Scrapbook Rooms: Jennifer Pebbles

I’d like to introduce you to my decorating soul mate: Jennifer Pebbles! This woman can find and collects the coolest treasures to add to her home, and her scrapbook room is no exception. I asked her to share her room with us this month so you could be inspired.

The first thing Jennifer did before creating this fabulous space was to purge. I’m a firm believer in purging. (Plus neighbors, friends, and garage salers are always happy to relieve you of your extra goodies.) Then she did her homework and looked for room inspiration on the net. When she was ready, she put together an amazing space.

Here is a look at her lovely room:

Look at the cozy chair from IKEA, and that metal table (swoon), and the repurposed bedroom dresser!!

Here’s a different angle:

Do you see the orange accent color in the lumbar pillow and the little catch-all bowl holding the TV remote? Cool injection of color, right?

Here’s a great trick to enlarge a small space: use a mirror! Jennifer has one behind her metal desk to reflect light.

Jennifer is the one the inspired me to use a table for my creative space rather than the tiny, albeit cute, desk I had in my room before. Really let’s be honest! Don’t we all crave a little extra space to create? Brilliant use of space I say!

She also uses the space underneath the desk for boxes and containers of more goodies. Way to stretch the space!

And here is the cozy corner of her room:

More orange (and yellow) with that lovely chair. And if ever those locker basket drawers need a good home (besides Jennifer’s), I’m definitely going to volunteer. Jennifer also makes those darling “Hoop-de-do’s” embroidery frames. You can find them in her Esty shop here.

A space is yours when it speaks to your personality and you love it! I think this room speaks volumes about Jennifer.

She will be changing up the room shortly as she is expecting her first baby in a few months! Help me give her and her hubby and her darling dog a “CONGRATS!”

You can find more ideas from Jennifer Pebbles on her blog, which is found here.

Scrapbook Rooms: Jana Eubank

I think many of us dream of having the perfect craft room where we can create beautiful things. So today I wanted to share with you one of those beautiful places. Jana Eubank was kind enough to share her space with us today and give us a little tour.

When Jana and her husband were building their home, they decided to add this space. (Talk about a great hubby!) Here is the main area of her room:

Here is her second work space area:

Jana Workspace 1

Here is the bonus area (for a friend or little helper):

When Jana works, she is a sitting down scrapbooker. That means she keeps things at arms length and VERY organized. Let’s peek into some of her spaces at her work desk.

First is her idea book Cabinet. Nothing like a good idea to get you going:

 Then we have her drawers underneath that house extras, like punches:

Across from this area are her basic supplies:

Across from her desk area, is what Jana refers to as her “Messy Area.” I couldn’t understand why as it looks completely spotless but peeking into this storage area you will see what she means.

Messy area 3

Don’t you love the idea of storing “messy” supplies all in one area? So clever!!

In Jana’s “bonus area,” she has an additional workspace, as well as, a lot more storage:

If you have a personal crafting space, that you’d like to share with the Scrapbook Trend Blog readers then please link us to it the comment section. You may be the next host or hostess!
