A Dedicated Piece of Furniture?

Even with no dedicated scrapping space, you can find lots of pieces of furniture out there that can act as scrappy storage! This is a great option if you don't already have room in a cupboard or closet. If you *do* happen to have a free space about 3-4 ft wide, these would be great alternatives to just a cabinet!

Any armoire could work. They've always got great shelves... and some have drawers! This one from Ikea is a great choice.

If you want to scrap in your dining room or kitchen, you can use a buffet table to store your stash! Cute little baskets would look great on the bottom shelf! And you can always use baskets, bins, crates or cake stands on top to hold scrappy goodies! This one from JC Penney is even on sale! ;-)

I once used a secretary desk to house my scrappy stuff. Mine isn't as fancy as this (mine is more like this), but it still worked great! (I now use it in our entryway. It holds receipts, keys, dog leashes, umbrellas, etc.) This one from Overstock.com can house lots of your stuff, and it looks all neat and tidy when closed up!

The awesome thing about these options is that you can just close them up to hide your scrappy stuff! Even if you're in the middle of a project, you can just close the doors or shut a drawer, so it looks all neat and tidy. :-) You wouldn't even be able to tell they housed a scrappy mess! ;-)

Reyanna, I love this idea for hidden scrappy storage. I used to scrap on the dining room table and one of those buffets would have been perfect for keeping me in check. ;) Instead, it was an untamed disaster at the time!
