Julie's Art Room
As many of you know, I like to
dabble in many
crafts. When we moved to California, Bill said I could have a room
devoted
to my crafts in the new house. I think it was really his way of keeping
my mess away from the rest of the house, but whatever the reason, I
love
the result.
I feel very fortunate to have a loving husband who supports my artistic efforts and allows me to spend our money to create a wonderful room to be creative in. Although, he says that if I can't keep the room clean now, there is no helping me.
I guess there is no helping me.
Here's some pictures of the room.

| View from
the Door Looking in the room from the door you can see the desk and the white shelves that hold my stamps. I turned the shelved sideways and built 1 1/2 inch high shelves that rest on 1/4 round molding. On top of the stamp storage unit I have my embossing station. Behind the stamp storage shelf is a round container with my rolls of specialty papers. |

| View of my
Desk Bill helped me build this L shaped desk. It works great. My main work surface contains a large cutting mat, my Ott light, my tv and miscellaneous supplies. Under the desk I have 2 Iris carts and 1 file cabinet, The file cabinet holds my patterns and class handouts. The Iris carts hold specialty paper, embossing powders, and Radiant Pearls. Behind my desk are 4 more Iris carts. These hold my most frequently used supplies. On top of these I store my Markers, paint brushes and Ink Pads in 2 revolving holders. |

| Right of the
Door A large bookshelf is immediately to the right of the door that contains my art books and magazines. Next to it are two paper organizers, which hold my cardstock and text weight paper. This corner of the room contains my mom's original drafting table with my Genesis paper cutter. Inside the table is my reinkers and spray stuff, and extra bulk embossing powder. |

| Looking toward
the closet The Clear View drawers contain miscellaneous crafting supplies. They have my paints, ribbon, candle wax, large foam stamps, clay, etc. Wrapping, contact and cellophane paper rolls are in a storage cart in the corner. |

 |
| Closet The closet is re-born. It is amazing how much stuff you can fit in a closet when you have shelves right where you want them. The closet contains my catalogs, magazines, dried flowers, and more misc. craft supplies. |
