 New Raised Stamping Space Countertop… whohooo!

I realize that a raised countertop may not be the most exciting news to a lot of people.. but in case you are a crafter who likes to stand when you craft, cut, or die cut, or, maybe you are on the taller side like me (almost 5'-8"), you will appreciate this idea…

My hubby got some free countertops and we were going to replace my existing stamping loft countertops, but.. then we got this idea… if we put the NEW countertop on TOP of the OLD countertop and put a spacer in bewteen, then it will be higher and more ergonomic for me when I stand to cut cardstock or do die cutting on the Big Shot!

Bless my hubby.. he was so kind to do all the measuring and cutting and installing! So here was the process…

See next photo..

ABOVE:  you can see how the new counter sits on those vertical dividers and creates a space for the plastic storage boxes in between the 2 counters!!!

Since my space is very tiny.. only 8'x8', I need to make the most of my area, so those extra 8 plastic box storage cubbies are PERFECT!

He still needs to finish the trim on the front, but other than that, it's a GREAT new space for my paper cutting and die cutting and I don't have to bend over!!

Ya, I know it looks like a mess… but that's only a sign of a busy crafter 🙂

On the other side of my stamp loft, my hubby added the matching new black countertop.. this is where I sit to stamp… of course now it's covered with STUFF.. but this is when we first put it in … yep.. trim needs to be finished, too…

We were blessed that these countertops were no longer needed in the office they were being used in, so they were free… whohooo! Gotta love free!
