I saw this the other day and about fell out of my chair!! My husband though "I" had a ton of stuff......NOT EVEN!!!! That is one organized lady!! My problem is that if I don't have it right there infront of me, I might as well not even have it. What I can't see, I don't use! That is quite the craft room. We all need to let our husbands see that and let them know that it really could be worse!!
I've seen this a few times because it's so amazing, my question is always 'how does she use all those stamps?'.
How does she even know what she has? I guess you just buy everything as it comes out and then you can say you already have that.
What a fun room to play in for a month or two though

That is just amazing!!! I showed my husband - lol told him I want this for a stampin room - he said yeah right!!! As it is I have practically the whole basement as it is now!! (He got the section with the washer and dryer and a little room for his tool/workshop!) But along with all my stamping stuff is the counted cross stich, the quilting, the knitting and crochet goodies and all the scrapbooking supplies!! And trust me - my basement looks nothing like the one shown here!!! About the only thing the same would be the stamping table! Bet Iris storage caddy makers love her!!!!
I would have to charge admission if I had a room like this!
What's funny is I think in my almost two years of demonstrating I have maybe 30 sets and half of them are neglected because I forget what I have - I can't imagine so many sets like this woman...
Wow, wow, wow - just wow, that's all I can say. WOW
I read my post back and it sounds a little ungracious. What I left out was I work in complete chaos with my stuff all around me and that is how I get inspired. I don't know what I have otherwise. I really envy Cathy's organisation skills.
Do you fancy a holiday in the UK Cathy? Then you can teach me how to organise. The rest of my house is just as messy. It's clean, but messy. I bet Cathy's house is immaculate with great storage solutions. That's where I fail, I've got too much stuff and not enough storage.
I really admire you Cathy. My hubby would kiss your feet if you could sort me out. I think I am past redemption
Yikes!!! this is almost scary... I think this room was featured in a magazine one time & if my old memory is still working - 4,000 stamps/sets was mentioned. I just can't imagine finding my way around this much stuff to decide what I want to use... It's very very nice - and I can certainly appreciate it - but HOLY MOLEY !!!
Wow! I would have some fun in that room! My family would never see me, I would be in there all the time. lol!

As I was looking through those pics and exclaiming "WOW!" My DH said "what the *&$^ is that?" I said "it is someones stamp room" He said "SHUT IT OFF NOW!!!'
He now realizes how good he has it. LOL!!!
WOW! doesn't even begin - more like SHOCK and AWE!! This comment has probably been made - didn't take the time to read the whole thread - but this isn't a stamp ROOM - it's a STORE!!!
I'd love to just visit a room like this - for a MONTH! DH complains about how much I stay in my room now as it is - I'd have to get a divorce if I had a room like this!!!

That room scares me. I give her props for her ability to organize, but I think I would loose all hope if I stepped foot into there, I am not enough of a stamper for a room like that!
I had a feeling when I read the thread title that it would be this room! I think the room is awesome, but I have to admit, my favorite part is the cats! My kitties aren't allowed in my stamp room right now, but that will soon be changing. I'm wondering how I'm going to keep the cat hair out of my cards! (More important, how to keep the cats out of my cards.)
This was featured in a Rubber Stamper Magazine I think and they said that she was a SU demo and that she had something like 14,000 stamps in there. They gave a link to her website or her e-mail address. For sport I e-mailed her and teased that she is our (me and my craft bud from work) mentor and we were planning a road trip to go visit her. She was super nice and wrote back too!
