Operation Craft Haven

For over a year now I have been doing research on Google image for inspiration on storage ideas and how to create a space to call my "Crafter's Haven". In 2 years, I have changed up my storage and workstation at least three times that my husband said to me if I am going to do this again, I'd better do it right. I agreed with him wholeheartedly. The long overdue project has been completed thanks to my architects, demolition crew, construction workers and waste management team...Hubby, Sissy, Brother in-law and yours truly:) This Fabulous Foursome conquered this project in 3 days.



This is my logo and first craft project on my new work station.

The most exciting part was putting together the little details.

1) Old drawer I used as a buffet table which I converted into my desk. A little bit of sand paper and spray paint did magic to this desk and brought it to life again. I will decoupage the top of the desk with some cards I've made and decorative paper then throw a sheet of plexiglass for extra protection. 2) Built in shelving for an amazing decorative effect. 3) Time and patience= a beautiful place to create.

Embellishments that were previously smooshed in containers are now arranged in jars to show off it's beauty. The gerber daisy flower arrangements are pens-dual action going.
If you are like me, you know what I mean when I say that you can never have enough spaces and places to put stuff. Well with a quick organized fix such as these plastic shoe containers, you can find a place for everything hard to part with.
Now everything has a home.
Gone are the days when just one out of my 20 pairs of scissors could not be found. With containers and labels, my new space allows me to create and work on projects with convenience and ease.
