Ok, a little ' Kitchen Break'.
I want to share with you the nitty gritty of things in my CRAFT ROOM. You may be wondering HOW I ever came to this...
From this....
Aside from the painting (which I will share at a later post), organizing a small space full of stuff can be daunting. So I did what a lot of professional organizers advice - PURGE, PURGE, PURGE.
I also have a ton of magazines that are now placed on a bookshelf inside a closet across the room
Organized them by Dates..
I also made these, actually, covered these...
 |
| Bought this for 10 cents a piece |
Stitch, though cute, does not really 'fit' in this space.
I also covered this with fabric...
 |
| Regular Joe Cork board from TARGET |
 |
| A Much Better Inspiration board! |
Added a lot of storage here...
All from IKEA when I went shopping there last March with Charmaine.
I also bought 2 of these Dwell Studio bins on clearance months ago for my grift wraps. One for birthdays and other occasions, the other, just for Christmas.
I also learned that organizing a space isn't much fun if you don't have the pretty stuff that you want to put up and show off too!
Hence I added these...
 |
| My catalog Cover wall art |
 |
| Cute quotes from Oprah Magazine |
 |
| Residency pics, A thrift store little girl art and a favorite cabinet from a Catalog! |
 |
| My 2 boys - The other frame made by my son when he was still in 2nd grade :-) + Dollar puzzle from TARGET |
 |
| Dollar tree gold frames with fave pics from Catalogs and a FUN picture of my family |
 |
| My Cute Lamp and Elephant from Jonathan Adler :-) |
I got rid of things I hardly used, tossed them into a donation box or trash.
Actually, I did not end up throwing out a lot since once I organized everything, I eventually found a place for more things!
Any tips you got up your sleeves when it comes to organizing?
Have a Great Weekend!

Your craft space is seriously amazing! I love the idea of having a place for everything. It definitely keeps stuff more organized!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, your craft space is Awesome! IF only I could have a whole room for crafts. Right now I have just a closet...
ReplyDeleteIt must feel really good to have this kind of organization! I need to find a central place, right now my crafts are all around the house... basement, family room... you name it, so time consuming when doing something!
