The perfect crafting area

I've moved a lot in the last few years, and one thing every apartment has had in common is a lack of organization when it comes to my crafting.

Since my stockpile of crafting supplies is only multiplying, this is something I've started researching. Our current apartment is spacious, but seems confined because of our excess of stuff. I usually end up at one end of  the couch working on the coffee table or ottoman  while my roomie works on his chain-mail jewelry on the other end. Sometimes his girlfriend works in the middle. We need to work something better out.

Since we're moving this summer, the requirements not only include the two bedrooms, pet friendly, parking - kind of stuff. They also include space for a nice size desk. I need a work space, and I plan on getting one!

I recently cleared out an old plastic storage unit- the kind with two deep drawers and a few shallower drawers towards the top- and put as much of my crafting supplies as would fit in it. My cricut and all the various accessories and paper for it don't fit in this- but they would easily fit in or on a desk.

So- fingers crossed that we find an apartment we both like that has enough space for a desk. Some of my inspiration is below. All found through http://pinterest.com/createhappiness/small-craft-space/
