Shiny New Craft Room

My craft room has been bugging me for a while- it actually was like an explosion had happened in a paper factory, everything everywhere and so so messy.  On the plus side I did know where everything was despite all the mess.

Well I decided it was time to change so after a hunt about I picked some units from Ikea- two large and one small and a table that fits onto the unit.

After a few days building, moving, throwing out and generally making myself  sore and bringing back the tendonitis in my hand and the tennis elbow I am now nearly finished- just a few more doors to go- but they are proving harder than the units to build as there are no ready made holes for door option- maybe I should have went for baskets!!!
So here's the mess before



and here's my new shiny craft room- a few more doors have been added on since- will have some open spaces and some doors



the bit of mess at the side of the desk has still to be cleared as there's a small set of drawers coming this week
Looking good now but can't find a bloody thing!!!!

I'm jealous, it looks like a beautiful place to create in. :) I love IKEA's Expedit setup, cubbies are awesome, but I like doors as well.

Looking fabulous Alison, all your hard work was worth it. I had a chuckle when you said can't find a bloody thing...lol that always seems to happen when you have a tidy up. Hope you're enjoying your new space.
