Marsha’s Room

Marsha and her husband Jeff moved into a brand new home. So happy for these two! The house is beautiful and we couldn’t wait to organize her craft room. Let’s get started …

Beautiful new home!

Craft Room

If you know Marsha, you know her favorite color is purple! The room looks so fun to craft in with this fun pop of color. She placed the desk along the side wall. The desk table top is held up on Alex drawers, which hold all her often used supplies, such as tape runner and inks. Across from the desk are Ikea bookcases, on their side. This makes for a handy surface to place often used tools such as heavy 12×12 paper and cutting tools.

Before
Kitty cats were helping us unpack! Marsha setup the desk drawers to contain often used tools (glues, inks, etc).
After
These shelves hold a ton. Currently we have scrapbooks and 12×12 paper stored on this side of the room. As she uses the room, these shelves may change over time. Makes for an easy to access Scrapbook Zone.

Stamps

Marsha sells Stampin’ Up. Here’s a link to her website. Feel free to order from her if you do not have a local consultant. Card Making is so fun if you have find your supplies quickly. She decided to store her stamp sets, dies, and inks inside this tall bookshelf.

Before
This shorter wall will hold stamps and inks on this Ikea bookcase. It’s nice because it has doors to keep everything dust free.
After
So this area became the Card Making Zone. 6×6 Paper, Stamps, Dies and Ink are ready and close to grab!

Closet

How wonderful is this big bedroom closet. It has an overhead light too, very handy. Marsha was able to fit 2 Kallax units on their side in the closet. So much can be stored on these shelves. We decided to put lesser used items in here. And since paper is very heavy, we placed both 8.5×11″ paper and 12×12 paper packs on the bottom shelves.

Before
Kallax shelving in the closet is ready to store a ton of products!
After
For now we have paper and bling embellishments inside the closet. Heavier items on the bottom shelf.
