How much room do YOU have?

As I have been poking through the site I have come to realize that alot of you guys have atleast a corner or a entire room to scrap book in. Me being curious by nature I thought I would ask on here to see if that is really common or if I am not alone on having one small set of drawers and a coffee table in the living room that I have to clean off when I want to work (apartment living with another couple... really limited on space)

So my question is! How much room do you have to scrap in?

I stole the dining room,,,I mean, afterall, how often and how long do we EAT compared to how often and how long do I SCRAPBOOK!!!!!!

On a serious note, several times a year, I have to convert my scraproom BACK to a dining room,,,,since we have two faiths represented, that's OFTEN two holidays several times a year, although sometimes they do cross, but not always.

ugh. I am gonna kick one of my kids out into the snow (er,,,,,snow in florida???) to have my own room soon!

Currently - a little space in my laundry room with a table and cabinet next to it that has two shelves dedicated to scrap supplies.

Future - the spare bedroom will be MINE!

I share a room with my children. So, it's a play/craft room. I scrap on a small table, however I got the whole (not so big) closet for my stash
I still dream to have my own scraproom.

I don't have that much room to scrapbook in either. We live in a 2 bedroom apartment (and don't have kids) but the "extra room" has our dressers and the kitty litter boxes in there. I store my scrapbook stuff in that room but don't really want to sit next to ode de kitty while scrapping. So I work at the dining room table.

Right now my scrap area is a 3.5' by 11.5' closet. It is a decent space, but now (because of my excessive shopping), it is really cramped in here now...so I am thinking of moving in the basement or kicking my DH out of his man room....I need the room!!

I am sooooo very lucky and blessed. I have a space upstairs that is actually 2 small rooms that have an open doorway inbetween. When we finished the upstairs it was meant to be an office and playroom. But we turned the dining room into the office since we had an eat in kitchen...and the kids NEVER went up there to play they always did it in their bedrooms. Sooooo...I confiscated the whole space.

I converted an underused, junk collecting spot at the bottom of the basement stairs - it is about 11 feet by 12 feet. Not huge or fancy but my idea of heaven.

I live in a 3-bedroom townhouse and my mom lives with me. So I have the third bedroom -- about 10x12. Half of it's given over to double-deep bookshelves -- we created a library with our hundreds of books. The other half and the 6-foot closet is my scrap/craft area. There's a table in the middle of the floor for me to scrap/craft/wrap on. Mother doesn't like it much, but I use that area for bill paying and gift wrapping, too.

I have a room. It's 11 by 13. But it's not just my scrap space. It's also my sewing room, my painting room, my sons craft room, and random storage room. My scrap space it about a third of it.

Oh girl, you are going to need something way bigger, the way you been pumping up the economy!!!

Since all of the kids are grown and gone, I have converted the larger bedroom upstairs into my scrapbooking/craft room. I love having my own space! The smaller bedroom is our storage room.

My scraproom is what was meant to be the office, which we would never need, so its mine, all mine! Maybe 10'x12' ?? all I know is its not nearly big enough!!

My storage space is two TV armoirs. My workspace is where ever I can find space, sometimes the kitchen table other times I sit a piece of foam core board on a 10 gallon rubber maid bin and sit on the floor at my make-shift table with my supplies scattered on the floor around me.

I have a scrapping corner in our family room ... an Expedit desk with shelves and a rolling cart and can fit ALOT of stuff in there. I have no desire to move into a room (even if there was a room for me to have), because I like being where the family is.

I am truly blessed as well. My DH built me a 12' x 10' scrapbook room last year full of windows so there is a lot of natural light. It took 13 years of scrappin before my dh got tired of my stuff laying around so that is what prompted my own space.

I'm fortunate to live in a very large house that has a family room, large loft, formal living room; etc. We (3 of us) certainly don't need three living areas, so I converted the formal living room to my scrap space. I love having all that room, and I can easily fit another 5-6 scrappers in there with me when I host crops.

I'm real lucky, My Husband wanted me to have a room of my own. I have a 8'x12' room. I started out with a part of the dinning room.

I'll tell you for ages that was me - bring everything out on the coffee table and work for a bit and then put it away. Then I moved to the dining room table because it was tall and I could stand at it. When we moved I was lucky enough that there was a whole basement that wasn't being used with a work bench. My DH is not handy by any means - that is me, so I took over the bench, added some storage and some more lighting and I had my very own space

I started with a small corner in the living room. when we moved we had an odd family room so I used that but you had to walk through it to get to the kids bedrooms and bath. Now we have moved again and I have a whole room complete with a door. I love having my own room.

I have my own room - dh builds houses so we converted the basement and I have a section all to myself, with a door! Love it.

I have a 7 foot wall in my bedroom that is all mine. I would say I have 3 feet out from that wall so I custom made a desk to fit it (super cheap desk, I don't care what it looks like, I only care what I can create on it!)

I'm really lucky I have that bonus room over the garage that was a playroom. The children never used it -- so I kicked them to the curb. It's a large space -- that I'm filling up rapidly.

My husband built me a space when we redid our rec room (previous homeowners had converted the two car garage into the rec room) It is 6X9 with an L shaped countertop. It's on the small side and would love to have more space so that the kids could come in and do their craft projects with me, but for what I need... I love my spot!!

I have a 10x15 room that I use for scrapping and then I have a 5x5 alcove that I also use.

10x11 bedroom converted to a scrap/craft room, but it has a twin bed too. Also have another room, same size as an office/photo/computer room. Planning on moving the bed to the office and the computer to the scrap room which will free up wall space for shelving to house computer supplies, printer, books as well as more scrappy goodness. Will do a laptop setup with printer in the office - will be better for my work.

Thankfully, I have a 3 bedroom house - master, guest and scrapbook room.

Last year I had new carpet put in and when I started putting everything back the old guest room became the new scrapbook room because it was just a tiny bit bigger.

Had the new scrapbook room not been on the front of the house (which can be noisy) it may have been the new master, while the old master would have been the new scrapbook. Yes, I have a shopping addiction so always looking for more space.

I used to scrap out of bag and spread it all over the living room but this past year we convereted a guest bedroom into my scrap space!

Right now, I have 0 space. I'm in the process of clearing out some of my husband's junk in the bedroom so I can put up a folding table. I'm going to ask my Mom to make a skirt for it so it looks nice. My computer is on a corner desk in my daughter's playroom. My scrap stuff just keeps getting shuffled around for right now.

Q - How much room do I have?

A - Not much! I need more! For me, my room is sorta like trying to cram an elephant into a peanut jar!

I have a small corner room that I am forever & a day attempting organize. In my dreams, I really need to make a trip to IKEA & start all over. However, that's not going to happen for quite a long while, so for now I am stuck having to make do with what I have.

I have a desk, a cubby, 2 cabinets & 2 bookshelves...And my 24 drawer bins of paper. That's it.

Somehow, in the end, don't ask me how, all but minus the small closet, it somehow seems to work!

Dh gave me 1/4th of the living room being that we live in a one bedroom house. I do need a room to myself with all my stash lol!!!

Right now I am in the dining room. I like having the big table, and there is room for a girlfriend to come over and scrap. We eat in the livingroom in front of the tv (I know! Bad!) so we never use it to eat.

BUT- I can see in the future I will have to change is back into a dining room. Our baby will have her highchair in there (because its a vinyl floor, not carpet) so we will likely start eating in there. So where will I go? We have a 2 bedroom townhouse. There is no room in the bedroom- our bed takes up the whole thing. THe baby's room is tiny and full already. A corner of the livingroom? Its not big either. The shed in the backyard? LOL

I think we have to move!

I have a room. We live in a 4 bedroom house, so DH and I have a bedroom, DS has a bedroom, DH has an office (he used to work from home full-time; now he works from home 1 day a week), and I have a scrap room. My computer and office stuff live out in the open, which is not ideal, but worth it to have a scraproom.

Our house is a Raised bungalow that the basement was a 2 bedroom apartment. We did not like being landlords and did not have to be so we took over the whole place. It`s just DH, me and 4 cats. We have 3 bedrooms upstairs that means we each have an office. Mine is just a small space for my winter office with the litter box as well....but it`s not a place I spend a lot of time.

In the basement, we made one bedroom a guest room, made the storage room our workout room once we fixed it up, made the kitchen livingroom combo a home theater/concession stand and the large bedroom downstairs is all mine. It's about 14 x 16 feet and I am just about to order Expedit shelves from Ikea.....Can't wait for it to be all done.

I have a scrap room, which I love love love......BUT once upon a time I had to have my scrap stuff packed in closet although it sucked to pull out and pack back in I do however find that I spent less $$$$ then as opposed to now. I wonder why haha!! Now I have this giant room and there always seems to be space for more, lol.

In all honesty though it doesn't matter where you scrap or the ammount of room or stuff you have.....if you enjoy it, then thats all that matters. I can't create any better with a whole room than I can from a closet.

I have a 10x12 room but I still bring out stuff and scrap in the living room. It's nice to have a place to put away stuff though.

I have a desk and a cabinet in my guest room (there are photos in my gallery). Trouble is, I'm also a writer, so the desk often is covered with notes and stuff, plus my laptop and printer! The last few pages I did, I took my stuff out to the dining room and worked.

I share with my bedroom but I am single so my bedroom furniture is squished together in one corner and the rest of the room is for scrapping goodness

I have all the room I want in our finished basement. I used to keep everything up in my office, but it got too cluttered between scrapping stuff and schoolwork! So, I've got tons of space, but the trick is that I've got to get organized!

I have been scrapbooking for 12 years. The first 7 years I took over the dining room table when I worked but always had to pick it up when finished. I hated taking it all out for any less than a 3 hour block of time...then I took over corners: in the family room, in the spare bedroom but now I actually have a room to myself. It's a mess right now since I am a Mary Kay consultant and our church music director so it is my room for my three activities. I would love more room to scrap but would have to get rid of the keyboard! So it may not be ideal...but it is my little space of my own.

My wonderful hubby built me an office in the garage for work. My scrap stuff was taking over the living room, so he decided to add on to my office a scrap room!

I have found that I both love and hate it though, I was I was closer to all the house activity, but I do like that I can lock the door and keep little hands out of potentially dangerous things like the heat gun, I rock and diamond dust!

My space is about 5x12, tucked in behind the love seat in one end of the living room. I hvae a "spare room" that gets used once every couple years. I keep thinking it's a waste to not turn it into a scraproom, but as sure as I did, my DD and SIL would come for a visit!

At the moment I have about 1/3 of a bedroom that I've squished a desk and a little storage into- the rest has kid stuff. Since the kids are only here sometimes, I made them share space! But we're moving in two weeks & I'll either take the spare bedroom or the extra living space! So excited!! But shh... I haven't mentioned this to my bf yet! lol

I'm in one of two master b/r walk/in closets. It's 6' x 11' and I do share it with a small amount of clothes pushed to one end. It holds an incredible amount of scrappy goodness as I've utilized darn near every square inch and I love my made for crafting desk and comfy swivel chair. Once I get my paper picked out, used my Cricut (which is located on my dressing table in my M. B/R along with a small sewing machine) and packaged embellies & flowers, then everything is within reach...inks, sticles, stamps, punches, markers, beads, brads, ribbon, hand tools, embossing folders & Cuttlebug, masks and templates....just a swivel away. I could actually take over another bedroom, but this way I'm close to my DH while he watches the tube in bed...otherwise I'd be clear on the other side of the house isolated. This works for us

I have my own room.

Our dining room and living room is one LARGE long room. In between the dining room and the main part of the living room is an area where I have my desk (U shaped) and paper shelves. It's slowly getting crowded on the desk with my computer, printer, Cricut, photo boxes, etc...I could use more room...
There are 3 empty bedrooms upstairs...all 3 dd's are out on their own...but I like it down here where I can scrap and watch TV with dh.. it's "conveniently located" close to the kitchen, great view of the TV... if I converted one of the rooms into a scraproom I'd feel isolated up there all alone...I'll just stay in my little area!

We added an extra bedroom onto our house so I could have a scrap room. Love it.

we have 5 bedrooms, in the basement we have an office, i have a photography studio, playroom, bathroom, and an extra bedroom that is my office/scraproom.

We are in the process of re-doing our basement so I claimed some of the real estate and had him put up some walls and a door. So now I'm in business

I bought a house two years ago, DS has garage room with walk in closet and bath, the rest of the house is allll mine, I have a real scraproom that I love. Yippee for getting my own room!
