WOYWW.... is getting nearer!

We are off to IKEA this evening to pick up Expedits etcetera for the scraproom.... and I can't wait!!  I have unpacked all the air shipment boxes and it is all now an absolutely horrendous mess down there and still no work desk to speak of, even though I do now have one of those as I found a bargain at IKEA of the metal stands for there work benches and it was reduced to a silly $12.99!!  The lovely glass tops to go onto it were over a $100 and I am not entirely sure that working on a glass work surface is the way to go... so I had a brain wave and went to the local DIY store and bought a white flat door for $37 and it is fab and huge and gives me loads of work space to spread out on.

So this is the basement as it is at the moment....

and that is all my scrappping stuff piled up on the floor...

So this is the section that I plan to use as my scraproom... you can see one of my impulse buys from Michaels on the floor that was 40% off.... that wall is about 6 feet wide so will take a big Expedit without difficulty and then I can have the long wall for desks and storage.... well, that's the plan anyways!!

and I even have my own toilet and sink down there.... great for washing brushes etc!

and here is all the paper I have unwrapped and in the background you can see the pile of boxes all flattened and waiting to be picked up by the shipment peeps.... who wanted to charge me $50 to collect it all!!  I don't think so.... they were paid to unpack the cartons and put it all away and as I did that part of the job they can collect the rubbish for free, thank you very much!! ;)

Hopefully next week I will actually have a work desk to show you... it very much depends on how many people I can bully into helping put all the flat packs together!! LOL  You can now go and have a look at all the wonderful work on work desks via our lovely Julia...
