Stamping Table

reposted from my weblog: Five Acres with a View


Yesterday evening, I did something I had been planning for quite a while: to change the height of my stamping table so I could work there while standing. My stamping table, which is a panel sitting on two height adjustable trestles, was purchased at Ikea almost two decades ago, and has served many functions over the year.

I've set the table at 36.5 inches, which is close to the 36 inch high counters in our kitchen. This is a comfortable working height for me. I spend too much time sitting at my computer, and wanted to be able to stand as a change when I work at my stamping table. At this height, the table allows me to store some stuff under it and free up floor space in my office/stamping room.

Members of my family may recognize the small chest of drawers, which served as my sister's nightstand several decades ago. I am not sure where it came from (one of Grandmommy's acquisitions) but it has certainly been useful over the years.

That half inch makes a difference, doesn't it. I flatten out my easel to work once in a while, but it's just a tad too short so I end up with a tired back.

I've used it for a few days now, and it seems to be working very well. It is especially good for using my paper cutter and my sizzix machine.

What sorts of stamping do you do? See, I don't even know enough about it to ask an intelligent question. :)

Hello there! Your room looks so neat you put me to shame- but since you wrote "It May Never Look this Neat Again" maybe you "work messy" like me and build up piles of stuff on your work table! I do clean up my supplies but I do invariable get piles of magazines or artwork- stuff I intened to look at "later" BTW- I saw you friended me- I friended you back.

OK- me again- I know you- I didn't realize I "knew" you- you started Sara group. That used to be my favorite list in its heyday!

Yes, I started Sara-L. I regret that it has become so inactive, but there are so many good lists now that I haven't had any motivation to try to re-energize it.
