PaperCraft Studio Complete

It has been a project that I've wanted to do for a while (and after being fed up with my kitchen and laundry room being a make-shift work area and storage) it is now a reality. In our home we have an upstairs that is off of the kitchen that was used as a catch-all for 30 years that would make a perfect studio for my papercrafting - so with a lot of help from my husband and family we have remodeled the area to be just that! To get a full sense of what it was and where I am sitting today, I'll share a few photos.

This was the area in my kitchen that I used for my projects. I also used my kitchen table for laying out the projects which was a wonderful work space, just not real efficient when it came time to eat any meals.

 This was my storage space in my laundry room for all my stamp sets, paper and embellishments - YIKES! Although it worked for a time, I really got frustrated every time I needed to do the laundry or get into the other area of the room.

 


It worked while we made the remodel project a reality!

On August 9th the dumpster arrived to clean out the 30 years of stuff and start demolition!

 How much stuff can accumulate in 30 years? Well there was a lot of stuff! The area had 3 rooms with the larger room being right off the stairs.

With everything cleaned out, we started demo and I decided that it would be better as one big room. So down came the walls and up went the support beams for the ceiling.

Mudding/Paint, ready to spray!

Add the laminate floor and light fixtures! We are ready for shelving and furniture. Ready to see the end result? Here it is!

Hard to believe that I'm sitting at my desk in the corner of this beautiful room sharing this with you! I'm really excited to be ready to use the space to create and play with all the great new products CTMH just released! On with the adventure! Be good to yourselves and I'll post some of the projects soon. Dani
