Tips / Tricks / Tools my dp workspace redone!!

I had to redo my whole dp workspace, it's in my living room andcwas getting out of control and messy too!! I also spray painted my desk pink and added funky sticky wallpaper on the wood top! I just had to organize and redo my whole space! It has to look decent because it's the first thing you see when you come in my house!! I'm very happy with the results!! I just wanted to share my dp workspace with everyone on here because I worked hard on it!! Hope everyone likes it!! πŸ’―πŸ˜ŠπŸ’–πŸ–Όβœ¨πŸ’Ž

u/Hot-Blood-6795 Mar 22 '26

I got the desk from Amazon, but I customized it, I spray painted the black frame pink, and got some funky sticky wallpaper and put it on the wood desktop!! My release papers are from crafts with crashed!! crafts with crashley

Looks very organized and comfortable. I have to ask where did you get the holder that is on the sides of your desk that the canvas is rolled up in as you finish sections and move it towards you?

u/Hot-Blood-6795 Mar 22 '26

It is! A place for everything and everything in its place is how I have to have my work space! Ty for noticing!! I got my clamps from a 3d printing company, they are the best quality I've tried! All my tools and 153 trays are all Bella! You can check them out! Bella Art De Nicole

As a newbie to the hobby, what is the pink thing hovering over your desk?

6

u/Ctryluv58 Mar 22 '26

Not the OP but I can answer that. It’s a nail light. I love mine. It lights up the top of my drills so I can tell if the are right side up or upside down lol

u/meSabina Mar 22 '26

u/kay_radical Mar 22 '26

u/Hot-Blood-6795 Mar 22 '26

They are clamps for holding your completed portion of your canvas neatly tucked under your work surface! I got them from my favorite 3d printing tray and tools website! They have 2 different sizes and they come in many colors!! Bella Art De Nicole

u/FortunaGamerGirl Mar 22 '26

Me too. How do you keep the diamonds from falling of while rolled? I rolled mine and a few kept falling off

3

u/personwithaknife Mar 22 '26

Roll outward so they're not pushing against each other. And before i roll it I make sure i go over it with one of those roller tools to make sure everything is pressed firmly into place.

u/Radiant-Love-2512 Mar 22 '26

Looks cozy and relaxing!

u/Cinisajoy2 Mar 23 '26

It looks great.Β  Though at first glance, I was wondering why you had half of a quilting hoop on your desk.

1

u/Hot-Blood-6795 Mar 23 '26

I don't know what that is, so I don't even know what you are referring to on my desk!! Sorry, can you explain!! Lol 😹

2

u/Cinisajoy2 Mar 23 '26

The big oval thing.Β Β 

2

u/Hot-Blood-6795 Mar 23 '26

It's a half moon LED lamp!! Lol I love it!! No glare and plenty of light!! Lol

2

u/Avril_Blackrose Mar 23 '26

Wish I had an arts and crafts room like this. Instead I have the dining room

2

u/Hot-Blood-6795 Mar 23 '26

This is one whole side of my living room!! My family sacrificed the space so they can be around me when I dp, they said if he I had a art room, they'd never see me again!! Lol I'm lucky I know!! πŸ’―πŸ’–πŸ’ŽπŸ–Όβœ¨

u/jojo1556- Mar 24 '26

I love it! Very cool. You should probably get a clear mat for under your chair so it doesn’t ruin that pretty wood floor.

1

u/Hot-Blood-6795 Mar 24 '26

I had a plastic office grade mat, it had notches on the underside, I didn't think about it, well those notches dug into my wood floors!!! Damage all around my work space!! But I have a white kitchen floor and I don't want to dye my hair, my mom's and sister in law too in there, so we put down towels every gd time and I still managed to make 3 black ⚫ spots on the wood floor!! 😫😫😭😭 but it's all my mistakes in the end, my friend is a great Handyman and we are going to redo the living room floor once it's nicer out!! πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ™„ lol

u/Hot-Blood-6795 Mar 24 '26

Lol don't be hun!! It took like 8 year's to aquire everything in this picture πŸ–ΌοΈ I'm a dp junkie, I really started upgrading all my stuff in my 2nd year when I knew I was hooked! Lol it literally took forever!! Lol 😹

2

u/Mrschristmas82 Mar 24 '26

All my stuff, two big three drawer units and one smaller three drawer until, that Lundry bin is full too lol just wish I had a bigger place to put it, two small tables in front is what I work on lol πŸ˜‚

2

u/Hot-Blood-6795 Mar 25 '26

I think right under the window πŸͺŸis just enough room to squeeze in a drafting desk!! Hehe πŸ’―πŸ˜‰πŸ‘πŸ’–πŸ’ŽπŸ–Όβœ¨

u/ProfessionalCat1675 Apr 30 '26

Where did you get your table?

1

u/Hot-Blood-6795 Apr 30 '26

I ordered it off Amazon around 4 years ago. They still sell it, look up drafting desks. I paid like $140ish, but I think they are cheaper than that on there now. My 18 year old son put mine together for me, he said it wasn't too bad!! Lol

2

u/Hot-Blood-6795 29d ago

From Amazon!! I paid around $145ish

2

u/My_Mispent_Youth Mar 22 '26

Do you…do this professionally? I mean it looks great, but I guess I’m not that dedicated. 😁

4

u/Hot-Blood-6795 Mar 22 '26

I don't!! Lol I'm disabled due to 13 failed leg surgeries, and I'm home all day, I also have severe chronic pain, and anxiety! I found diamond art and it's something I can do with little added pain, and it calms my anxiety! So I dp probably over half my day, almost daily, because it's become such a big part of my life, I started upgrading all my dp workspace, this is the result, it's my happy place!! πŸ˜‰β˜ΊοΈπŸ’―πŸ‘πŸ’–πŸ’ŽπŸ–Όβœ¨

u/My_Mispent_Youth Mar 22 '26

u/Hot-Blood-6795 Mar 22 '26
