Finally, and as promised....my scrapbook room!
So last summer, I painted our spare room downstairs a nice bright pink. It is a big room with only one small window, so there is not a lot of light. I chose pink to brighten it up and also to make it fun for my own room. Then, I painted my desk white and moved all my stuff downstairs. I bought the lamp on the desk at Walmart for like $10 and that was what became the basis of the colors for the room. Pink, black and white. Now, I know the baskets in the shelves are red, but I've had that shelf quite a long time and the baskets as well, so they are not color matched and really, it doesn't bother me, so it will stay. No sense spending money on something when I already have good ones. So, this is my space!! I use it way more than I did when it was upstairs. Partly because Kennedy is a light sleeper and my scrapbook room upstairs was right beside hers. Now, I can play in here when she naps, sleeps and when she watches a movie in the tv room downstairs. So its great. I even have a spot for her. THere is a table in the corner and she pulls a chair over and colors. Thats why there is a Winnie the Pooh case beside the lamp- for her crayons.
This is my Ikea Expedit Shelf that I LOVE! It has baskets for embellishments, albums, stamps, paints, chipboard, stickers and all that. On it, is my paper holders. 2 for patterned, 2 for card stock. Then also from Ikea, the wall shelf. It holds all my jars.
Its not the cleanest right now, especially that top right one! Its just sorta the "catch all".
then, there is my corkboard that I put pictures, quotes, scrapbook pages sketches and layouts I like to copy and any other inspiration. Under are the baggies. Now, let me just say, I was VERY against this when I saw it. I first saw it on here. Then I saw it somewhere else, maybe a magazine, I don't remember. But anyway, after a long while, I thought maybe it would be pretty handy. And, I can't say I'm totally used to it....I always go to my shelves/baskets first and forget about the bags, but I think it's growing on me.
My desk.
And, I only forgot to take a picture of my basic Canadian Tire drawers. It holds adhesives, mini albums not yet used, masks, and scrap paper.
So, that's my room! I really enjoy it and it works for me. Tell me what you think. Now, show me your space!!! And post a link to it!

cute scrapbook space!!
I'll be sad when I move my scrapbook stuff into the basement soon. Gotta make room for the new baby though!
I love the pink walls.
fun! and you don't want to see my space. I can barely walk in there right now! and it's not so much a scrap space, as a craft room. I really need to do some scrapping again though.
Gorgeous! Truly!
Alas.....I have no space here to call my own. Even my sewing table is in one of my kids rooms in the corner. (Hence the reason it's rarely used. I have to keep dragging it out to the kitchen, when I need it.)
But your space truly is inspirational. Someday when I have my own space, I will draw from some of these ideas.. Thanks for sharing!
ohhh Jess that is SOOOOOO fun! that lamp- divne ( and now I wish I bought one drats!). I would love to see it in person and man you have alot of scrapbooking stuff. too bad we don't live closer to scrap the night away!!
