Lois Folla's Stampin' Studio Before & After

Hello Friends!

I don't know about you all, but this is what I've been waiting for.... the unveiling of my new Stampin' Studio Office Desk Space, my 8.5 x 11 & 12 x 12 Card stock Storage and my New Wall! of Punches!

D-r-u-m R-o-l-l Please..............

The before and after photos:)

It was very nice and neat... and I was very lucky to have this....  "before"

- 8.5 x 11 card stock filed in the paper storage unit. My scanner to the left of my computer/tv.  My wall of punches on the top right of this photo... 

But, I did not have much work space, which is what I really needed... So my darling husband, put on hold all of his projects such as finishing our backyard deck, the white fencing around our backyard, and our basement remodel so he could finish up my office.  He already had put in cabinets for me and did an outstanding job!  Please go to my Album on my side bar to see my whole office...

Yes, I do know I am very blessed to have such a wonderful husband! I am thankful every day!

 

I had a vision, and now it''s reality!!!  The same space now looks like this...

This view is from my door looking into my Studio...

Notice: Under the cabinets, I have a magnetic strip holding my scissors and punches.  I purchased towel racks and metal baskets from Ikea to keep everything UP off my work desk area. I had on FOX CHANNEL News on... at the time:)

 

I now store both sizes of Stampin' Up! card stock next to each other!  That is awesome! Instead of putting in the regular shelving, I asked my husband to purchase thinner pieces of wood and cut them down so I could have more shelving 'lighter & thinner' so I could store ALL 48 colors of our 8.5 x 11 & 12 x 12 card stock & Naturals (Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Confetti White, etc) !!

 

Below you can see how I hung my Stampin' Up! Sizzzix Die Samples, card stock sampler and Designer Series paper sampler on s-hooks:) Easy access and everything but my computer, phone and Big Shot off my work area!

 

My punches are here now... The two clear plastic file holders decorated with our Rub ons hold my future Stampin' Up! Events on one shelf and Closed Orders I'm waiting to receive on the other shelf.

The Turtle is from our Stampin' Up! Leadership 2009 :) It reminds me to S-L-O-W...  D-O-W-N... enjoy life.... as my friend Debbie so wisely shared with me! :)

 

All of my Stampin' Up! 'only'  Big Shot Supplies: Dies

Of course now that the new Spring Summer Catalog is here, I will have a few more Dies :)

 

I hope my storage has given you some helpful ideas. I will be adding these photos to my Office Album on my Side-burn (bar) :)

Wow Lois I love your new room. I have to work out of a corner of our family room/office area. I keep telling myself that I will have a craft room of my very own as soon as we move.
Take care, Eleanor
