Here is my creative space! This room inspires me to create. I have plenty of room to spread out (and I can cover this whole table pretty quickly) and reach all my tools easily. Having everything organized and in it's place really helps me to be efficient in my work. My craft table is an old kitchen table with a MDF board on top to make it large enough for 10 stampers. I cover the table cloth with a thin layer of plastic for protection from the "stamping" elements.
The metal wall was created using thin ventilation sheet metal. I first anchored thin wood boards to the studs and then attached the metal sheeting to the wood boards. It creates a wonderful vertical storage and display. Jumbo magnets hold my Stampin' Up! ribbon organizers to the sheet metal. The mesh metal baskets were found at The Container Store. My cabinets came from Home Depot.
My adjustable shelves allow me more storage and presentation area.
Displaying my beautiful Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers brightens my room and lets me see what I have on hand to create with. I'm a very visual person and having these vibrant colors displayed is inspiring.
Your stamp room is gorgeous!!!

So gorgeous! I'm getting inspired just by looking at YOUR room! Beats my dark, dingy, damp, corner I have in my basement. Good for you!!

I am jealous. I wish I could get my room to look like that. Guess I need to get busy get it together. I agree that being organized make creativity easier. One Question though, what is it that is holding the little trash bags at each place setting. That is such a great idea (and better than my "Paper Poop Box".

I'm jealous!!! Moving to a two bedroom condo from a 4 bedroom, full basement, screened in porch has been difficult to adjust to, especially in the crafting room!
