I started moving my stuff into the studio today, it only took a few minutes to make it look a complete mess. I can't make my mind up where everything should go but I suppose it will easier once I start working and find out what's best. Helen gave me a moving in gift, the blue heart shaped clock, it's just propped up on there for now.
My bookshelf is filling up with nick nacks and books (!) there are still two empty shelves, I think I will buy some baskets for those.
I had hoped the Cricut boxes would stand vertically but they don't fit, never mind, I can read them more easily on their sides. I wasn't sure how to store my loose dies but discovered that the hanging basket is ideal for them.
This was a black plastic picture frame from Ikea, I sat out in the sunshine this morning and painted it blue. I am going to fill the centre with cork and cover it with fabric to make a message board.
Helen came to help and obviously decided to play with my camera when I wasn't there, I can only think that she wanted me to post her photo on my blog, so here you are Helen :)
Its looking lovely. I love that die cutting area, so handy to have everything at hand like that.

Wow it looks even more colourful now, which makes the bunting look like the perfect decoration.

I really like those 4 wall shelves. I would have never thought to buy or make multiples like that. Very cool! Happy crafting,

I love the look of the paper bunting on the wall. What kind of adhesive did you use to attach the paper?
Overall, you did a great job of space planning and I am very jealous.

Hi
I love your space
Can you remeber what the white wall shelves are called from Ikea that you have your heart shaped clock on?
Many thanks

Love your room! Are the pennants at the ceiling line paper and did you use the Sizzix die for them? So neat............
