I decided that what I really needed was some kind of all purpose shelving unit to go underneath the existing shelf in the room. I went to look for some shelving solutions at various places and I was disgusted by the prices!! Michael's wanted $50 for two planks of laminated cheap wood that they were calling a desktop! I decided right then that for those prices I could buy tools and make what I needed myself.
Of course, now that I'm faced with having to design a solution for myself, I'm paralyzed with options. I have so many different needs that I need to fill and so many different things of different dimensions that I want to make room for. My other dilemma is that I don't just sew or just scrapbook, but I have a wide range of hobbies that I'm trying to keep separate and organized. Hopefully before next weekend I'll have made a decision and a solution for the room!
I found the Billy book case from Ikea super useful, and recently ran into this Martha Stewart collection of furniture for craft rooms that is fairly inexpencive http://www.homedecorators.com/newThumbPage.php?classification=18&typeDefId=12431 (but none of it as fun as getting all DIY on the project!) Can't wait to see what you do with the space!
ReplyDelete@Vivcore Oh wow, I love the Martha Stewart stuff! Sometimes I feel like my house is breeding Billy bookcases! XD They just aren't deep enough for what I need for this room though.
