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...
How exciting is this ... it is going to look so fabulous ... and I saw you move last time ... I know how good you are at setting up new rooms ... we are planning on moving soon ... so if you are free :0)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a stunning room - good luck getting it sorted soon, I am sure you can't wait to get crafting again.
ReplyDeleteWOW your workroom looks fab. Can't wait to see it when you're all settled in.
ReplyDeleteOh wow that is going to be fab once you've kitted it all out. I can't wait to see it xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab space - can't wait to see it once the furniture is in.

This is going to be one really fabulous space. From the sound of things, you are quite good at moving and setting things up. I anxiously await next week to see how you progress. Sorry I'm late, but happy belated WOYWW, anyway.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to WOYWW - I'm excited for your plans and so that your new crative 'journey' can begin - my gosh you've worked hard this summer! How's the climate doing for ya, bit easier to move about as well?!!
ReplyDeleteWow that basement is really spacious will make a fab workroom !!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh out loud when I read this post. 1) My daughter and I just went to IKEA to get her an Expedit bookcase, desk and some of the nice inserts. 2) You mentioned air shipment which reminded me of our chaotic beginnings in the US when the air shipment brought something to feel AT HOME (we moved here from Germany nine years ago). I had no idea that IKEA is in Saudi Arabia. I guess they're almost everywhere now. I hope you'll post pictures when your basement is done.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that is just the biggest space, you lucky lucky thing, enjoy your ikea trip {i love that store} and i very very much look forward to seeing your room unfold
ReplyDeleteFirst of all Good Luck with the new venture. I am looking forward to seeing your craftroom unfold - lots of lovely space - and a loo and washbasin - sheer luxury.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you'll be able to run classes in here! What a great space and looking forward to seeing what you do with it. We've just bought an Expedit bokcase here too but for DH's study, rather than a scrap space, alas ...
