Hello, Maja Fans, welcome to Maja Design blog today, and Maja’s place as well πŸ™‚

I hope you enjoy visiting our creative spaces and like to sit in our sofa πŸ™‚ So far you have seen Jenny’s gorgeous room and Elena’s bright and cozy place – today I’d like you to invite to my small scrapheaven πŸ™‚

Maja-NowakMy room is so tiny it’s quite difficult to take photos inside – it has only about 2 x 3 m – but I’m still so happy I can have it for my own! It used to be my kids’ playing room, but after the grand overhaul of our flat I got the chance to take it πŸ™‚ To save as much space as possible, we don’t have doors in most of the rooms, and so I have to struggle to keep my space rather clean-ish, in case somebody drops in to visit πŸ˜‰ Here’s the view you get at the doorstep:

mdroom0When you enter (which is about half a step forward LOL), you see a wall full of furniture to your left – there’s really not enough room to swing a cat πŸ˜‰ mdroom1Now I know what it looks like – plenty of stuff! But I like to store my embellies by colour, stamps by theme or category, papers by manufacturers, etc. – and that requires a lot of space and means plenty of boxes πŸ™‚ Here, for example, I store my stamps, stickers and some of the dies, and the boxes hold flowers:

mdroom2Here’s the cabinet with paper embellishments, chipboards, Prima flower tubes and bling and ribbons in the small boxes:

mdroom3Here’s my tool and paper corner…well. I’m a paper freak and just can’t turn a blind eye to a beautiful pattern!

mdroom4And if you add to that the fact I design for several shops and manufacturers, who send you that many papers:

mdroom5…then no wonder I need so many shelves and boxes πŸ™‚

Now turn around and you have the working space. The drawers contain more embellies of every kind, but remember, I love detailed segregation, so there’s still a lot of space for more stuff πŸ˜‰

mdroom6mdroom7Above the desk, on the shelves, you will find my buttons, Stickles glitter box, small stamps sets in the black file binders and on the top shelf – my season houses I’ve shared recently and handmade gifts from my scrapfriends from around the world πŸ™‚

mdroom8Then you have metal and cardboard containers with various small embellies – for example, the reindeer boxes contain Christmas stuff πŸ™‚ And can you see those two vintage cars? They are…candy boxes, now filled with flair buttons and album metal corners πŸ™‚

mdroom10The right half of the desk with drawers beneath is my media centre πŸ˜‰ I keep my inks, mists, paints, mixed media and embossing powders here. Here’s also the place for all “dirty” work, hence the craft sheets. The mini drawers are where I keep brads (again, by colour and kind, like crystal or pearls πŸ˜‰ )

mdroom9Finally, under the desk I keep scraps of papers – is it only me or is it normal not to throw away a bit of paper until it’s possible to punch a tiny circle out of it? πŸ˜€

mdroom11And so, here’s where I create and spend most of my time (as it’s also my business office πŸ˜‰ ), often with my kids:

mdroom12Thank you for getting here with me πŸ™‚

I hope you enjoyed the visit – drop by any time!
