.

Thanks for stopping by!
