snapshots of the scrap room

a couple of months ago,

the scrap room was in need 

of a little 

re-organization.

of course,

i headed to my fave flea markets

to find a few things to help me out.

we are still renting

so it limits me

to what i can do.

here are a few 

photos of my creative space.

inspiration is the most important thing

to me in my scrap room.

i try to hang as much of it

around as i can.

the first photo is a precious

needlepoint that i found while in springfield.

it is hanging on a crib spring

that i picked up in denham springs.

the second photo is the door

from my great grandmother's house.

i hung some inspiration at the top.

at the bottom, there is a banner

made of vintage hankies 

and the sign-in canvas from our wedding.

the third photo is more random

hangings and inspiration.

here is where i store paint, mist, ribbon,

and lots of embellishments.

i love finding divided drawers, 

tins, and cute pyrex

to hold all of my embellishments.

i stack my inks in a drawer.

they are all labeled so it's easy

to find the one i'm looking for.

the vases are from my aunt

and i added some paper flowers just for fun.

i made the stand from cups and plates

found at a flea market.

it is perfect for random little pieces

that do not have another home.

these crates are home to lots of random things.

i found two golf ball baskets that hold punches.

the bucket holds some stamps.

the cigar box holds ribbon.

i love locker baskets.

they are perfect for fabric.

again, more little tins.

picked up these two little pieces for like $20 each.

the top is a record player stand. 

it has slots at the bottom that are perfect

for sticker and chipboard sheets

and still leave room for drawers in the center.

the other little piece i thought was just precious.

i have both drawers filled with stamps.

it had plain little white knobs on it.

i had to change it up with a

couple of great knobs from anthro.

i am definitely looking forward

to designing my scrap room 

in our new home.

i have lots of ideas for what i want

and what i need.

here are a few craft spaces

that i love:

unfortunately,

i haven't been spending much time

in my little creative space.

i need to get my mojo back.

haven't i said that before?

happy labor day!

ash.
