OK…March 29th will mark a YEAR in our new home… wow, where has the year gone? I ask that because I still haven’t finished my Craft Haven…but I know it will get done…I have made progress. My previous post (around July 07) showed you the one side of the room we installed cabinets in… (photos were deleted from that post). Anyway…I have since added a LOT more. Mostly shuffled stuff around, trying to find what works for me. I have two 6′ folding tables that I cannot bear to part with, so one is serving as my island work space and the other is serving as paper storage/workspace until we can afford to do Phase II of the room. You’ll see in the photos I have below. You’ll also see, I’ve introduced some upper shelves. I went with wire shelves because I felt it wouldn’t make the room feel so cluttered. We were going to do cabinets and shelves in a configuration that would allow me to put things up but I felt that wire shelves were cheaper and I like the ability to move them if I don’t like it. I doubt these will be moved, as there are (3) eight foot long wire shelves. They hold all of my Xyron tools, my sizzlit die cases, my glue guns, Cricut cartridges, ribbon boxes, albums and so much more. Things I am sure will stay where they are. The drawers, all 21 of them, are FULL to the top of embellishments and tools.
My favorite feature in the room, besides all the cool stuff, is my magazine area. I cannot believe that $10 Goodwill find turned out so good…. I painted them white and anchored them to the wall. They are actually about 6′ tall metal magazine racks found in offices…well, now in my craft haven!!!
Well, enjoy the photos..and if I have any readers…love to hear what you think:
