FINALLY! My New Design Studio...
and my first Giveaway!
and my first Giveaway!
I can't believe how fast this room filled up!
I used to have the corner of a room that me and my Fiance shared as our office.
Where did I put everything?
I can hardly fit it all in here.
Thank you to everyone who shared their storage ideas:)
This is a straight view of my work area from the staircase
This is the same view but slightly angled.
I still have to sort
the paper to fill in the racks.
I just took clumps of it
and stuck it in the racks in no order
Work area from a different angle. Someone gave me
the idea to put metal up under my shelves
and place small magnets on the bottom of
my Stickles bottles. So I did and they are hanging
right where I can see them all and the Stickles glitter is
always up a the tip when you pull it down! This was a brilliant idea!
(I hope you can see the bottles in this small pic)
All of my punches. Another great idea from many
of the sites that showed off their craft rooms.
This is the transition into the sewing area.
Full Closet of supplies
Sewing Area
Well...That's about it. I will show the
whole room later but
I still have some things that are not out of boxes yet.
I haven't decided where to put this extra stuff.
I also have this cool white desk (below)
in the corner under the
back window that will be the new home of my
Imagine when it gets here.
"Imagine"
My new Imagine on this desk:)
(Coming soon)
Hope you have enjoyed the pics!

Wow! I love your room!! I am jealous. :) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOrganization Tip:
ReplyDeleteFor glitter glue (stickles, glue tiny round magnets on the bottom of the bottles. Underneath your shelf in scrap room, mount a baking pan. Then stick the bottles upside down(make sure covers are on tight!! LOL) for storage. When you go to use them, the glue will always be towards the top!
Great job on the room! Thanks for the chance to win!!

Wow!!!I am dead jealous!!! This is absolutely gorgeous! I just want to come and sit and stare!
ReplyDeleteWell done on such a great job :)
Awesome room. I love the storage idea for the Stickles. I have my buttons and brads stored in a clear sewing box with seperators so I could see what I have and it fits nicely on a shelf with other stuff.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Design Studio!!! I love it!!! As for storage ideas, I have a lot of pink storage and tools in my room, and I look at places like Dollar General for cute pink storage. I have a pink wire napkin holder that holds my 6x6 pads perfectly and cutely. I have also found a pink wire utensil holder that is just like the one Cropper Hopper sells in white to hold pens and tools, I like mine so much better because it is not only pink, but it was just a couple bucks!
ReplyDeleteI Love it. I'm so jealous, it is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I'm following you but it's under the name Zackmum. Let's see a great storage idea. The one that comes to mind is that I was watching a u stream with Pink Cricut the other night and they had this vinyl bag with holes in it where all their ribbon comes out a different hole it was awesome. not pretty but all the ribbon was kept in this bag and out of each hole hung a different piece of ribbon. they said that they bought it at Walmart. You should check out her U Stream to know what I'm talking about.

please check out my blog if you get a chance.
I use the CD/DVD holders in the office section of Walmart to store my Cricut overlays/books and cards! They have removable dividers so for the cards I keep them in and can sort them by type. I can always get right to a certain card when I need to shoot one off!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!

Holy cow! I'm so jealous.. you have a dream craft room! Love it!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful space. I could easily have a lot of fun relaxing in there. Right now I share a space with my husband and it get's tight. I'm slowly trying to move him out. LOL I'm trying to learn how to be better organized from you all, so keep the information coming. chale@gci.net
ReplyDeleteLove your room and thanks for sharing the great idea for the stickles bottles. I'm on my way to buy magnets.
ReplyDeleteI've found a couple great storage ideas. My newest favorite is mounting a shelf under my Cricut table to hold my 12 x 24 paper pads. I also store my buttons in Frappe bottles that sit on a shelf over my work station. All my buttons are within easy reach and easy to see.

So jealous of your organized, clean, and beautiful work space!! You've definately utilized every inch of space, haven't you? :-)
ReplyDeleteMy best organization/storage tip is to use office-supply "in and out" boxes for currently-working-on projects so they're quick at hand!
Such a beautiful room! I love love love the stickles organizing/storage idea. So smart. I have seen people use a block of wood and drill holes into it to hold them upside down and organized, but having them under a shelf takes up NO room at all! Its like using wasted space, awesome when you have lots of stuff :)
ReplyDeleteI think right now my favorite storage idea has been for my cricut cartridges. Using the ribbon snapware box to organize them all. Really works great. :)
Thanks for the chance to win the cricut tool set - dont have it and would love to own one with pink on it!! :)

Congrats on your new room and getting to fill it up! One of my favorite storage ideas is for clear stamps. I put them all in clear CD cases and label the end. I store all the cases in a wooden CD rack that I purchased from IKEA. It was unfinished wood, so I painted it to match my room colors (pink, black, and white).
ReplyDeleteYay, I'm slowly finding more scrappers in San Diego! Maybe we shouls organize a crop or swarm one of these days!
Thanks for sharing your room and I can't wait to see all your paper organized!
Wow! You're room looks great! I wish mine was half that organized!!! I don't think I have any super organizational tips... I do like to use those Iris cases from Michaels to keep all of my stuff in!
ReplyDeleteOMG I love this room, I have to ask where did you get the racks for all your papers, I love them, but never see them anywheres, and I left you the Cherry on Top Award awhile back, I hope you can post here soon, the idea that comes to me is the shoe rack for the punches I have that in pink, but I do save all my smaller ribbons on crafts sticks and place them in fancy jar of some sort, thanks for sharing your room Debbie
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS! so much!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the metal paper holders?
I am building my craft room tonight!!!
I am using the ELFA storage system to build shelves that will keep all my craft stuff organized!
Thanks for the chance to enter!

I love your new studio!! It's awesome...now I just have to get my stuff organized!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! I can't even imagine having to pack all my stuff up and move it.
ReplyDeleteI love my 7 drawer organizer for my scraps, which are sorted by color (2 colors per drawer).
The stickles idea is brilliant!!! Love it!
I'm sure that creating in this studio is going to be so much fun for you...enjoy your new space! TFS!
Your room is so beautiful! I love how light it is! As far as an idea from me.... I think your room is so much more organized. I use a lot of photo boxes to store ribbons/cuttlebug a2 folders/glitter etc. I love my spinning kitchen carasol for everyday needed items! Thanks for your ideas! And for the chance to win! Jackie.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new area. I love the stickles holder idea! My husband took two bookcases, took the backs of the first one, nailed them together one in front of the other. The height is perfect for the Cricut on top and all the cartridges and supplies on the shelves below. This way, I have everything in one place ( I have 75 cartridges)
ReplyDeleteAt first, I thought he was crazy but it worked!
Enjoy your new space!

I love the way your craft room turned out. It's so clean!! I was running out of space for my ever expanding library of cricut cartridges, so I bought a clip it up organizer. I put the overlays, books and carts in 5x8 bags. At last count I had about 80 carts, and on the two tiers, I have plenty of room for more. Enjoy your new space, kandrewsny@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention my storage idea! I use A4 plastic envelopes to store my clear stamps all in a 2 ring binder.
ReplyDeleteYour room is great! I am jealous! My tip is that I use a pretty box from JoAnn Fabrics that's made to hold cards and store my cuttlebug embossing folders in it. Then I take some of my scraps in different colors and cut them to fit an A2 card and have them ready embossed. That way I can look through my box (which has dividers and labels of which folders they are) and pick one already embossed.

I love everything about your room! Such an organized closet! I wish I had the space! I hope your table will hold the Imagine when you get yours. I was shocked at how big it was...I had to find a different space for my expression very quickly! The Imagine took over! teachnd@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI love your room, thank you for sharing, given me a great idea with your punches holder, love it xx
ReplyDeleteHave fun creating in your new space x
