Show me photos of your scrapping space!

I scrap in my kitchen, at the kitchen table so I am not a viable option for ya

 

I got rid of the desk I had used for over 20 years in 2018 because I couldn't put both monitors on it. It had a hutch I loved but the monitor space was only big enough for one monitor. The space next to it was perfect for some Longaberger baskets/wrought iron setup and had a shelf. I could also keep things under the shelf. So for almost a year I used a very old 8 foot folding table (belonged to my grandparents and used for all the family gatherings when I was growing up!). In April I finally decided on what kind of desk I wanted and ordered it. My cousin put it together for me. My computer sits on a 2 drawer file cabinet next to it. My monitors are on a dual monitor stand and I can put things under neath it. I use the monitor section for books. I also have 2 drawers on the right and a keyboard tray which I can't use now with the corded keyboard I had to start using (long story).

I also have a 6 foot folding table from Wal-Mart that I can put by the desk making it an L when I need more space for projects like putting prints into albums! I also use the table to do jigsaw puzzles.

This is the desk I ended up getting: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G7RN1C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I really do like it. I'm glad that I didn't order a couple of the others that I thought I wanted.

 

This is my space. I like my desk pretty well. It has one big file drawer, a shelf, and two smaller drawers for office supplies aka junk lol. I don't have a tower, so the cabinet for that is full of like extra computer stuff. I have a laptop and 24" monitor on the main part and then it has the other section, where the lamp is, that can be used for printer/scanner. I just don't keep mine there. Also, please ignore the creepy head on the shelf that DD made in high school art class lol.

 

I'd show you mine but I'd have to clean my office first. (It's a total mess!)

 

This is a 7 year old photo, but it's the one that best shows my desk. It's big -- 30"x60" so even with my old 27" iMac, there's plenty of space left for my stack of books, pen mugs, a plant, a pile of paper, etc.
What appears to be three drawers on the left is actually one drawer with bars for hanging file folders. The three drawers on the right hold lots of stuff. I bought the matching additional file cabinet for more storage (both files and a small drawer for more stuff) and it holds my printer/scanner. It has worked well for me for 8 years and counting! Oh, and that's just one of our dining chairs. This nook is off my kitchen and family room, and the dining table is in the family room (we're a homeschooling gaming family that uses our table a lot) and I'm happy with the dining chair; no interest in a special desk chair. You can find more photos of my desk and nook in my gallery probably.

 

Just realized I have a layout in my gallery of the before and after in my office. I couldn't get a photo to show in a post for the life of me!

 

Well, posting a pic of my space would be funny. I don't do it in my studio. I sit on our double recliner with my laptop. So...nobody needs a pic of my lap and feet,

 

My son recently moved his xbox out of the closet nook that he had so I have moved my desktop to the nook with both monitors. I have a lot of room. My office is cold and I could not stand being back there any more. In my office I have an old desk that was my uncle's but it was not wide enough for my monitors and keyboard. Hubby fixed that! We bought two boards at Home Depot and he screwed them to the top of the desk. I stained them and added new drawer pulls. It looks great. He also made me a huge lap desk for when I am in the recliner with my laptop. Of course I cannot find the pictures right now...lol

 

umm, no photos from me - I have a desk that I can kind of see.....does that count?

Depending on where I move to eventually will decide my set up - if I have a spare bedroom or a bedroom/living room that’s big enough for a desk area I’ll set up a desk but if not I’ll use the dining table

 

This is my computer where I do my digi scrapbooking. It is in an old style computer cupboard so I can close the doors and you would not know a computer were inside.

 

Ok here's my set up.

I have a 48x27" Ikea table and keep my monitor all the way back as far as it can go. I like to have space for various papers & things so each day has some clean it up time. One of my big gripes is not having a different space for my printer. The cord is not long enough to put another table/file cabinet etc to the left of my desk. Plus the window that has the a/c unit in it is right behind that printer so I keep the black out curtain closed in the winter but it needs open access in the summer. I have a 4 plug dedicated outlet right under this table so I'm not likely to be able to move to another wall in this room. Unless - I decide some day to have an electrician put another similar outlet in.

btw, the $1 was in a birthday card this year so I'd never be poor. LOL and yes, there are 4 EHDs under that Jin Shin Jytsu hand & dollar bil. The mittens are fingerless gloves for the frigid February days.

 

I don't have a picture but I have the Glasholm (top)/Alex (drawers) combo from Ikea. It doesn't have a center drawer but the top drawers are smaller so I keep my office type stuff in there. The rest of the drawers are filled with stamping and scrap stuff haha. I like the glass top on it since I also will use it when doing some projects. I have my monitor (which it pretty big), keyboard, my Canon MX922 printer, overly huge mousepad, and decor items on the desk and there is still space. This is the one...
