This is the view from the stairs, showing the "guest area". (Also where I pile stuff till I know guests are coming over!)

The shelves below the huge white table at the back are where I store my bead supplies - see the labeled boxes there? All other storage is used for stamping and papercrafting supplies and tools. Gadgets are a good thing!

This is the view from my stamping desk. My craft area is the basement, and Mike built or customized most of the storage areas. The area was recently rearranged, to make more room for guests. I have several friends (converts? partners in crime, er, crafting?) who stamp/bead and we enjoy crafting together. Thanks to Kristen, who measured and planned, and Mike, who helped move things! Moose has a couple of beds here - he especially likes sleeping in front of the small heater.

This is the "wall of storage" and die cutting station. My Zip'eMate and Wizard are just about my favorite tools! See the two cabinets? The one on the right holds 12x12 papers on shelves, plus storage for baskets of ribbons; the one on the left has more paper storage, plus storage for more stamps, magazines/books, and miscellaneous items.

Where I sit, usually. The stamp shelves were built by Mike. We rolled dice to see how far apart the separators should be! More stamp shelves are at the bottom of the stairs, shown below.




That's it for now - Kristen's here - we must bead, then go to class at Cottage Corner!
