This week we're going to take a peek into some of our Designer's scrap spaces! We're excited to show you how they organize and find out their solutions to storage. Leslie Ashe has the first space we'll explore:
How is your scrap space organized? Funny, that’s part of my tip! I have a home for everything. Be it baskets for doo dads, letter stickers, design team items, kits, stamps, etc... I also have tiny collanders for what not’s, a tool caddy for pens, and another one for tools. I also use tiny vintage tin cups for lots of items such as vintage items I find at antique stores.
What products must you have within arm’s reach? Adhesives are on each side of my desk drawers – as well as my scissors, my trimmer, and all of my pens.
What do you love most about your scrap space? It’s MINE. My getaway. A space JUST for me. I came from part of my bedroom. So to be able to have a room ALL to myself – it’s dreamy! My husband planned this room on paper, then we put it together. Did it all on a LOW budget!
How often would we find you scrapping? Probably every other day. Well ok, a lot.
What makes your space unique? As I’ve mentioned before – I think this space is so unique due to the fact it’s originally our formal dining room and there are no closets. We were able to create this space, using tons of storage without it being crowded. Another thing that I think makes it unique is the shelves that my husband designed and made for me. They are one of a kind and I LOVE them.
Thanks for letting us see where you create Leslie!
Just pinned a few of your ideas to my scrap space board on my pinterest. I am definitely going to take some ideas from you for organization!

OMG I am so jealous. At the min I move from room to room. It's the kitchen table right now but I cannot stand the clutter. Hope one day my craft space will be half as nice as yours, lou x

Too bland for my taste. Nothing special about it.

Really Jenn, too bland?? It is a beautiful and well organized space. I would be curious how yours looks. Maybe a case of sour grapes?? I also like how things were repurposed or designed especially for a craft room without blowing a bundle. Looks lovely!

Looks great! I am lucky to have my own room in the basement. I would get way more done if it was on the main floor though.

I really enjoyed your space... I am in the process of creating my "office" / "craft room" and your space has given me more possibilities. Thanks =)

Great ideas - I like the jars and tiny bowls a LOT. Reminds me of yummy candy. Though I guess they do hold scrapbooking eye candy so that works! Gorgeous colors and a great use of space, like some others I work out of a small portion of our bedroom and would love to implement some of these ideas in the future.

Love that you are blogging about scrap space this week. The only thing better would be two weeks :)

Really like your space. It is very similar to mine. We even have the same light fixture! I'm in our formal dining area as well. I need to take a bit of your organizing to my space, though.

I LOVE the punch storage solution! I'd love to copy that..how did you do that? Is it just cafe curtain rods? What dimensions did you use? So creative, practical, and attractive !!!
