Welcome to the Sunny Stampin’ Studio
Posted on: Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009Some of you may remember last August when I was in the midst of my ”adventures in renovation”. We had purchased a “new-to-us” house and then undertaken 6 weeks worth of renovations prior to moving in. The renovations were motivated by the fact that we needed a place for my 88 year old grandparents to live that was easily accessible to the rest of the house and that was senior-friendly. Because we were giving up so much main floor space, because we wanted things to be as quiet as possible in a house with 5 kids (hence we needed a place the kids could play), and because I needed a place to run my business, we decided that as part of the renovations, it would be a good idea to finish the basement. As the basement was totally unfinished it gave us a lot of flexibility in designing the layout and let me plan my dream stamping studio “from scratch”.
I’ve been promising since I moved in that as soon as I was done getting my studio all organized, I’d share pictures. It’s been a work-in-progress but FINALLY I’m pretty much done. I’ve taken a bunch of pictures so that I can give you a step-by-step tour and share with you how I organize my papercrafting supplies. So let’s head on down my basement stairs, go around the corner, walk down the hall and approach the double doors. As I open the double doors this is my first glimpse of the room:
I’m now going to take you on a full tour starting off towards the right and working our way around the room counter-clockwise.
In these four paper racks I keep all my 12″ x 12″ CS, both my 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 12″ x 12″ neutral CS as well as other assorted CS. I bought the racks at a place called West End Wire in Toronto The ribbon rack is one that I build with my dad – we got all the materials for it at Home Depot - I keep ALL my ribbon on there (current & retired) and organize it by color. I have one dowel per color which as you can see leaves me with plenty of room to grow *lol* I keep my sewing machine there as well. The little white cabinet (from Ikea) with drawers are where I keep sewing-related stuff. The French door on the left that you just catch a glimpse of, is part of a double set of French doors (they came from the main level when we closed off the dining room to create a bedroom for my grandparents). When you walk through the French doors you get to the kid’s playroom – so I can keep an eye on them while I stamp.
On the other side of the double French doors I have a file cabinet (Staples) that I use for all my CS scraps – I have one hanging file per color. I also keep most of my accessories in this corner. The walls of the corner looked a bit empty so I decorated it with some of Stampin’ Up!’s Manhattan Flower Decor Elements in Chocolate Chip and Kraft. The shelves come from Ikea as do the little glass jars – the little jars house my paper flower and button collection. The basket you see in the corner is going to be filled with slippers in the winter for my customers because the floor down there gets pretty cold – actually the whole room does which is why I keep a heater down there which you can just catch a glimpse of in the corner beside the file cabinet.
Moving along you see my two low cabinet units – these are from Ikea. The cubbies on the right hand unit is my “idea” station – that’s where I keep my Stampin’ Up! catalogues and Stampin’ Success magazines (past and present) as well as all the magazines I subscribe to and idea books I own. All the magazine holdes came from Ikea as well (can you tell I love Ikea *wink*?) I use the top surface of the cabinets as a workstation for my Circle Scissors Plus and my Big Shot. The card rack you see is where I keep cards that I have for sale – I bought it in the US about a year and a half ago and unfortunately can’t remember the name of the place I got it from (I found the place by doing a google search). The small black boxes (Ikea) hold cards that I use for giving as well as sending out to customers. The black boxes that you see along the bottom of these cabinets (Ikea) as well as the cabinets in the next picture are where I store all sorts of things such as items to stamp on (tins, boxes, test tubes etc), I keep my hostess and recruit packets, my plastic bags, stuff for trade shows and displays etc. etc. The slat wall you see was purchased at home depot – it’s the paint grade slat wall although you can also get it in white melamine-coated. I have two in all (they measure 4′ x 8′) I use them to display samples. The little acrylic shelves and scrapbook page holders I purchased from a scrapbook store that was going out of business.
These two cabinet units are also from Ikea. I use the top row to display samples as you can see. I purchased little shelves at Ikea that fit perfectly inside each cubby so that I can elevate some of the samples. The white plastic drawers (from Walmart) house a lot of my small stuff – adhesives, sponges, blender pens, aquapainters, Stampin’ Around wheels, Stampin’ Spots, Stampin’ Write markers, etc. The 12″ x 12″ paper holders (from Stampin’ Up!) hold all my Designer Papers, chipboard, Simply Scrappin’ Kits etc. As you can see I have a few empty cubbies for “growth” *lol* The Black Boxes contain pretty much what I talked about above. The white rubbermaid containers contain more cards that need to be sorted. On the wall I’ve framed scrapbook pages in shadow boxes which I purchased at Michael’s. The little black drawer unit I purchased from Home Sense and it contains my office supplies (pens, pencils, erasers, calculator etc).
We’re now at the far end of my studio. The two doors you see actually hide my electrical panel – so nothing exciting there. The basket in the corner is where I keep some of the most immediate orders that are waiting to be picked up. The cubbies that you see in the picture above were purchased at home depot. I use the top two rows for current stamp sets and the bottom row for retired stamp sets that I can’t bear to part with. All along the top of the shelf I use for ink storage. The slat wall is once again used to display samples.
We’re now at the back left corner of my studio where I had a little kitchen built. I keep a fridge, micro and my expresso maker down here so that I don’t have to leave everytime I want a cup of tea or coffee. The cabinets primarily house more papercrafting supplies – envelopes, glitters, liquid adhesives, embossing powders, glue gun, stuff to stamp on etc. The top three drawers on the left house my punches. The cabinet to the right of the fridge is where I keep all my Big Shot dies. The big drawers contain my light tables, Bind-it-all, heat tools etc. I own multiples of many of the tools to make it easier for classes.
This is a picture of my kitchenette full on. During classes I use the counter for coffee/tea and snacks. When I’m there by myself I’ll keep things I use a lot out such as my heat tool, my craft mat and hobby blade, my table top cutter etc. The tins you see hanging on the left I use during classes – I put one on each table. Inside each tin I keep paper snips, bone folders, paper piercers, pencils, 2-way glue etc. The tins and the holder are from Ikea – actually the whole kitchen is. The only other thing I may do is spruce up the kitchenette area with some Decor Elements, but I haven’t really decided.
As you can see from this picture, the kitchen is actually hidden by a little partial wall. On the other side of the wall I keep more paper racks where I keep all my Stampin’ Up! 8 1/2″ x 11″ CS - current color families, the naturals, the In Colors and some of the retired In Colors. These paper racks I purchased from the same scrapbook store that went out of business where I got my acrylic slat wall displays . We’ve now come full circle of my room and we’re back where we started. The next two pictures will give you a view of my studio from each end. My actual studio is about 17 feet x 25 feet. My overhead lighting is fluorescent lighting – there are 6 big lights like the ones you see in all. My husband asked an electrician friend of his to plan out the lighting for the room so that there would be plenty of light to see fine detail by no matter what time of night it was.
The picture above was taken as I was standing just in front of the double French doors leading to the playroom. The picture below was taken from the opposite end of the room. As you can see I like to keep my tables (three 6 foot tables) in a row down the middle of the room – it’s more conducive to socializing for my customers. Right now I have it set up for seating for 14 people - which is what I like to cap my events at because it allows me to give people plenty of elbow room.
My personal workspace is at the end of the table as you can see in the picture above.
When I’m actually getting ready to papercraft I set it up as you see in the picture above. I always use Stampin’ Up!’s grid paper – I love the fact that it has the build in rulers. The yellow bucket is my garbage can, the tin bucket houses my paper snips, bone folder, 1/16″ handheld punch, 2-way glue, a pencil, paper-piercer and ribbon scissors (I like to use Stampin’ Up!’s paper and craft scissors). The little caddy is one that I found at Home Sense. I absolutely love it because I can keep my basic tools that don’t fit in the tin handy: i.e. a Stampin’ Scrub, Stampin’ Mist, Stamp-a-ma-jig, foam mat, paper piercing template, Tombow Multi-Purpose adhesive, Dotto Adhesive, Sticky Strip, Snail, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals, adhesive eraser & regular eraser. Of course I always have my table-top paper cutter and paper trimmer with scoring blade at hand.
That’s it in a nutshell – that’s how I organize my studio, handle my papercrafting time & run my classes. I hope you all enjoyed the tour!
ETA (July 23): Thank you for all your kind comments about my studio. I know that I definitely am very blessed to own such a studio. For those of you that look at your own space though and wish it were bigger I do want to encourage you that dreams do come true. When I signed up as a demonstrator just over 5 years ago we lived in a much smaller house and my “studio” was a corner of my bedroom – I had a 2″ x 4″ table and one of those tall sets of plastic drawers in which I stored my stuff. I kept my CS in a plastic file box under the table and I had a little caddy on top of the table to hold my essentials. When I outgrew my plastic drawers I took over part of my linen closet and part of my bedroom closet. I used to hold my classes in my dining room and could only fit 4 people around my dining room table (it was really small *lol*). Now, 5 years later, with lots of hard work, we are where we are in large part because of my Stampin’ Up! business and my online business. So keep on dreaming!
Below I’ve included some of the questions you’ve been asking – if I get more questions I’ll keep adding the question and answers here:
Q. I’m curious did you get it all done at once or was it a step by step, little by little with a vision in mind?
A. It was done a little at a time over the last 8 months. I had a general idea of how I wanted the room to look and started picking up things here and there.
Q. I have a question, do you have covers for the paper stands stands since fluorescent light fades paper over time?
A. Much to my chagrin, I actually did not realize that fluorescent light fades paper until I discovered it recently the hard way. I have set my paper racks back a bit – there is a bit of a bulkhead overtop of the them but I’m currently looking into ways that I might be able to cover the papers. I haven’t quite figured that out yet as it didn’t factor into my planning *lol*
Q. Can you possibly let me know how you made your ribbon rack? I sure could use one of those.
A. We purchased unfinished peg board that is about 1/4″ thick and was 48″ x 48″. We had it cut down to 35″ x 48″. I then purchased three pine pieces that were 3/4″ x 1 1/2″ and 48″ high. We measured out where we wanted the hooks to be and then drilled pilot holes. We then screwed the pine pieces onto the peg board from the back side of the peg board. Once that was done we screwed the hooks (they were about 2 1/2″ long) into the pine pieces. We used 1/4″ dowel and cut it to size. The right side of the peg board we were lucky enough to be able to screw into a stud. The left side we used wall anchors to mount it.

Thanks for the tour of your studio. It looks like a wonderful space that would inspire creativity! Love the card display unit!
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:16 pm
In my dreams. I have everything you have stuffed in an 11 x 12 bedroom. LOL It sure would be nice to be so organized and have such great space. I hold my classes in my dining room and kitchen. Wow, to have everyone working in one room would be nice.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Gorgeous! Beautiful! So thoughtfully organized!!! I love it! Thank you for sharing your space and talents with us.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:21 pm
That’s stamper’s heaven!!! Wow, I am totally blown away by your fabulous studio! Thank you for sharing!
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:21 pm
I always wondered how your workspace looked. This is what my area will look like when it grows up. I didn’t know Home Depot carries the slat walls…. DH, will you purchase for me? Thank you for sharing.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:22 pm
What a beautiful space! Thanks for sharing your studio with all of us.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Beautiful space!! Thanks for sharing. I have to clean the drool off my keyboard now. lol
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:30 pm
AWESOME!!! It’s beautiful Andrea. Thanks for sharing. I’m sure it’s what we all wish for, at least I’d sure love it.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Hi Andrea,
Have I died and gone to Heaven?….What an incredible studio! Maybe if I win the Lotto 649 I can one day have something similar. No wonder you can be so creative and make up such wonderful projects…..you have room to create and grow. It is absolutely exquisite! YOU GO GIRL! Thanks for all you do for us!
ps After visiting your blog last week, I ended up ordering a WorkBox from The Original Scrapbox site….I Love It!
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:34 pm
I am in awe. Just speachless. One day….
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Andrea
OMGosh…..what I would do to have a Stamping Place like yours….It is awesome and SOOOOOOOOOOOOO organized, neat, roomy, and very well lit…Thanks for sharing!
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:39 pm
OMG! Your room is beautiful! It looks like a store…everything is so neat and organized and in its special place. Very very nice! Thank you so much for sharing a peek in your life.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:45 pm
I just LOVE your room! I wish mine looked like that, maybe over time it will. Thanks for sharing it with us! You’re a true inspiration.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:50 pm
I’m envious….what a gorgeous workspace
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:56 pm
WOW…what an amazing studio!!! Thank you for sharing. It is always inspiring to see how other demos organize their “toys”.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:57 pm
I love your workspace! I am so envious because you are so organized; one of my downfalls
Although I am in the process of organizing my space now. Can you possibly let me know how you made your ribbon rack? I sure could use one of those. Thanks for the tour.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Wow Andrea! What an amazing spot!
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Your stampin studio is BEAUTIFUL! I could surely work there! LOL
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Absolutely beautiful space. Well deserved by such a creative and talented person! Thank you for sharing and making me completely jealous!!
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Andrea, you are an inspiration to others. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space and I am sure that everyone that comes in is blessed by you.
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:15 pm
WOW! What a truly impressive room. Hard to believe a basement could look so awesome!! TFS!!
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:22 pm
What a dream!!! It is so organised. I would love to have half that space! TFS.
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:24 pm
Wow what an awesome space! It is just beautiful. When you take classes do you sit at the end of the table & demonstrate from there or do you demo from the middle. I suppose you have given cutomers a handout on how to complete the class so do you just walk around & help them out? I am really curious how you run that part of your classes.
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:27 pm
WOW – now that is my idea of a stamping room! It was great that you were able to start from scratch -that way you were able to make it exactly the way you want it! It actually looks like a shop!!
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:42 pm
so jealous!! What an amazing space!
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:47 pm
Andrea.. thank you for taking the time to take all the pictures and for typing up this wonderful tour of your craft room. It looks wonderful.

July 22nd, 2009 at 6:57 pm
You are one lucky gal to have a “dream” room. I will trade you my 8×6 room. Congratulations
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:03 pm
Your studio is AMAZING! There is no other word that comes to mind. I only dream of a space like that. I have a long way to go to get to where you are with your business. I have been a demonstrator for only 4 months. It’s definitely a work in progress. What a lovely space to spend time in!
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:05 pm
That was just the most awesome stamp/craft studio/classroom! It is just amazing!
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Thank you for sharing your space. Its gorgeous!
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:08 pm
What a lovely work space, which you have every right to be very proud of. Something I have noticed from all the classes that I have taken is that the demonstrators have a tendency to be very organized and you are no exception. I could do some terrific dreaming in that room.
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:09 pm
You have quite an awesome space! Then again, you have a thriving business and need the space
I’m just a hobby demo wishing I could do more, but don’t have the time LOL You would die if you saw my scrapbook/stamp room! It is a good size, but it looks like a hurricane, tornado, and earthquake went through all at the same time! I don’t like how my room is set up so I don’t want to be in there. I know that sounds crazy, but it is what it is I guess 
Thanks for sharing your space and all the details!
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:13 pm
WOW – I am so jealous. What a gorgeous space you have. No wonder you create such great projects!! Thanks for sharing….
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Es preciosa tu area de trabajo. Bien comoda y organizada. Me encata.
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:18 pm
What an incredible room! I am soooo jealous! You are so organized and it is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
WOW Andrea. What an awesome stamping studio. I love the small kitchen. I have to run upstairs to get my tea or diet soda. Oh well, we must get our exercise somehow. LOL Thanks for sharing with us. You really have yourself organized. I know your customers just l-o-v-e coming to your classes. Trish
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Wonderful studio Andrea!
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Oh wow!!! How would you feel about me and my 3 kids coming to live with you? We would clean up after ourselves!!
Being that my husband is in the military, there is not any possibility that I’ll ever have a space like that. I wish I could. It looks FABULOUS!! It probably doesn’t hurt your business to be able to offer it to your customers, either. Mine have to cram around the kitchen table and another that gets set up in my kids’ play room and I have to bring out all the items we’ll be using. I’m so jealous!!! It’s so nice and organized. How wonderful!!!
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Ohhh. I imagine everyone of your customers recommends you as a demo. Who wouldn’t want to stamp in such a beautiful space? I know I would. It’s wonderful your husband did a great job. Congrats.
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:54 pm
Wow, now that’s what you call a tax-deductible home office!
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:02 pm
Congratulations on your wonderful new workspace. It is absolutely beautiful and looks like such a great place to be and create. I wish your were on the west side of Canada so I could come and play at your house! Thank you for sharing your pictures.

July 22nd, 2009 at 8:02 pm
wow! I love the organization and accessibility. I’m super impressed and happy for you.
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:04 pm
I want a basement!!! Living in Florida — no basement here — just a water table that’s too high for that. I’m in awe and envious. Congrats on such a beautiful creative space. Thanks for ALL you share!
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:08 pm
How beautiful and inspiring! Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your creative space.
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:20 pm

July 22nd, 2009 at 8:48 pm
WOW…I am drooling over all your wonderful work space!! How fun to have so much room to play!! Thanks for sharing a part of your world with all of us.
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:56 pm
I made my husband sit here and take the tour of your work space with me…I’m trying to convince him that the one Ikea shelf I have is NOTHING…and that I need more room! Thanks for sharing!!
July 22nd, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Please, please, puh-leease adopt me! But seriously you have a beautiful space. And if you want to consider the adoption…..
July 22nd, 2009 at 9:33 pm
My first words were “Holy Cow!” Thanks so much for sharing. What an inspiration!
July 22nd, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Andrea….this is so totally AWESOME!!! I am getting ready to build a new home and this will be the inspiration for my stamp studio. Thank you so much for the tour!
July 22nd, 2009 at 9:57 pm
I would love to have a space like this someday! It looks great!
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Wow! Congratulations, and of course I’m jealous, but good for you — every girl deserves a play room.
I’ll work up to mine someday. lol
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:26 pm
WOW, what a fantastic space. This is just AWESOME! If I ever come to Canada I would love a first hand tour. I’m about to get my own space when we move in around 6 weeks, it’s not nearly as big as this but you’ve given me some fantastic ideas & inspiration.
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Beautiful, congratulations! I’m glad we’re far away, otherwise, I would be stamping tomorrow with you
Have a nice day.
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Holy Cow!!! How lucky are you to have such a wonderful place to craft! It is a beautiful place!
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:05 pm
This room is heaven on earth; who wouldn’t like this space it is so spectacular. You are one fortunate lady Andrea. Love it!!!
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:16 pm
wow awesome . what a beautiful place to stamp. I hope to visit it sometime when I am out in Ontario,COngrats on such a wonderful design. Thanks for sharing. I love it as must you.Enjoy!!

July 22nd, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Wow…good for you…thanks for sharing. I have just renovated my basement as well, but I only get a portion of the family room for my craft area and the other portion is for my big screen TV. At least for now, maybe at some point I will take over the downstairs guest room, but for now a part of the family room will probably be enough, and that way I can have the big screen on while I am working on cards too…lol. Not that I will end up watching much since we all know how enthralled we get when doing our crafts. Enjoy your wonderful space.
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Wow, I loved the tour! I wonder how many hours it would take to drive there, I would love to attend one of your classes.
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:37 pm
Love your studio! I wish I had the space for that. I’ll just have to wait until all of the kids grow up and move out!
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:01 am
My sister and I absolutely LOVE your studio. How lucky you are to have a beautiful place in which to work and play. Everything has a place and everything is in its place. Lots of thought and planning went into this…..thank you for sharing!!

All I can say is WOW!!! I have been waiting patiently for when you would post pictures of your studio, as I have been following your blog since before you did your renos in your new home. But I would like to thank you for all the details you have added about your storage, we all like to know what other people actually put in all those cute storage boxes! Your area is beautiful and so organized, it’s no wonder you are as successful as you are! If I lived in your area, I would love to attend classes in your studio, but since I am in BC, I will be content to enjoy your blog!
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:47 am
I am in awe! Lucky, lucky you!
July 23rd, 2009 at 1:23 am
Oh my gosh!!! That is AMAZING! You are one lucky girl. I am very jealous. I have my kitchen table and my supplies are spread willy nilly around the dining room and in the cupboard under the stairs!
July 23rd, 2009 at 1:40 am
Thank you for letting us into your Craft Lair – it is GORGEOUS! Very inspirational.
July 23rd, 2009 at 2:18 am
Gorgeous, Andrea! Now let’s see what it looks like AFTER you’ve just finished designing one of your wonderful classes…;)
Brandi
July 23rd, 2009 at 2:47 am
WOW! Thanks for sharing Andrea. It is amazing! It must work really well for you to have so much space to grow. Having that small kitchen must be really handy. Everything is gorgeous.
July 23rd, 2009 at 3:20 am
Can I move in to your craft room?!?!?
July 23rd, 2009 at 3:41 am
WOW!!!! How awesome………….
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:46 am
*squeeeee!!!* That is the most amazing ‘retreat’ I have EVER seen!! I am also very excited as even though I am in VERY humble beginning stages (lol) I am starting my hub with the Ikea cubes and the clip on table! Woohooooo! LOL!! Oh my goodness!! LOVE IT! You’ve thought of everything!! How did you do it? I ADORE that everything has a place!! My DREAM!! LOL!
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:53 am
That is soooo beautiful. I am really jealous. The colors, the shelves, all of it. I love it.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:13 am
I simply love your crafting room! GORGEOUS! It makes one envious. Thank you so much for the tour. I do so appreciate it. And the kitchen, Great Idea! Words cannot express “What a Stamping Studio!!!!”
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:15 am
… I’m not normally the jealous type, but after seeing what a beautiful job you did with your basement … I AM GREEEEEEEEN! WOW! Gotta say that every drop of sweat was definitely worth the outcome! Your studio and all the projects you are so generous to share with the online community are wonderfully inspiring and always make me smile! A HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE MAHALO (“thank you” in Hawaiian)!!!!! Keep up the wonderful work you do!
July 23rd, 2009 at 6:24 am
I love your studio! A little piece of heaven
July 23rd, 2009 at 6:33 am
Oh Andrea! I am so jealous. It is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on having such a great room to work and be creative in.
July 23rd, 2009 at 6:52 am
It is a most awesome place to go! I always get inspired when I’m in there! You did a great job in organizing! Now…I need to take some lessons from you and get crackin on my room!
July 23rd, 2009 at 6:53 am
Beautiful space. I’m curious, did you get it all done at once or was it a step by step, little by little with a vision in mind?
July 23rd, 2009 at 6:53 am
What a beautiful space you have! It’s obvious that you put a lot of thought into how you wanted things and it totally paid off. Thanks for sharing it with us!
July 23rd, 2009 at 6:54 am
Andrea,
I too would like to move in. I cook and clean up after myself. So happy that you have a wonderful space to keep inspiring us all.
July 23rd, 2009 at 6:59 am
What a dream space! It is lovely and I can tell you put a lot of thought into planning it. I am all for whatever keeps your creative juices flowing so you can keep ideas coming! Enjoy!
July 23rd, 2009 at 7:03 am
Fantastic space. It’s easy to see why you can create such beautiful projects.
July 23rd, 2009 at 7:32 am
What a beautiful workspace Andrea! Your hard work is definitely paying off! You are so well organized, I wish I could be more like that!
July 23rd, 2009 at 7:42 am
Thanks for sharing your studio! I love it! my husband share a bedroom that we converted into an office (not very big) and I plan on taking the spare room and turn that into my craft area, but would love to have a huge space like yours, I also do my classes in my dining room!
Thanks for the inspiration!
July 23rd, 2009 at 7:44 am
My studio is in the basement too but it looks nothing like yours! You have given me lots of ideas.
July 23rd, 2009 at 7:53 am
Awesome awesome stamp room…well thought out and organized. I have a question, do you have covers for the paper stands stands since fluorescent light fades paper over time. This is truly a dream stamping studio. Job well done! I have a similar space to decorate in my basement in the near future although I am sure it won’t compare to this one.
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:00 am
What a marvelous studio! I don’t have near the space you do; however, there are several organizational ideas I can use in the romm I do have. Thanks for sharing. jmniffer
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:00 am
What a beautiful studio and I love that you gave us the places to find some of the items! And a ton of ideas for organizing too! Thanks so much!
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:12 am
What a fantastic studio! It’s great!!! I love how you have *room to grow* in places. The slipper idea is so great for cold feet in the winter!
Thanks for showing us!
Ruth
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:14 am
WOW!!
Andrea, your studio is absolutely BEAUTIFUL !!
Clean, organized, very impressive & well deserved.
Thanks for the tour.
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:18 am
Andrea,
You lucky gal!! What a beautiful and inspiring studio. I would surely be inspired if I had a room like that. All the best in your new space.
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:19 am
Holy Cow! I have stampers’ envy!!! ;o) What a beautiful workspace.
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:25 am
Andrea, thank you so much for taking us on a tour of your stamping room. I would able to get some ideas for mine (WAY much smaller) to make it more efficient.
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:29 am
WOW! Just WOW!
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:34 am
Your studio is amazing, Andrea! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:41 am
Great planning Andrea. So much space and light and completely organized. Hope to have something that nice myself, someday.
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:46 am
All I can say is WOW!!! That is such an awesome space and I cannot wait to see what amazing projects evolve out of such a room.
Thanks for sharing and giving us all ideas and/or dreams of our own.
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:50 am
What a great room. Your hard work has paid off for sure. Thanks for inspiring the rest of us.
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:03 am
What a great space! My husband and I are planning on converting a part of our formal living room into my stamp office. Not nearly as big as your space, but as a hobby demonstrator, I don’t need too much space. I have been looking for more storage ideas and, if you don’t mind, will probably borrow some of yours. I like that you used boxes to store things. It makes it more visually appealing and not just storage. Thanks soo much for sharing and letting us into your world.
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:06 am
WOW WOW WOW is all I can say, what an awesome stamp room, you are so very luckily. The rest of us can only dream and you have it all. Great job. TFS Hugs n’ Stuff, Lynne
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:06 am
What a beautiful studio! I just spent 20 minutes looking and reading. What a great space to be inspired! Thank you for the tour.
Sandy
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:17 am
Thank you for sharing your room, it is awesome! I really love the slat walls. I’m going to have to look into those. My room isn’t nearly as big as yours and I doubt I’ll ever have one that big in; Houston we don’t have basements. I am lucky that I have a spare room, I’m currently in the middle of painting and will be reorganizing soon.
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:20 am
You’ve done a fabulous job creating a dream space! I’m so glad you shared it. I can incorporate lots of your ideas in my basement studio AND it gives me a goal to aspire to. Thank you for sharing the fruits of your hard work with us!
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:23 am
OMG…Andrea….this is wonderful!! I cannot express in so many words how nice this looks and so organized!!! I just spent time looking and reading everything on the studio. Thanks so much for the inspiration and all the hard work it took to put this together. I love your work and I continue to check out your website everyday so see what new work you’re come up with next!! Love everyting!!! lol
I’m also a big fan of Ikea…now I know what I can with my next visit there!! Thanks again!!
Hugs,
Kelly
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:24 am
I love your new stamping room! It’s beautiful! We are just getting ready to move, and I finally get a place for my stuff in our new basement, too. Right now, I’ve got stuff stored in half of our linen closet and on one end of our one-car garage. Not much room! My classes are held in the garage with only one table. Sounds a little like how you started. You gave me some great ideas on what to do with my new space. I’ve got two rooms to work with. One for my office and one for my classes. I can’t wait to use some of your ideas. Thanks for the inspiration!
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:33 am
Thanks for sharing your studio with us. It’s fabulous and so neat and tidy! You’ve given me a few ideas to “spruce” up my stamping area! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas you have shared with us.
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:41 am
How absolutelty wonderful! You are a blessed woman! Who doesn’t want to come there and take classes! Congratulations~~~
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:46 am
Thanks for giving us that tour of your studio. It is so amazing!! I hope it will inspire me to get my things organized. My space is not as roomy as yours, but I’ll try to make it work.
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:46 am
Congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment. Your space is beautiful, obviously you spent a lot of time planning and preparing for this. It is so nicely laid out. I am so happy for you, I know you will bless so many with your hospitality!
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:58 am
Wow, I love it! It’s so organized. I wish I had the space to make such a beautiful craft room. Thanks for sharing.
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:03 am
Andrea: Absolutely an amazing studio. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:28 am
OMG!!! This is a room to die for!!! Congratulations on a spectacular job!! I wish I had a 1/4 of that room and supplies. Obviously, you work very hard at your business and it shows.
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:28 am
Wow! this is beautiful!
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:34 am
WOW!!!! What a wonderful room! Thank you so much for sharing this tour. It looks like I am just going to have to make a trip to IKEA which is 3 hours away to spruce up my room.
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:35 am
Pardon me while I pick my jaw up off the floor…WOW!!!! Thanks for sharing photos of your dream studio!
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:36 am
WOWZER!!!!! What an amazing space. I love everything you’ve done. Congratulations.
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:40 am
Holy cow!!!! I am soooo jealous of your stamping studio. I will keep dreaming of the day when I will be able to do something like that!
July 23rd, 2009 at 11:33 am
What a wonderful tour! Thank you so much for sharing what you selected and where you got it and providing insight into what you chose. It certainly looks like a very creative outlet and I am sure you and your customers fully enjoy it. Congratulations – your hard work has certainly been worth it.
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:15 pm
WOW!!! That is the most BEAUTIFUL stamping studio I have ever seen!!!!! Thank you for sharing and for maybe future “inspiration” tee hee, oh how I wish!!!! Cheers!
July 23rd, 2009 at 1:13 pm
I am so in awe. This is a fabulous space and so perfectly planned.
July 23rd, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Wow. Wow. What a space! I dream about a stamp studio of my own one day, very similar to what you have here – I’m definitely going to bookmark this post for the day when we have the space!
July 23rd, 2009 at 1:58 pm
WOW! Love your studio!!! Congratulations, you definitaly deserve it!!! Thank you for all the great storage ideas!!!
Christine
July 23rd, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Speachless!!! Here’s to dreaming! Thanks for all the sharing you do with your business – you give me something it aspire to.
Keep it up!
July 23rd, 2009 at 2:54 pm
I am blown away. This is so gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I think it is super neat. and you deserve it. You are so good to all of us.

July 23rd, 2009 at 3:42 pm

July 23rd, 2009 at 4:01 pm

Thanks so much for sharing!! it gives me hope as well
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:11 pm
WOW!!! Thanks for sharing your studio with us. Makes you think that anything is possible with Stampin’ Up! Now I need to just get my butt off the computer and get to those follow up calls!
Thanks again
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:39 pm
I love your stamping studio! Thanks for sharing it and helping me dream!!
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your pictures and descriptions. I just moved and have a room over the garage to convert into my own space. I can’t wait!
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:45 pm
Wonderful studio! We’d love to see the Decor elements you end up putting in the kitchen area.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Wow, Andrea, this is my dream to have a studio like yours. It’s awesome and I wish I could attend your classes. Sadly, I live far from your place…one of these days, I could be one of your attendees LOL.
Anyway, thanks for sharing.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:39 pm
Wow, this is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing! You have really thought about this and you’ve left nothing out!! I bet your customers will never want to leave!!
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:51 pm
WOW! Now I know I live in the WRONG city! Why aren’t you soooooo much closer to me Andrea? LOL What a super fantastic room to escape from the world and craft away the hours of the day while the younguns are near and everyone is happy to do their own thing. Wow! So impressed with your space. Love it!
July 23rd, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Andrea! I love your studio and it would certainly be a dream come true for me!
Now that the children have grown up and left home I’m using one of their bedrooms for my “studio” but it’s very small.
Someday I hope to move and turn a basement into a studio.
I’ll be back to visit your space when we get ready to transform a boring basement into my dream studio!
Congratulations on such a beautiful space!
July 23rd, 2009 at 6:23 pm
Thank you for sharing. It is beautiful. You have given me some great ideas.
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Great tour. What an awesome space. I’d love that much room!
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Stunning room! Thanks for sharing all of the details!
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I signed on to be a SU demo on July 15. My kit came today. My upline and every other demo I talked to said to put a picture up of what I would like to have as inspiration to push myself to a more successful business. Well, I am printing the pictures of your space! It is so beautiful! I was going to print a picture of the cruise ship, but I want a space that is neatly organized just like yours. Oh, do I covet…
TFS!
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Wow! Thanks for showing us your stamping studio. I wish I had one as beautiful and spacious as yours. I have a very small corner of our loft, and the rest is all kid’s toys:( I guess I could only dream for a bigger house:)
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:29 pm
I would love to come and play! What a fabulous space!
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Thank you so much for including where you purchased some of these items as well as what you’re using them for. For example, I was wondering what to use the jars for, and also wondered where you’d put your CS scraps. You answered, always, in the very next sentence. Amazing room and I wish I was there to put some slippers on!! TFS!!
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:33 pm
What an amazing space! Thanks so much for sharing and for encouraging us that dreams really do come true.
July 23rd, 2009 at 11:41 pm
Wow! Thank you for opening up your studio! I am truly blown away by your organization and your fab ideas. It is a great dream to have!
July 24th, 2009 at 8:47 am
WOW!! What a great looking room. We are currently finishing our basement for my stamproom/toy room. It will not be to the same scale but you have giving me some great ideas. IKEA here I come…
July 24th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
This is unbelievable, Andrea! I’m really happy for you. Hard word pays off!
Enjoy your beautiful space and thanks for sharing it with us. Lots of good ideas in there

July 24th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Your stamping space looks great! Everything is organized and so well thought out as to placement. I’m sure your customers are inspired whenever they come over. I fully believe that you appreciate your space MORE because you started with just a small corner of your bedroom and eventually were able to create this space. When we work, dream, and plan (and save) for something, I think it’s much more enjoyable when it comes true than if you just had it all from the start. I hope you are blessed with many successful years in your business and that you soon even outgrow this room!
July 24th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
Thanks for posting pictures of the stunning Sunny Stamping Studio. That was completely absorbing and I absolutely loved it. You’re very organized and I’m wondering if it looks like this all the time. Love your color choice on the walls, and I’m also wondering if that is hardwood on the floor or laminate? Do you have any rolling chairs there, and if so, how well does the floor do with the chairs?
July 24th, 2009 at 11:35 pm

July 25th, 2009 at 1:03 am
Wowzers!!!!! That is amazing! You truly are blessed with a wonderful space in which to work. I could be envious of this, but I know that I’d never be able to keep that whole space clean, LOL! Enjoy and congratulations!
July 25th, 2009 at 8:55 am
That is a great room. Quite inspiring, and full of great ideas to implement in my house, not only around my craft but for other things too. Thanks for sharing.
Anamaria
July 25th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Wow, I am in heaven:-) I would be envious, however, you are such a special person that all I felt when I saw this post was happiness that you have such a beautiful place to create in.
July 25th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
wow! this is amazing… thanks so much for sharing! I love the way you used the smaller Ikea cube shelves on their side and then use the top for your Big Shot/Circle Cutter. I’m going to Ikea next week, and I think I’ll be getting one to do the same.
July 25th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Thanks so much for sharing all the details of your GORGEOUS space, Andrea. You really did make your dream come true with a place for everything and plenty of space left over for customers. Congrats!
July 26th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Just gorgeous! May I live there please???
July 26th, 2009 at 1:22 pm

You have an amazing craft room. Love the organization. Thanks for sharing.

Can I move in with you??????
July 27th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
AMAAZZZING!! I am sooo happy for you!! right now I am running my business out of a very very small office space, hence my site name: vals Craft Corner!
hopefully I can be as succuessful as you have been as a demonstrator and move on to a larger scale like you have.
Absolutely stunning!
July 27th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
You planned your area out so well—it’s just beautiful. How fun it would be to come and stamp with you and make one of your or Sophia’s gorgeous projects!
July 28th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
It’s an absolutely gorgeous space. Now I have “studio envy!”
July 28th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Oh my goodness!!!! This is an amazing space!!!! So organized and pleasing to look at. You deserve every bit of it. I agree with Kim, I also have “studio envy”.
July 28th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
WOW Andrea! Thanks for sharing your crafting space with us! I love the display space, and the ability to seat so many friends/customers/guests around the tables!!
July 29th, 2009 at 8:18 am
Wow Andrea that is an amazing studio! I am in awe… so nice and organized… I love it! I am very happy for you! What a great renovation!
July 29th, 2009 at 10:34 am
What a gorgeous room!
July 29th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
I found the rack for the cards for sale, I’m not sure if it is the same you have but, I think it will work. The company name is Displays to Go, and the web address is:
http://www.displays2go.com/Card_holders.htm
Thanks for sharing your pictures your studio is awesome and so well organized, mine is not as big, and of course not as well organized LOL
Chris
July 29th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
Wow, Andrea! My jaw is on the ground in awe of your studio – it is absolutely beautiful. Can I live in your studio?
You’ve inspired me to organize my little stamp room.
July 30th, 2009 at 11:47 am
WOW! and congrats on your new studio! I’m in the middle of re-organizing my craft section in our basement and will definitely use some of your ideas. Fab-u-lous!!
July 31st, 2009 at 6:29 pm
OMG Andrea … what an awesome studio. Now if only I can be as organized as you are. So jealous! Again, you always say that dreams come true, just keep wishing.
:0) Smiles, E
August 1st, 2009 at 11:07 am
I realy like the layout of your work shop. Try using FLAT BED SHEETS TO COVER YOUR PAPER. I got four paper racks from a shop that was moving across town, they stack so I will have 2 rows and plan to use the bed sheets. They can be washed easy and are great dust cathers. I also love your art work (cards).
Sharon
August 2nd, 2009 at 9:14 am
OMG is that heaven or what?!. That looks fantastic! I plan on doing over our garage apartment & can only hope it turn out as good. Mine is much smaller but you have to start somewhere.
This looks Super ~ way to go!
Congratulations on this work of art!

Andrea-As usual you have gotten me pumped up about my business! I love your Stamp Space……I, too, am lucky like you and have a really nice spacious space and it does make a difference for running your S.U. Business. Thank you for sharing your awesome space with us. You are one tallented lady, thank you for always sharing your ideas with us!!!!!
August 12th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
Ummm….I’m speechless at this point! I pretty much shouted out with every scroll of the mouse exposing pic after pic of pure stamping heaven:)
Thanks for sharing. You do have a wonderful working environment.
August 13th, 2009 at 4:15 am
OMG i am speechless. Your room is so beautiful!
Greetings from Germany

August 24th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Andrea,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful room. How do you keep it so clean and organized?? Lol. Mine’s a mess.
I’m remodeling my room as we speak, so I appreciate being able to see how you have set it up since I take up 2 rooms in my home with crafts. Yikes!
Take care. Hope to meet you in person someday!
November 13th, 2009 at 1:16 am
Wow Wow Wow!!! Incredible room! I love how you`ve organized it and the little kitchen. I also just discovered your blog and am lovin`it. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring!
November 24th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Hi Andrea,
I’ve not had chance to read all 188 comments, but in case you’re still looking to stop uv fading look to the glazing and museums sectors. I know in the UK you can get UV plastic film for windows, so imagine, that you would be able to find a product which you could wrap around your light source – just watch for overheating….
January 11th, 2010 at 3:53 pm
I love your craft room. It a crafter’s dream. Am just new and just joined in Nov09 but I now have a goal. It could take me years to get there but am sure I’ll inch my way into somehow ornising my very own ideal craft haven.
Thanks for sharing. And more power to you from Wollongong in Australia.
January 12th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Can I say, studio ENVY!!! I’m currently revamping my room so I really appreciated your share and inspirational studio. Thank you.
February 10th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
Wow!! This must be the greatest studio I have ever seen. Think I’ll close my eyes and pretend it is my room. No it is really great.
April 1st, 2010 at 10:49 pm
Dear Andrea,
I really liked your studio
I am actually organizing my own. It is not as big as yours but is a whole room for my own stamping use. he,he. I still have some things here and there, once I finished it, I will take a picture and send it to you, maybe you can give me decor ideas too 
.
Thank You so much for sharing and Congratulations!Happy Stamping!
June 1st, 2010 at 9:46 pm
Every detail is wonderful. You can see the thought and time put into your studio. Wish you were my neighbor~
June 8th, 2010 at 1:18 pm
Andrea,
This is amazing! I love it- I wish I lived closer so I could see it in person. I will keep dreaming to have one some day!
June 24th, 2010 at 11:37 pm
WWWOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!! Love it.

Wow just beautiful. My basement is a work in progress… going on two years now. Some day… a girl can dream.

You are so lucky! That space is absolutely beautiful. I still hold my workshops in my dining room, 2 1/2 years into my Stampin Up business. UI also do have a room with all of my supplies, but it is too small to hold my workshops in. My husband is in the process of finishing the room above our garage and it will enable me to have my classes out there. The room will double as a family game room, so it won’t be quite at the level that yours is, but still a new space separate from the house. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I will be using some of them in my current space!
