Small craft spaces

**Jo F** · 18-05-2013, 09:12 AM

Hi everyone!
I have recently moved back to the UK after living abroad for 16 years. I had my own scrapbook room and now am sharing a room with my daughter (messy divorce) and waiting to get my own house. It will be small so I know my scrapping area will be very small.
Does anyone have pictures or videos of their small areas to give me hope and inspiration??? I have googled it but was hoping for UK scrappers to get ideas for storage available over here. I am in Leicestershire by the way and very happy to be back home! I did bring some of my scrapping stuff but had to sell a bunch too which makes me a bit sad.

Anyone know of any inspiration for me?

I was doing some Project Life too before I left....

Hi there, I have a corner of our living room to scrap in and have little space, here's my post about when I got my expedit arrived fron ikea and how I arranged it all: http://sarah-scrappydappydo.blogspot...s-arrived.html
This was taken a few years ago but it's still pretty much the same, reorganised and a little cluttered but I still love it xxx

Hope this helps xxx

I moved from a 'craft room' at my old house to my current house where there isn't room for me to have a room to myself - I have the end of my bedroom 9'x3' .........I bought a very sturdy 'proper' office desk 5'x3' and have a couple of drawer units to match underneath & one at the side to house my paper / cardstock - and a 6' bookcase with boxes on to house all my stuff. Because the desk is so sturdy I can pile shelving units and RUB boxes on at the back too - I really don't have masses amounts of stash but I still have too much.

I have my oldest son's old bedroom which is approx 8ft sqaure. I have wall to wall expedit as it's just so solid and sturdy and looks good too.

Thanks ladies! I love seeing your spaces! I had 2 huge expedits in my old room so the desk and expedit set up I love especially! Had to sell so much lovey furniture to move here so I am really starting from scratch and penniless.

Ebay here I come!

Hi Jo, thought you might be interested to know that there's a new scrapbooking club starting in Shepshed near Loughborough. A chance to meet some fellow scrappers, do some craft and have a cup of tea

It starts on Mon 3rd June so if you're interested then send me a message

I'm watching with interest- I went from two large expedits and a Welsh dresser, to a desk and a Welsh dresser. Plus, the PC and printer that used to be on the big dining table are on the desk, so I can't actually scrap on it...

In our old house I used to scrap under the stairs!

Oh, I adore it!
Wonder if I can convert ours! x

I haven't got a picture as we have moved now but when I first started scrapping our house was very tiny and I had a large mimi rolly thing with paper divided storage and embellishment boxes and packets in. I used to roll it wherever I could scrap - usually when DS2 was sleeping in his cot - drop the front, open the top, sit at the kitchen table and then craft next to a 12x12 really useful box. When I had to stop, everything got put away quickly, zipped up and any ongoing project got put in the r.u.b. How's that for tiny! Now I have a stockroom and a craft room - scrappy heaven lol jenx
