My space

I am finally uploading more photos from my scraproom! It is so very cool, but still not enough storage sace! I've spent quite a bit on matching baskets and bins so it will look more put together than my old hodgepodge of containers and shelves. I know I still need to get more and change a few more things around, but for now it'll work. In the middle of my work end of the room is my island. This so totally rocks!! Its built at counter height since I always end up standing when I'm working. It was a tough decision to make, but I'm so glad I went with this!! I have a spot on both sides (actually all 4) so I can sit at my barstool if I want. Within reach I have shelves with slideout baskets. This is the part I want to streamline so it looks all neat and pretty like the shelves behind it. For now though, I have all of my basic tools that I use every day in a basket on the top shelf. It can slide out like a drawer or I can sit it on the countertop. My trimmer, rulers, wheel guides, etc are stored beside it on the shelf. To the shelf beside that I have other tools that I don't as fequently. Alsoon my working side of the island is a basket for ribbon rolls, a whole shelf dedicated to scrap storage, a basket of stickers and die cut stuff, and drawers with other color goodies like wc pencils, wc crayons, reinkers, sponges, daubers,etc

The ribbon rolls are my non-SU full or almost full rolls, plus the ribbon original cards from SU fit perfectly to the side. MY SY ribbon are in the ribbon keepers that we sell, located temporarily on ashelf, but I don't like them there. Ribbon scraps as well as yardage I bought are stored in jars on the shelf. The big pieces (1 yard+ cuts) are rolled on old fashioned clothespins. My scraps are stored all together now woohoo!! on a handy shelf. If the piece is less than cardfront size it goes into the black box on the bottom (not show but it has dividers for every color). The neutral scraps go in the other black box on top. Anything that is bigger than card size but smaller than a full sheet gets stored in the magazine holders on the right of the picture. They are sorted by color as well, but not divided. More pics and info later ;)
