It’s been ages since I’ve posted and shared pictures of my studio. This room is my home office and also my craft room. It’s basically my happy place.
I recently added some paper storage to my space. I ordered these 8.5” x 11” storage units from Stamp n Storage. I love how they instantly organized my space. I created a REEL about this process and you can see it on my instagram @i.heart.stamps - I also snapped a few quick photos of the space and send them into Stamp n Storage to be entered into their Studio Showcase.
Guess what?!! I was selected as the September 2021 Stamp - n - Storage Studio Showcase winner. Yippee. I am super excited. You can read my interview and the article on the Stamp - n - Storage blog.
I figured it would be cool if I shared a few additional photos of my studio. My work space is always evolving as I tweak, purge and add to my craft stash. You can also see snippets of this room and previous rooms on instagram using the hashtag #charletscraftroom
During the day this studio serves as my office. I work at home as a freelance graphic designer. My desk is large enough that I have a clear space to use my laptop computer as well as areas that can hold the current craft project.
This room also has a TV, sewing machine, Brother Cut and Scan and other random tools. Those items are shown in various photos below.
My studio has four few built-in book cases (one in each corner of the room). I added some storage units from Ikea. These drawers above are from IKEA - Alex Drawers . The drawers hold my ribbon and embellishments. The bottom three drawers are deeper and are perfect for SU ribbon spools. I have the ribbon lined up and I can easily pull one out when I want to use it.
I like keeping all the embellishments in the SU packaging / old plastic containers. I store these on their sides. You can see inside these containers easy enough. These fit in the top drawers perfectly. I keep these containers and put other embellishments in them when they are empty.
A couple folks have asked about the rug. I purchased this rug from Boutique Rugs. I love it and it’s held up nicely. It’s called the Horsley. Here is the link.
The photo above shows the fireplace that is in the room. So nice when it’s freezing in winter. On the right side of the photos is an antique postage organizer that I found at a local flea market. I use it to store my finished cards (organized by theme / occasion).
Here are a couple of photos of the built-in bookcases. I painted these white and use them to store and showcase all sort of mini collections. Some of the things I collect are: background stamps, flower frogs, antique ribbon spools, and antique office tools.
Thanks for taking a minute to enjoy this space with me. I appreciate all the DM and comments, it’s so wonderful when others share the same passion. Have a great day! Charlet
