If you click over to my flickr –> over there in the sidebar, you can see my craft room/office. Okay, office because the desk with computer and the stand with the printer is in here.
Then I go to the craft store or Target and see things like this
That is the back of the box. Does that set up not look like craft room heaven!
I was with a friend of mine when I took this picture – see the individual cubes at the bottom? That’s how they are sold. So for the set up shown on the back of the box it would be about $350 – before taxes. And of course not counting the time it would take to assemble it!
Anyway, my friend Monica (the same one who taught me how to crochet!) offered to help me build a set of crafty desk stuff. We figured it was just fiberboard (is that what it is called?) and then of course the hardware, painting, etc. Putting boxes together wouldn’t be that hard.
I have yet to draw out what I want my space to look like, and that means I don’t know what it would cost from the store. I plan on figuring the cost and refiguring the cost because I know if it is too expensive to make – taking into account my time – I’ll end up buying.
Of course, the other problem is that we are military and if I configure something great for this space, this house, what happens when it is time to move?
ETA: I bought graph paper so I can plot it out. Okay I admit it – I love office supplies. I am a little OC when it comes to paper, pens, pencils. I mean I need to have a certain pen and certain type of paper depending on what I am writing down. Yes, it sounds crazy! LOL But its my system, it work and I love it!
So I bought the graph paper and am going to do a couple of drawings this weekend. I’m excited! I really really really want a new crafty space. I sort of have a table – sort of because it is in the loft and currently has toys piled on top of it. I need a crafty table that is only for crafts.
