So.. one of the first things I wanted to share with you was how I got my SU! stuff organised seems it can be overwhelming at times to keep the stuff looking neat..but also handy ;} So recently I made a trip to my favourite home store Ikea!!! I managed to pick up quite a lot of pretty things...my hubby was being very supportive that day. I think it could be because he wants our basement to look "normal" again. heheheh...
Anyways... here's my final product. I wish I'd taken a before picture....because you would see the transformation. Lovely isn't it. I love just sitting in my spot... tidying up my stuff and thinking to myself what else I can label.... hehehe... You maybe asking why the desk is facing against the back of our couch... well.. I'm sure most of you will sympathise I need to watch some tv... for inspiration. Anyway... everything in the photo is from Ikea.. all the storage boxes...and red crates. I did want some Ikea built in drawers but they only came in white which didn't go with my basement decor of red & dark brown.
Sorry for not posting the other night... I had a friend who needed some advice at 11.45pm so she came before my blog posting. I don't mind....seems I don't think anyone is reading my blogs yet ;} is anyone out there listening to me?????? Helllo!!!!
Cheers
Oh no! Now I have Craft Room Envy!! I love what you've done and the Ikea shelving unit and the RED boxes!! Now I am gonna have to chuck my dinning room hutch and replace it with cubes!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Job of organizing - bookmarking blog now!
Hugs,

I love your colour combination and craft area Sue! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBut I have to ask - does it always look this neat?
Wow.. Thanks ladies...I'm sad to say that most of the time my area does look this neat seems it's our family room. I suppose that's what happens when you live in a small townhome. But my desk isn't normally clean seems I always have something on the go!...my hubby often jokes that I love to organise more than craft.... boy!! he doesn't know the half of it ;}
ReplyDeleteThanks again Marie for your blogs posts.. I love to read them!! Oh! and I also brought one of those MM tool carousals now...LOVE IT!
I have a white Expedit and love it. Your brown & red combo is so sophisticated & rich looking. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and it's so clean! Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the brown and red. I love it even more because it's not the "traditional" storage color [white] you see in a craft room. Fab job!
ReplyDeleteI love your studio. Love the Ikea stuf. Great to see that you used those colors.

Looks awesome. I love you you put your paper in that red box. Great idea
ReplyDeleteI would love to know what sleeves you used in the red box to sort the papers
ReplyDeleteI second what Christie - Childhood 101 asked. I'd add, does it fit 12x12 papers????
ReplyDeleteWonderful space!
