I will be honest, I was stressin' about sharing my scrap room with the public eye - lol! I had way too much stuff and I was not using my space or my storage to the best of their abilities! This blog post kicked my butt into gear! I cleaned, purged, painted, rearranged - whew - the end result is SO WORTH IT! My room has needed this for quite some time now!
The green paint is new - isn't it lovely? I was holding on to a piece of cardstock for a few years now and I found the exact color of paint from Martha Stewart Living -Oolong Tea!
My scrap room was the opposite, my scrap area and computer area were swapped.
My scrap room / office is our formal dining room, a big space shared with our formal living room, which is my son's game room. :) The few views are standing in the formal living room looking into my scrap room:
I share both of these areas with my DS, he is very artsy and craft too - he loves to draw, so I love that both of my tables are big enough to share space with him:
This view is walking into my scrap room from our kitchen, you see now that I cleaned & purged I actually have empty shelves & drawers - whoooo-whooo:
The cheerleader stickers are very old - my son, then about 4, bought a sheet of stickers, used all of the sports guys and thought I would like the cheerleaders lol! They have been on the drawers for about 4 -5 years now!
The largest part of this reorganization was convincing my DH that my shelves & MM boards needed to be moved from the wall my computer desk is now on to this wall, but I need to have this stuff within reach when scrapping:
and this stuff within reach LOL:
This wall hasn't changed in the past few years, occasionally I swap out the layouts, but I love having layouts on display! These layouts are in album frames from Michael's:
There you have it! This is where I create! This is where I spend a lot of my free time! I love that I am in the middle of the family happenings (I used to be upstairs in a spare bedroom!). I don't have any new or great storage solutions ... only that I hope (and so does my DH!) that I can keep this place lookin' this good! :)

Great photos
In colour therapy, green is the colour of healing and growth. It’s calming and restful and brings balance to the soul......it’s also a lucky colour!
I love your room C! What a great space to create!
