I finally have my own beading area! Here are some pics of my bead corner. It's still a work in progress. Hopefully, i'll finish unpacking all of my beads next month. It's going to be a long, exhausting process. Any volunteers? hehe.
This is my new bead table. I chose a small one because there isn't much space in my apartment. It's a great space saver - as you can see in the second pic, I can fold the ledge when I'm done working. Plus I can hide all the kalat by closing the table. yey! There are three compartments (left side) where I can store all my craft books, magazines, sewing machine, and more beads. I arranged my tackle boxes on the shelf below the table.
This is a HUGE chest of drawers that I got for a bargain! Remember when Craft World in Galleria had their closing out sale? I approached the owner and asked if I could buy her DMC display drawers. She was surprised that anyone would want to buy an old, damaged display case. I told her I was a beader and that I badly, badly needed a good storage solution. She was amused with the idea. I was supposed to buy two, but decided against it because I didn't have my own place yet, so there was nowhere I could store it. This one stayed in my boyfriend's apartment for months until I finally moved into the new place.
The left side holds the beads, the right side has the clay.I haven't transferred all my beads into the drawers yet. Organizing is tedious. sigh.
I'm going to repaint this to cover the DMC label. I hope I find the time soon.
Here are some of my beads and my clay. Click on the photos to see a larger version.
And here is my collection of bead magazines and craft books.
I'm going to start decorating the space after I've transferred all my beads from the bags and boxes into the chest of drawers. What do you think of my new craft space?
I WANT TO VISIT YOU!!!!!!

ReplyDelete^the drawers aren't overflowing naman. i want everything organized into types and colors kasi, so i segregated all the beads. so ayun, nagkulang ng drawer. huhuhu. sana talaga makahanap pa ako ng ganitong drawer.
