It's DONE!!!!!....well almost.

We still have a lot of the little finishing touches to do, but for the most part my stamp room is ready to be played in!

In the future we plan on adding overhead cabinets above my work space...but that is a project for another time.

Beside mounting the countertops to the wall, staining a few of the cabinets, staining the veneer that goes on the sides of the cabinets...we are done!

I do have a few decorative projects planned for this winter. The first one is to get lots of pictures of family, friends and pets enlarged and then changed to B&W to decorate the walls with. I also plan on doing one of those giant stamped wall clocks (like the one in the SU! catty).

Now for the fun part....pictures!!!














Storage closet (I still haven't put the knobs on)
















I store all my current sets on the shelving unit. Retired sets and seasonal are in closet
















Class space, plus we use the counter top space















Paper corner (12x12 is in the cabinet below.)















Messy storage closet that holds all my *extra* stuff!
















Ribbon corner (I love ribbon!)
There are 3 floss boxes full of ribbon in there.

A busy weekend

We are trying to finish up with most of the work in my stamp room this weekend. Then during the week I can lay the flooring and start moving my stuff back in yippee!!! As for today we still have another coat of primer to apply, and hopefully by tomorrow I can get some color on those walls!!!

Here are a few upadted pictures:

Another weekend down...

Unfortunately we didn't have as much time as we would have liked to work on my stamp room...but some is better than none...I guess.

I have a closet!!! Whoo Hoo!!!

Today we are in the final stages of sanding and I hope to be priming the walls tomorrow. I did prime one wall last night, just so that I could get a feel for how well it covered the joint compound.

I can't wait to paint!!!! Now the only question is what color do I paint this room???? There is a part of me that really wants Stampin' Up's So Saffron but yet I still want a burnt orange...only time will tell!!

So where are all the cards you ask???

That is a good question! This is suppose to be a blog about stamping and scrapbooking...and yet I have nothing posted on this matter! How rude!!

Well the problem is that my stamp room is undergoing some *MAJOR* renovations, and all my stamps are packed away in boxes. I miss them :(

So I was thinking...seeing how I don't have any pictures of cards or scrapbook pages that I have done recently. I figured I will post pictures of the new stamp room as we work on it. I know...not as much as stamping projects...but it's all I got for right now!!

These 2 pictures are showing what we started with.

Here is a picture I took this morning. As you can see we finally got the stairs flipped around so that they lead into the 'soon to be' family room...and I get a new closet! Fun!!

Tonight we are planning to do some drywalling on the closet. All I know is that we better get cracking, because I have stamp club in this room in 20 days!!!!
