Here we are just over a month in the new home and the scrap space is finally taking shape. We have half of the room done. We are working on the design for the remaining half of the room. We have a basic design for it; but since it will become the “sit down and work” area; I want to insure we get it done right.
The room is about 13.5″L x 12″W. The left side of the room is dedicated to die cutting. The cabinets along the length of the room cover about 10′2″. On each side of the window, the work surface is 55″. Beneath the window will be a bench seat with storage below, then 55″ of counter.
The counters are all about 36″ tall [a.k.a. kitchen cabinet height]. The series of base cabinets are made up of 4 drawer sections and 1 door with drawer section. To be more precise…from the inside corner of the room, there are two units with 4 drawers each. Then a unit with a narrow door for a trash can and a drawer above. Then two more units with 4 drawers each. Then in the outside corner, there’s a lazy susan followed by another 4 drawer unit.
Here, my husband is working on the counter top in corner.
JAN 2008 —- SEE MY JAN 13th POST FOR PICS
As I said, this section of the room is the DIE CUT center, made up of a Cricut, Xyron Personal Cutter, Sizzix Original die machine, Sizzix die towers (12 total – thanks to my mom for stocking those towers!!!), Cuttlebug, SideKick, (2) QuiKutz cutters, Zaz and a ZipEMate. The drawers hide the respective cutter tools and accessories as well as a few embelishements (which will probably be moved).
Once I publish this blog, I will work on hanging up the ribbon rack, get my papers organized and OUT of cardboard boxes! Hoping that when it’s all together, the closet will house my totes (I have plenty of them!!) as well as a few extra crafty items that I don’t use regularly.
Until more is done…… happy crafting!!
