Okay ladies and gentlemen. . .I know you are going to be as impressed as I was when opening up the photo files Jana sent in for today! I think we all need to invite ourselves over for a scrappin' party! I'm going to let Jana take the floor from here and walk us through her Scrapbooking Room.
Last year we were able to build our dream home. I was lucky enough to design my scrap room with built-in cabinetry. I LOVE it! It's my favorite room in the house! The room was meant to have a walk-in closet and a an adjoining small bathroom. Instead, we opened the space completely up and made different work areas out of the resulting odd shape. The main area is where my desk is.
I love this area because I was able to have drawers built right behind my desk that house my punches and embellishment drawers (separated by color).
To the right of my desk is a room that steps up six inches, this is where the closet was supposed to be. I put floor-to-ceiling cabinets to store my paper, scrapbooking kits and albums.
There is a small desk area for my children to work. I also have a cabinet in there where I store my alphabets. I have them sorted by color in Iris Snap-Close cases. I love this system! I can quickly and easily find the letters I want to use on my projects.
The main desk area is L-shaped. This is the view from my desk looking towards the other side of the room. I call this area my stamping station. There is a small sink there and this where I work with anything that is messy: inks, stamps, paints, glitter, etc. My kids also like to hang out there doing homework. In the corner my husband added a TV on the wall along with a chair so that he could have a place to sit and chit-chat while I work.
Thanks for having a look at my space! I hope you'll come over and scrap sometime! :)
Like it couldn't get any better, Jana has created her last layout using both Family Tree and Swing Into Spring products.
Check out that tree!
Beautiful work Jana! You are truly an inspiration on so many levels! Thank you for sharing your time, talents and space with us!
OH MY GOSH!!! Dream-worthy & unbelievable!
I want to see the rest of your gorgeous home, Jana. So tasteful and beautiful, I'm sure!

As an interior designer ~ I am so impressed! I love it! You did a fantastic job of thinking of all the things you use while scrapbooking and how you would be using the room and really executed it. Great job!
The layout is beautiful!

Everything about her studio is just stunning. The cabinetry, the set-up, the countertops. I would never leave this room.
