Organizational {Friday} Finally My Room Reveal!

Well, it has been a few months in coming but I have finallly gotten my new room done. If you missed my "moving post," feel free to look here. So today, I am sharing photos--lots of them! I don't have a wide-angle lens so it has been a bit hard to get photos but hopefully you will enjoy it. My room basically has three sections--the craft area, the sewing area, and my office area. As you read through, I have included links to older posts where I share specifics about a particular storage item. Click on the link to look at that piece in greater detail. Now, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, and let's get started!

The Craft Area
This is part of my craft area. The first photo shows my desk by Scrap 'n Cube, my paper rack, and my Stampin' Things unit with my inks, Stickles, and ink refill bottles. It also shows my Univenture binders and Sizzix boxes where I store my unmounted stamps and my Memory Box stamps. These pieces below are next to my Stampin' Things unit. You can probably see by comparing the photo above with this one where these pieces are in relation to the other furniture. In the closed baskets I store my old foam stamps, more fabric, and other things that I don't need to acccess very often. The basket on top is my "in basket." I throw things in there that come in the mail or that belong in my office but I don't have time to put away at the moment. It's a great and handy basket!
This wonderful piece of furniture replaces my toy bin that I had in my old space. I found this at Hobby Lobby, and I absolutely love it! It sits at the end of my office desk facing the window. I keep my Big Shot on top, and it is SO easy to do my die cutting here!
The four smaller drawers contain my 6x6 paper pads and alterable items. These drawers are the perfect size for my paper pads. Should I share that three of the four drawers contain paper? Eeeek! :)
Then one of larger drawers contains chipboard alphabets and other smaller embellishments. The other large drawer contains my larger tools--Quickutz Squeeze, Bind-it-All, crimper, etc.
And here you can see a part of my new Basic Grey Blush curtains. It was VERY hard to take photos of my window because of the glare. You will see a dreadful picture below when you see my office space! My window measures 72" across and 85" high so I get very nice light in my room.And next, my magazine basket! This basket matches the one that sits on top of my closed baskets with the fabric and foam stamps. It is larger but the same style. I keep my crafty magazines in here. Yes, you can probably see I have many that haven't been looked at yet. I am just swamped all of the time, and maybe someday I will get through them all.
I do throw my magazines out when I am done. I used to tear out the ideas I loved, and I kept them in a binder but I found I wasn't going back to reference those ideas. There are always new and fun ideas on the web and in newer magazines so I gave up on the reference binder.

The Sewing Area
Basically in this part of my room I have a dresser that I got years ago from Bombay Co. Goodness, I wish they were still in business. I love their furniture. Anyway, I have the dresser and my sewing cabinet. The dresser contains photos and fabric! And believe me it is full! Then as you can see, I have my Clip-it Up on my sewing cabinet. I was going to keep my cabinet closed because it looks so nice closed; however, then I don't sew on my creations as much. I love having my machine out so I can use it quickly anytime I want now. Love that!

On the wall I have 5 sewing patterns from 1949. I have Basic Grey Blush fabric behind each pattern, and this is the fabric that my curtains are made out of too! Rebekah Williams shared the sewing pattern idea on her blog a year or so ago, and I loved it so I knew I wanted to do that in my room. I also have a cross stitch pattern I completed in 1991. Who would have known when I stitched it that it would go so perfectly in my room! Yeah!I also keep some of my idea books and sewing books on top of the dresser. I have some other idea books in other parts of the house. They just wouldn't all fit in my room but I can't bear to part with them! The Office
This dreadful picture shows "the office side" of my room. Sorry for the glare from the window. I had a terrible time with this photo thus this is the only photo of this part of the room. Anyway, you can see the Hobby Lobby drawer unit at the end of my desk by the window. Believe it or not, there is room for me to stand over there. :)
My office desk faces the craft area. I love looking at all of the colors from my papers, Copics, inks, etc., as I sit at my desk. So joyful to look at!

Well, I hope you have enjoyed my little tour. If you have specific questions about anything, feel free to ask in the comment section. If there are a lot of questions, I will do another post; otherwise, I will just answer individually back in the comment section. :) And remember to see all of my organizational posts, please see the link list here.

Have a blessed weekend everyone!
