Ok, no e-mails about the messy tables ok? I have not stamped for over 2 weeks, so 3 nanoseconds after these tables were set up, I had stuff out….it gets a little better each day as I work on challenges and classes and find new homes for my little treasures. So lets start the tour
This is the left wall with the man door where stamping friends will enter. My DH Ian installed the display shelves for me and we used an old dresser to store items with the top making a great work station for my MR. BIG.
The green board is a cork board that I also painted Certainly Celery and the monthly sales specials from Stampin Up will be posted there along with a calendar of events.
(when I get them finished).
As you can see, I embraced the pole. I had many great suggestions from online stamping friends on what to do with this pole – POLE DANCING anyone!….I decided to use it as a display pole so I wrapped it with 20 gauge wire and I used our mini library clips to clip up cards and ideas for my students.
Now check out – 4 work tables…..the mess on the right is where I play. I have 3 bins of tools and supplies in front of where I work and you will see all my supplies are right behind my chair. 12 – 14 students will now fit comfortably in here. Ian noticed the chair back in the corner by the door on the left – he wondered if that is where the "bad stampers" had a little time out…..ROFLOL. Maybe!.
This is the right wall. Now you know what I do with my 40% off coupons from the Big Box Craft store!. I buy those cool white cubes with the drawers for storage. They are so neat and tidy and stack-able, love them. My father in law did not think much of putting them together though!.
See my card stock on the second shelf of the black unit. They are inside the Stampin Up Paper Holders (page 203) of the caddy, but instead of pulling them out every time I want paper, I turned them on their back, so now the paper just slides in and out.
And here is my MOST FAVORITE thing in my new studio.
My friend Linz sent me this beautiful vinyl sign for my wall. I didn't put it up in our rental because I didn't want to loose it. As soon as the furniture found it's permanent home in here, up went this sign.
I love this sign, it is so me, I go through withdrawals if I don't do something creative each day and Linz, thank you again so much for this.
Ok readers, this is not a S.U. DEFINITELY DECORATIVE item, but I am allowed to show it to you as long as I don't advertise the company it came from. There, that is my "SAVE MY HINNY" 'disclaimer for you all!. I am actually testing the doors on all those built in cupboards to see what sticks to them, so there will be some Definitely Decorative items coming to this studio shortly.
Ok, that's it for today, I have to go and get my Diva Coffee Break Design Challenge card finished and posted, so thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow
Now go get some ink on those pretty little fingers of yours

Very nice. I am jealous. You and DH did a great job! Good luck.
I love your room! I have two poles exactly like yours in the middle of my room. They’re about 8 ft apart. I had thought of putting my cards there too, but hadn’t come up with a bright idea of how to do it. Thanks for the super idea!
How inspiring! I am really happy for you to have this wonderful new space and I can’t wait to see all of the beautiful new projects you create in here. PS Where do you put your cars?
WOW you and Ian have outdone yourselves, its gorgeous, I love your new studio, wish I could come and play.
Very Nice…..What a Beautiful place to creat, inspire and share…..
I love your new room, Sandi. You are very lucky gal to have a room all your own. Enjoy!
OMG WOW I love this! Well done you 2 what a fabulous job you have done! I love it all!!!! TFS
What a great room Sandi! So nice and bright. Now.. how quickly can you mess it up? Very neat, and nice!
oh whow girl friend – your studio is just stunning – beautiful way to use the space. looks to awesome – can come for class?
OH Sandi, this is so amazing! I can’t believe how it’s all come together. Every thing is in it’s place- lucky girl!
Wow – what an awesome space! I too can’t park in my garage, but not because of a cool stamp room – my husband is a chronic “I don’t know what to do with this _____ so I’ll stick it in the garage” kinda guy…LOL Enjoy your new space!
I like my stamp space, but I am in LOVE with yours. Enjoy your time creating!
Sandi – you and your husband did a superb job on your new stamping studio! I can tell you don’t live anywhere near Michigan because in our garage it’d be too hot and humid in the summer and COLD in the winter!
I wonder too, where do you put your cars?
Have fun stamping and creating! Thanks for sharing the pics.
I LOVE your new stamp room!! I am soooo jealous of all the storage and goodies right at your finger tips! I have the goodies, but not at my finger tips by any means. Your ‘mess’ is a good mess though – a creative one!!
