My Creative Space

CIMG9920I was planning on showing you a fun peg board I painted but it ended up turning into a whole reorganizing project…  CIMG9892I wanted the space to be more functional instead of a place to collect clutter.  This resulted in clearing off my main table so that it would be just my project space.  I love having it in the middle of the room so that I can work all the way around it. CIMG9886 CIMG9889 CIMG9890CIMG9895 CIMG9907I like having everything out so I can see it…otherwise I may forget it is there!CIMG9897 CIMG9898 CIMG9900 CIMG9901 CIMG9905 CIMG9906I try to put my supplies in pretty containers so that they are organized but still attractive to the eye. CIMG9910 CIMG9911 CIMG9912 CIMG9914I dream of matching cabinets and shelf space but for now just having a place for it all is a huge time and clutter saver! CIMG9915 CIMG9916 CIMG9918What are your “creative space” dreams?

    I am green with envy right now over your space. It looks like a crafter's (I don't think that's really a word, but lets pretend) paradise. Good job!

    Wow--that is so cool. I wish I had room to have a space dedicated to crafting rather than keeping it all in rubbermaid drawers.

    OMG my jealousness of your incredible space is not appropriate...you literally made me GASP at my desk!
    It's AMAZING!!!

    I don't think we can be blog friends anymore b/c I am so jealous. ;) You have a whole room!! That is so cool...some serious eye candy in there. I love all the colors and the way you organized. I need to get on the ball with my own pitiful crafty "hallway." (yes, it's in a hallway) ;)

    Love your creative space! I wish I had one where the dog wouldn't jump up and ruin my tissue paper or lick my paint pens. Just this morning I started jotting down ideas of organizing my creative space!

    Oooooo...I loved taking a peek at your creative space. Look at all of the doo dads! I think I'm the opposite of you though...I like all of my things tucked away behind doors and drawers. I don't like to see all of the stuff. But, I'm sure I'd use it more if it were all out in the open!

    Having everything out is the key - isn't it! It looks fun - I love your dress form.

    I just LOVE your pegboard. Had to call my daughter in to show her. Now the wheels are turning on where we could put on...her bedroom or above our desk...hmmmm. :) Were those candle holders attached to your Eiffel Tower? I have an Eiffel Tower lamp that I just adore. TFS!

    WAY TO GO! It looks so good. I love all the sections and organization! How long did it take?
    My dream is to go to the container store and buy a space for every "type" of craft item!

    That space is making me miss mine, and get those creative juices flowing! I'd love to spend some time in there and play.

    My dream. Hmmm. I dream pretty big. I could use the entire basement set up for me, but right now I'd settle for a little corner I can shut the door and have all to myself.

    I'm so envious! I want to organize my creative space but when I walk in the room I get distracted and walk out or get busy making something instead of cleaning. Urg!
