A Peek at My Crafty Space + GIVEAWAY

Warning: this post may not portray me in the most realistic light.

My room never looks like it does in the following photo. I don't think there's ever a day when I don't have at least one project splayed out on the desk. But Imaginisce asked all the design team members to do a feature for their blog called i-Space and give you a little peek at where we create. And today it's my turn (a.k.a. time to clean things up!).

So here's a rare look at my very clean (for the moment) room:


Lots more photos and descriptions of my storage solutions are on the Imaginisce blog today, so hop over there and check it out.

GIVEAWAY

But while you're here, leave a comment below to win an Imaginisce prize package, including papers, embellishments and stamps from the Little Cutie line AND the very cool d-stress tool!

Hope you enjoy the tour!

    I love your room and love that the stripes have a sentimental value. WE are going to be moving into our new house in a couple of months and I know I am going to be sad to leave the big tree I had painted in my daughter's bedroom. (tear). Looks fabulous though! I am your newest follower!

    Like I said before, I can only dream of a space like yours. I really want to redo my area and make it more organized and add storage, but it's hard when I have such a small, limited use of space. I do agree with you on the Michael's storage bins. They're so tempting. I use fish tackle boxes for my craft totes and storage. They can hold soooo much!

    This is very pretty. I have a decent scrap room, but it doesn't even compare to this. I can't wait until I can get an Expedit shelf (I bought a 2x2 for my son's room because I just had to have one somewhere in my house) for my office. Hopefully one day I can redo my closet and find the perfect spot for one. Love your space...it definitely inspires!

    Hi! I love your scrap room, the window is fabulous. The pinstripes look so bright and cheerful, and its wonderful how you won't paint over them for sentimental reasons, I'm the same way!

    I actually had a question - how did you get your vertical paper storage to fit in the expedit? I have the same bookshelf, and what seems to be the same paper storage - but mine won't fit inside!

    Thank you for running this giveaway!
