posted a pic of his man cave the other day and I found it fascinating, the amount of minutia we collect to surround ourselves with is amazing so thus inspired, here is mine with some staging to complete the picture. How 'bout y'all post yours?...

Runs towards heaven

This is "where the magic happens"... Here's where I spend countless hours painting Blythe eye chips. I love it! ♥ Lol, what do you think of my paint pyramid? =P I painted all of the bases of the bottles white and the next step is to paint them with the actual color in the bottles so when I put them in their shelves, I can see the color and the finish at a glance! This is so much fun! ♥ Once I'm done putting everything back in its place, I'll take a follow up picture. =)

Also, take a look at my beautiful custom girls from Mary (Blythette) and Kate (Moofala/Chantily Lace). I love my girls! ♥

This is only half of my stacking drawers. These contain all of my doll clothes and miniatures waiting to be sorted and organized. Yes there is re-ment in these drawers waiting to move to the smaller bins. The rug on the floor is great for my feet and also for dolls.

This is what it looks like inside the one of the cabinets. The drawers organize all the little beads and misc. craft supplies I have accumulated. Behind the drawers are more furniture and plastic storage bins.

This is one of two drawers full of scrapbook paper. Uh, yeah. I like pretty papers.

My attempt at trying to be organized. Need to find more of those white bins. I had to buy my testors paint in bulk which is why I have so many jars!

My favorite furniture pieces have a special drawer.

I had to show you where all the magic happens these days...

It doesn't look like it, but I can find anything at any time. Except a pencil sharpener.

I have a room FOR mosaicing, but moved my table into a corner of the living room (like two years ago) so I can watch tv while I work.

Also, that table is a giant lazy-susan. It spins!

I wanna have dinner with Gershwin

I love this!

I have two more gorgeous prints that should be up here by I need to get frames!

8 ft table that i do all of my glasswork on, made pretty with lots of 8X8 or 10x10 sheets of gorgeous color! The view is grapes as long as no one is home..

And yeah, I need curtains ;)

Photos of our kitchen, in response to an inquiry on a message board we frequent. It's a complete mess but I figured I'd go for realism.

All my colors are in boxes on the bottom shelf, and all my knick knacks are strewn throughout..

This is the coolest thing. That shelf the mixer is sitting on comes out about another 12-18" and is just the right height for kneading things. The mixer may have to move if I decide to use the flour storage/sifter gizmo, but I have no idea where I would put it.

I made that notebook using fabulous Scraps of Darkness Kit for sketches of new 3rd Eye stamps designs ;)

Tons of sketches on the desk, on shelf and in other places weren't most comfortable... Yes, this notebook hides mysteries of next designs :D

I made cover with a lot of stuff from Scraps of Darkness Color Add On. I paint WHOLE cover with crackle paint rock candy and add a lot of Claudine Hellmuth dash of red acrylic paint.

Inside - at the beginning and at the end - are pockets for free sketches, when I haven't time for glued them. Yeah, that's not the end of free notes on every piece of paper ;)

You can see microbeads and Prima's pearls insice crackle paint :)

On the cover are stunning Prima's flower! +two from BoBunny... everything from November Scraps of Darkness Kit :)
