Default Where do you stamp?

DH and I are in a temporary rental house right now, so I stamp either
on a card table or the kitchen table. We are house hunting, and every
time we look at a house I try to figure out where I'd set up a stamping
area. Our agent made fun of us yesterday because DH and I were both
(separately) eyeing a heated office room just off of the garage at the
house we were viewing, and both of us commented about how we'd use it
(me for crafts, DH for his hobbies!).

Every issue of The Rubber Stamper features someone's stamping room, and
I drool over each issue! I'd love to have an area dedicated to
stamping, where I didn't have to pick everything up and pack it away
every time.

My saving grace is my Crop in Style "The Storehouse" that holds most of
my markers, my heatgun, and tons of embellishments, among other things.
It's very portable and holds a ton of stuff. Still I wish my stamps
and cardstock was easier to access than in big rubbermaid tubs right
now. So while I drool and dream, I thought I'd ask...

Where do you stamp? What do you wish for?

I have an extra bedroom we made into a craft room. My DH converted the
closet by adding four extra shelves so I have room for lots of "stuff". I
went to garage sales looking for furniture for more storage and found a five
drawer dresser and a five drawer desk/breakfront. The desk top is on hinges
so when my Granddaughter comes over I can swing it down so she has her own
little desk to work at. Attached above the desk are two shelves behind
glass doors for more storage. I found a computer desk for my work space and
two bookshelves and a stand that's big enough for my guillotine cutter with
more storage under that. Talk about an eclectic room...LOL. Half the fun
was hunting for things that would work without spending lots of money on
furniture. Leaves more money for the important stuff, stamping things!

Barbara: I have a stamping studio that has my supplies and worktable in
it where I do all of my work. I also have the computer in here too so
it helps that I can shut the door when we have company in. I used to be
set up on the dining table in our smaller house. If you can have a room
or even a large closet to house your supplies and call your own then
you'll definitely be a happier stamper. If your real estate agent
thinks that its funny that you and your husband are eyeing the same room
for your hobbies then perhaps you need to find a realtor who takes your
hobbies more serious. Can you and your husband share a room if its
large enough for both of you?

Good luck with your search.

WaveJumper, it sounds like your room was fun to put together!

Libby, to be fair our agent does take our hobbies seriously. The house
we were looking at had at least 2 rooms that could serve as hobby rooms
in addition to the room off the garage. He was just amused that both
DH and I immediately each earmarked the one room as "mine." As for
sharing a room, we can certainly do that but DH's hobbies take up a lot
of space, and DH is, shall we say, less organized than I am :-) So if
we didn't have to share that might be a bonus. Plus one of his hobbies
is half hobby, half business, so having his own space wouldn't be a bad
idea if we had the room to spare. That said we've shared for our
entire marriage up to this point, so that works, too!

Basically, I'll be happy even to have a corner where I can leave stuff
"in progress"! I cross-stitch, too, and a few years ago received a
floor stand for Christmas, and that was awesome because my project
stays out all the time. I just pull the stand up to the chair and
start stitching - no spending 10 minutes dragging out supplies and then
packing everything up again when done.
