The Craft Room: 3 Months Later

Several of you have asked me how the craft room looks now that I have been using it daily.  Check HERE to see the original post about my new room.

I considered cleaning up a little before I took these pictures, but I realized that wouldn’t be very fun.  So, here is a glimpse at my room today:

When you enter, you can see my “Cricut Station”, overflowing with papers, paraphernalia, and random accessories.  The last picture even shows my hair straightener…. Keep in mind that I have VERY straight hair and don’t use it for the intended purpose.  I use it to quickly “iron” hems!
However, I am SUPER excited about the recent paper rack that I acquired off Craigslist!  You can probably tell that I have a LOT of paper…. all of the drawers are stuffed with paper as well.

View of my once clean sewing table.   I don’t know what happened.  In fact, this is after a quick cleanup the other day.  It is amazing that I can even get anything accomplished in this area.

Here is my new BabyLock Serger.  Love this thing!
The storage closet.  Um, I don’t know what to say about it.  I really don’t.  It has doors, so I will be closing them now….
Fabric.  Lots and LOTS of fabric.  I will be reorganizing this mess later.

Am I embarrassed by the mess?  Sort of.  Am I going to clean it up this week?  Probably not.

    Here’s a TUT to make your own paper racks! My mom used it for her scrapbooking room, and its held up for a good 4-5 years now. Its seriously sooo much cheaper than buying them new. And I bet they would actually work well for fabric too! Hmmm… now the wheels are turning in MY head. :/

    That is a great tutorial, Amy! It looks so easy and cheap, too! Luckily, I scored my paper rack for $20 on Craigslist, but they are so expensive when you purchase them new! I might have to try that wire paper rack for my fabrics. 🙂
