Question: I saw a picture of an incredible scrapbooking room on the MAD CROPPER web site. Do you know where our fellow scarpbooker found her oranizational furniture? I am setting up a 10 X 10 room and would love to get some of the furniture she has featured.
I am in committed to making a legacy for my 4 children whom the youngest is 16 - a bit of a late start but better late than never.
Thank you for your help ~
Answer: I am glad you are getting your own space!!! I found some links on the website showing the room that led me to a description by the room designer. Here is her summary and the link: “All of the upper cabinets and mullion doors were purchased via the internet more than a year ago. They are made of Maple solid wood. I can not remember the site but what I do remember is that the prices of these cabinets are comparable to those cabinets with particle boards that you can get at Lowe’s or Home Depot that’s why with a little more money, I chose to get these solid wood ones. The lower cabinet I purchased from IKEA. It is a free-standing kitchen cabinet from the VARDE series. I asked my DH to cut the legs off to a table height (28 1/2″) so that it will look like a custom cabinet with the 4 paper shelves units inside. Got those paper storage at www.poorray.com. I used 12 TARGET cubes to make the other part of this L-shaped desk. I purchased 2 PRONOMEN countertops from IKEA and cut it to the desired length. The countertop is WIDER in depth compared to the TARGET cubes so I was able to make it my desk with numerous storage underneath while still making it look custom-made. Page 9 — My We R Memory Keepers & Prima collection Page 10 — close-up of my desk where I have my Cricut. Also have the DRAWERZ tilt bins from QVC to store my small embellishments. page 11, 12 — close-up of TARGET cubes. I use them to sort my stickers and embellishments by different categories like baby girl, baby boy, love, friends, school, Christmas, etc. Some I sort by brands if I have many like Basic Grey, Studio K, Brenda Walton and the like. Others for my adhesive, fastenater staples, frames, tags, etc. Page 13, 14 — These white MDF drawer chests contain my alphabet and numbers chipboards. Got those at the Container Store. page 15 — black carousel organizer that I got at Marshall’s for $19.99. Quite a steal at that price! I was so happy when I saw it and it’s the only one in the store. page 16 — Lazy Scrapper (www.acrossthest.com) is a paint can that has a turntable base where I keep my decorative scissors, trimmer, ATG 700 adhesive. Lots of mesh pockets to use. Got it at 40% off at a LSS.”
