OMG! Its finally done! Jason made me a new stamp room! I have the BEST husband ever!
He knows how much I needed a new, bigger space. So he converted part of our basement just for me. It wasn’t suppose to be done till next summer, but he pushed it WAY up on the priority list. PLUS all my stamping crap was driving him insane 😀
Its all about the ORGANIZATION and making the most of your space. No matter how big or small. That is something I am very good at I feel. When you are organized you can get the most use out of your creativity, and supplies. Having them organized and easily accessible is key to me. PLUS my serious case of OCD helps too. Each time I stamp my area has to be clear. Not always a bad thing.
So each day this week, not only do I HOPE to share a card with you, I will at the very least highlight an item of organization in my space that makes the creativity easy to flow!
Now for the photos! I am uploading thumbnails-so just click the photo to view larger. You really need to see the process to appreciate my EXCITEMENT!
My old room-in a small corner of our basement. VERY “COZY”, but organized.
I looks “cluttered, but there really was alot of thought to putting all this stuff in one small space. It was a little tight after 3 years, but it was ALL MINE. Beleive me you need to be organized to store all this in a tiny space.
My new room PREVIEW- before it was done over, it was a tiny old remodeled bedroom in the back part of our basement. It is now re-done to be MY space. The larger part of the basement is being redone to a playroom, with a kitchenette, and full bathroom. IN CASE we live here when Alexa grows up it can be converted into an apartment for her. If we aren’t here then it just increases the selling value.
After switching rooms I never want to move. I have a ton of stuff 😀
View from Window, View from Door, View of back of room
Now we really couldn’t move the pipes in that room, so we left them, and they are fine. TRUST ME NO COMPLAINTS HERE!
Here is my NEW! Room-only difference is I didn’t get the new window in the shots cause of the glare it caused. Its still there, just not in the picture.
View from the window, from the door, view of back room
Isn’t it GREAT! I painted it the Stampin Up! Sky Blue color which is SO soothing. Its very sunny here during the day. I am SO excited. I have a ton of cool things in here that I will ZOOM in on tomorrow, and throughout the week.
I have my SIL’s Wedding to go to so I HOPE to post the sketch tonight or tomorrow.
I cleared out tons of stamp sets, and still have a bunch left-so see my post about what I have left to sell! Its ALL 50% off the original prices. IF you are looking for something in particular let me know. I gots me some friends (wink) and have stuff I have yet to list, and would be happy to check for ya!
Have a “lucky” day! 07-07-07. I am not that into “luck”, more believe in divine intervention of God, but in-case he wanted to “intervene” I did play Powerball! LOL!
And HUGE Happy Birthday to my friend and upline Paulette! She is the source who fed my addiction! I didn’t get all crazy about stamping till I found Stampin up!
Now look at me-
I hope you like my room, and my product opinions to follow this week!

It is wonderful- perhaps I will clean my room seeing how neat yours is. I can’t wait to see what you create!
WHOO HOOO!!! That room is great Lauren!!! I can imagine you are just so excited to get in and start creating!! I wish I was 1/2 as organized are you are. Tell Jason he did a fantastic job!!!
Bravo! Looking good Lauren! I can not wait to move and have my own space, but we haven’t even completed the house plan so we have months before that happens. For now, I will live vicariously through my on-line friends who have their own space! Let the creativity flow…
Oh Lauren, I’m so excited for you! And jealous too! 🙂 I would LOVE my own craft room. sigh. I love the color you painted the walls. Gorgeous! I really want to paint a room that color too. So pretty!
This is so great Lauren! I love having my own stamp space too. My husband made it for me a year ago. Although I am already growing out of it and will need to make adjustments. But it does help the creativity flow when you have your own world to be in! Have fun with it!
Lauren, thanks for sharing the pictures of your new space. Congratulations! It looks wonderful, and I love that color of blue, nice and calming, a wonderful color to be surrounded by to inspire creativity.
Lauren it looks fantastic! Love the nice cool blue you chose, it is very clean and inviting! You have such a sweet hubby to help you convert your space. Love the countertop in your new area too! Wow you sure have a wonderful selection of things to choose from! Happy Stamping!
I’m all misty! Thanks for the birthday wishes, my friend!
Love the pix of the new room – it came out great! Can’t wait to see the magic you make in your new space!
Great new space Lauren!! All the better to create in!! Jason (and you) did a wonderful job putting this room together!!! Enjoy it!
Good for you, Lauren! You certainly deserve it and I know you will be stampin’ the nights away in your new space! Can’t wait to see all your lucious creations!

*LOVE* your new space, Lauren!! Gorgeous color, so nice & roomy!! And not to worry on those pipes – you can always thread inspirational materials or finished creations from fishing line draped over them…no wasted space! Can’t wait to see how your new space inspires your already-fantastic creations!!! ~ Kaylyn
Wow…your new space looks amazing! I love the Soft Sky color, all the cabinets! I’m so happy for you!
OMG Lauren this is fabulous!! You have a wonderful DH in Jason. You are so going to kick out some awesome creations in here.
Oh, wow!! This is super!! You’re so blessed that you have a wonderful hubbie! Hope you give him some good appreciation for this!! Wonderful that you have a window in your space, too. My basements have all had dinky little windows! Can’t wait to see the creations that come out of here!!
what a sweet room! love the space and the sky blue color. I look forward to your organizational tips – those are really valuable and I love a new trick or way to store things.
Congratulations….. I love your new studio! I too did my studio in about the same color blue , white and black. You will love your choices in colors for you space….I know I do. You are so right organization is so important no matter how big or small the space. Mondo Hugs to that DH…he is spectacular.
Congratulations Lauren.Your new studio is very pretty and organized. I’m like you. After I stamp my room has got to be cleaned. Happy Birthday Paulette.

Congratulations. I know that in “my space” I enjoy the quiet. I am very organized but find that it can get away from me if when I stop stamping and don’t put things away. I laughed when I saw the floor before you replaced it, the roses, I mean. We live in my husband’s homestead. When I moved in here, one of our bedrooms had the same linoleum floor. I bet you were happy to get rid of that. Ours is still under the carpet that we put down when I moved in twenty five years ago this month. Your husband did a great job and I am happy for you. Enjoy, enjoy!!!!!!!
OMG…you are a very lucky girl!!
It looks awesome,it’ll make stamping even more interesting,more inviting…you’ll want to stamp day and night!!
I’m so happy for you!!
Wow! This is awsome! How nice of your hubby to do this for you!
I’m so happy for you. Looks like a great workspace! Now go and create something beautiful for us to look at, please.
Congrats…what a room to be inspired in! I look forward to seeing all the happy cards that emerge from your clever imagination in your new stamping room. Big cheers to your DH!
Congrats on your new room!! I hope it brings you many hours of stamping fun as well as lots of creativity!!!
I love reading your blog you have great creations and I often have a giggle when reading some of your posts. That room looks soooo neat and organised can you come to my house in Australia and help me get organised!!!! LOL. I must say I nearly fell off my chair when I saw all those stamp sets up high, OMG!!. How do you find the one you want to use!!! Congrats on the new room seems like you will certainly fill it. Have a great day. Anna
[…] being said, while on a trip to my local hardware store, to buy paint for my new stamp space, I stumbled upon an item I already owned (in our kitchen closet) but saw it in a whole new light! […]
Totally awesome new space Lauren! So much counter space to work on now. You must be lovin it! And to have a window in there to get some natural light is totally awesome! Enjoy every creative minute in there!
cool! congrats girlie! that’s great and I’m soooo jealous!
I am lovin your new space! Your hubby is a sweetheart for rushing it along for you!
Lauren – WOW! That’s about all I could say! You both did an awesome job on your new space – its gorgeous and very well organized! Love the “canned goods” racks for all your embellies – what a creative idea – and I agree if you see it, you are more apt to use it! I am so happy for you! Tell Jason he did an awesome job!
Absolutely wonderful! What a great place to spend time in. I’ll be watching for more wonderful creations you come up with from your new space.
[…] I made this for my hubby to thank him for making me my stamp room! He deserved a SPECIAL card for all his hard work. So I did my best to make him look like Jason. He […]
