my soaping room!

[krissy]

yay! i just got my soaping room back. i was working on turning the space into a full fledged soaping area and the day i figured out all the plans and was about to tell DH about them, he asked if i would mind terribly giving up the space so he could use it as an office. (he and his business partner were going separate ways and they no longer had an office. of course i said yes and gave him the space, but he found a new office a couple weeks ago and got all his stuff out 2 days ago, so off i went to shop and organize so i could set up my dream area.

the room is kinda small and doesn't have water yet, but there is a door to the outside right by my table and there is water right out the door.

i am not tidy at all! that pic was the day i got everything in place. it iall out of there now though because they have to take the door and ceiling off the room in there.

Krissy how cool is your soaping room, I need to come visit and soap with you :0)

How wonderful to have a soaping room! I soap in my kitchen and have soap curing on top of the fridge and in a hallway.

I need help designing one. I have a 2 car carport that was bricked in, and a room added to it. So I have 2 rooms to use for soaping and office. The smaller room I will have my computer and fax machine. I have water, and everything. It has concrete floors. I started to get stainless steel shelving for one complete wall, but that was way too expensive even on ebay. Any suggestions? It's huge! I am moving in this week. I am so excited. There's tons of ideas, but I want it to be functional and look nice too. If you have pictures that would help too. I'm not good at decorating. Heck, I just make soap!...lol

I was thinking an area to make HP soap with microwave, etc, an area for candlemaking, and a wall for curing and another wall for storage and shipping supplies. But now how to organize it all and make it look professional.

Thanks for your help.

go to ikea, they have so many different kinds of shelving and such and it is where i got my little shelves, plus they have a larger one that is at least double the size of mine.

Looks great! That would be so nice. Not to have to haul everything out to the kitchen and put it back away afterwards.... *sigh*

Thanks Krissy. Hadn't thought of them either. Ikea usually has a lot of neat things. Going now....
