Okay, here's what the room is looking like now.
http://tinyurl.com/b7rdm
(I also use an extra storage closet in the hallway for
some of my stuff, so I'm including that as well.)

Tomorrow and Friday my daughter is in preschool, so
I'll be able to get lots more work done! I'm trying
to put some shelves up over my primary work area
tonite, not sure if I'll finish that before tomorrow
though--still have to finish painting the shelves.
That's going slower than I thought because I'm having
to prime the shelves before painting them, wasn't
counting on that.

Gotta get back to work while daylight's burnin'! ;-)

Looks like you've got lots of work. So much stuff. Looks like you have
lots of room to work with. Good luck. I hope you get lots done.

I have a work room also. I've only had mine since March. So mines farly
clean and organized at the moment except for what I've worked on lately and
haven't had time to put away. I can't remember the last time I scrapped.
This summer is crazy. I'm looking forward to winter already.

By the way. What do you have stored in the yellow I can't believe it's not
butter spray bottle?

Sadly, yours is what my after picture will be if I am lucky.
My office (I'm an eBay powerseller) is full to the brim, careful where you
step kind of messy.

No pictures...too embarassed!

Good luck with the shelves. Keep up the work and you will have a clean
hobby room shortly. I have been looking into some for over my work
area also. Hhhmmm... maybe now is the time to do it. Thanks for the
inspiration!

You have probably figured it out by now, I'm a pack rat of the highest
order. ;-)

I taught for 18 years, so I have tons of supplies, etc. left over from
that. Then before my daughter was born I took some art courses at the
local community college, and got a bunch of stuff from that--AND I also
worked at an art store for over a year where the manager gave me tons
(and I mean tons) of samples, etc. that people would give her trying to
sell stuff, and her office was just packed full--I'm also big on
recycling stuff, so what looks like trash may be something I'm planning
on using again. :-) I've also been to a couple of art expos/conventions
where they gave away lots of freebies as well! So I'm pretty much set as
far as supplies go.

The house has an extra room we originally wanted to be another child's
room, but since I can't have any more kids :*( and we already have a
guestroom and a study elsewhere, I commandeered the room pretty quick.
For a long time after we first moved in we just had boxes and junk
stored in there until I got the house set up. Now I'm finally getting in
working order, thank goodness, as a sewing room, a painting room, a
drawing room, and a scrapbooking room. :-) Nice. I've never had so much
space to work in before, and I'm really grateful for it now!

Water, to spray for water color painting. Maya was in there painting the
other day and was using it. :-) (You could still walk in there then, LOL.)

kitchen table. SO I have to pick it all up. BUT GET CLEANING!!

Wow,...Next time my mother in law comments " You have so much stuff" I'll
just show her yours scrap room....:)

Mine is packed floor to ceiling and I mean just that. I have 2 shelving
units full, a cabinet of paper, and a shelf on top of a dresser and even
more shelves around the top of the room. But my stuff it organized and in
plastic tubs. If it weren't I'd never find any of it. In the middle of the
room I have a card table that I use for scrapping and one of those fold up
TV tray tables that I use when I'm setting eyelets.
