As we move into our new home, I had some projects I wanted to try out. This is me documenting some of them.

The first one is creating a new scrap space.

When I unpacked all my scrapbooking stuff, here's how the living room looked:



And then little by little, I put stuff away, so my table ended up like this:



isn't that much nicer? and here's everything else:



All those black buckets store a LOT of stuff. And here's a peek inside the drawers:



Tim Holtz stuff.



More Tim Holtz stuff.



Paint. All of the drawers are organized by categories that make sense to me. I've been using them for ten days now and so far the system is working great.



And here is the wall I look at when I work. A wreath from Pottery Barn, a sign I bought from a yard sale, and a beautiful painting by Kelly Rae Roberts. The other wall has a beautiful bird drawing from this etsy shop (which you can see in the "after" photo.)

So far, I'm loving this space to bits. Very functional and very tidy.
