Love the statement: "Clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions." I never heard that before. I'm copying it to my notebook to remind myself. Re-home, great term!
I have found ( since I found that quote) that it is easier to deal with the clutter.....I dont postpone the decisions anymore...I act in the moment...deal with it....I don't put off the decision anymore....Mindset is everything.K
Your quote has fueled my efforts. I'm dealing with an avalanche of clutter in a studio I haven't used for a few years (been writing a book and blog). So I decided I needed some breathing room first, the "stuff" was overwhelming. To start I'm NOT sorting individual items but removing the clutter to big boxes and moving them out of the room. (I'm also using donate and trash boxes.) Next, I'll clean the table tops and tidy the current shelves. Then, only then, I'll sort through the boxes before bringing anything back in to the studio. Wish me luck, LOL.@@KarenBurchill
I love this. I am constantly reorganizing my craft room. I am also one who has to have stuff out and visible, or else I won't remember to use it.
Organizing your craft room is not a " one and done" process....as we change we need to change it....The more you use your craft room...the better equipt you are to make better organizational decisions.
I am the same way.
Excellent tips - it’s so hard when you don’t actually have a lot of space but some great tips here that I’ll definitely be implanting “clutter is just postponed decisions” that’s gold right there ❤
I am lucky that I NOW have a dedicated art space, but I didnt always. The thing to do is look at what you do have and make it work as best you can with whatever limitations you may have....We humans tend to focus on what we dont have or the problems and that gets in the way of solving our issues and improving things. K
This is the most useful craft room organizational video that I've seen yet. Thank you!
Awww thanks so much for that comment. Happy organizing K
I love that you made notes of inspiring ideas but kept TIDYING. 😁 Thanks for the tips!! 💙💙💙
Glad it was helpful! Too often I start to clean and get sidetracked ....K
Thank you for such a though explanation of your thought process in developing and designing your workspace. I’ve done cute, now I need function.
Yes...we see all these beautiful "craft spaces" and think that's the way to go and forget about function...I like to think I've hit a middle road..function and a bit of aesthetic
I love the plastic envelopes. I use them for everything
I have bought so many packs of these....they are so versatile. K
An excellent vid on organizing one's art/craft area. Dollar Tree containers are a tremendous value especially when compared to ones at the Container Store. One does not need the most sturdy ones for our purposes. I use Elfa storage units, chrome baker shelves and Ikea like carts mostly. Thank you for making this vid.
Thank you...yes DT makes it easy to save the crafting dollars for all the products we like to use. K
Very nice. The page protectors for organizing is great. As is putting things not used as frequently into less obvious places. They're still readily available, but not taking up space for more used things. Thanks!
having the page protectors in a binder makes it so easy to flip through when looking for something. They also keep things micro sorted if put in hanging files.
Amazing organization ideas. Thanks for sharing.
I love finding organizing tips that work. K
Thank you , thank you, thank you. I have no idea how I found you put I’m glad I did. You did a dollar tree organization amazingly and like you I’m a micro organizer but you showed an effective way to do it. I love binders and plastic folders -plus the shoe storage. I have it all 9n a mess but now I can actual become functional. Kristin
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found me too...I am nothing if not practical...and I beleive we all don't have to reinvent the wheel..sharing info is great. Good luck organizing. K
Thank you for your wisdom.
You are most welcome
You are brilliantly organized down to every jot and toddle. I truly admire you. I do not have the room space you do but found tons of ideas I can implement in my tiny room. Thank you so much! Judy
Thanks...it definitely is a work in progress. glad you found some ideas helpful and applicable to your space. K
Loved the towel bar holding bins in multiple places. Will be implementing that one. Love your organization
Thanks so much . I love using them in my craft room and in my pantry. K
Awesome craft room. Ty 4 the idea of wheels under the filing cabinet. I think I'm going 2 do that when I set up my craftroom
I love love having the filing cabinet on wheels...makes everything manageable. K
This is the best craft room organization video I've seen!! And I have watched alot of videos about this over the years. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas! I am looking for a filing cabinet right now.
Wow, thank you! So glad you enjoyed it and were inspired by it. I love my filing cabinet system...with the hanging files...so functional....and while it is behind doors so easily accessible too. Good luck on your search. K
Hello Karen!! Thank you so much for this video!! I'm trying to re-organize my craft corner and I'm also starting to get into digitals. I was doing Mixed Media and have gone to Junk Journaling, I want to keep both and incorporate the two. Great storage solutions!!! What a blessing you are!! Much Love from Texas!!💕💕
I am so glad that ideas I shared in this video are applicable to you and your craft corner. happy organizing. K
I love your use it or lose it idea, this is such a great idea, cuz ive also got things that i have not used in a while, thanks for sharing
We all need a way to "remember" the items in our stash that we have neglected . K
Sorry, but I have to say it- If you don’t use it, you may not need it!
Love❤, love❤, love❤ so many of your ideas! Thank you so very much for sharing! In the process in Texas! Joyfully, Debbie
Enjoy the process....so many benefits came from doing the work...using "found" supplies....easier access and cleaning up....and not feeling overwhelmed by the piles that had been created.
Thanks very much Karen! Very timely for me, will be moving soon and decided to use it as an opportunity to reassess all my (years and years worth of) supplies -- appreciate all you share, your style and attitude/s are very different from mine and I benefit greatly from them ❤
Best of luck! Yes we often learn most from those different from us. Happy reassessing. K
Wow, your papers are so organized.
I try....it helps to have a system of some sorts. K
Thank-you for the tour and tips!!! Good job!!!
My pleasure!!
Thank you, Karen! Im in the midst of the utter craziness of reorganizing, you gave me lot of ideas, took even notes. Im so done with “I know I have it, but where..” and buying multiples, because I forgot I already had something (I bought the same book 3 times!). I definitely need a serious purge and those hanging files, I got so much paper its ridiculous. Use it or lose it section is already building in my head. And Ill be firing up my p-touch, thats for sure; while I watched you, I ordered more tape for it. Im on my way. I just need for husband to drill my floating shelves up and I can start filling the room. Yes! I suddenly feel much more optimistic about this.
Greetings from fellow artist from Finland :)
Ps. Your natural hair really suits you! I cant wait to get more uniform coverage gray, now Im in this weird Cruella de Ville-mode, scaring little kids. You rock it, girl.
oh good to hear that this video got you going and gave you ideas for ways to take on the challenge of reorganizing.. It will be time well spent. K
Are your narrow hanging shelves made out of wood or metal??
Putting my shoes on now….going to get plastic binders!!! Loved your video
Good luck
Great job! I have a filing cabinet like your blue on thanks to seeing yours I'm spray painting it and like your systems with pouches and hanging folders! Really an idea will try; I do mixed media Beads stuff ; collages ; and whatever comes to mind! lol.❤😊!
Good luck! YES it is amazing what you can do with a can or two of spray paint....Happy organizing. K
Great ideas, especially the plastic sleeves and stuff and the labels. My crafting space is in our attic, under the skylight. Very nice to sit, a lot of light and a view at the sky. Unfortunately, not much room to put things in front of me because of the angle of the roof. But I definitely got some ideas from your video, thank you ❤
In the end we need to take the ideas of others and tweak them to fit our personal situation...what works best..is what works best for YOU.
Thank you for sharing your great ideas. I really appreciate your listing the links to products you use. Everything seems, easily, doable. I’m printing your “clutter” quote to sit it on my desk. 😄👏🏽💜
Glad you enjoyed the video and got some ideas. YES I don't do complicated or custom made....LOL about the clutter quote....I know it has made a difference to my mindset.....I now don't put off decisions....do it now. K
Thank for sharing, these are some great ideas. Do tell, what do you do with those beautiful napkins?
I use them mostly for art journal and mixed media projects...I also make a lot of cards with them. I have tons of video tutorials showing this if you are interested. K
@@KarenBurchill My interest has been piqued! Off to watch these videos! Thank you!
This is the best craft room organization video I have seen. Your ideas are functional, practical. and reasonably priced. We use many of the same supplies. I use the the shoe storage units but prefer yours. Love the over the door hanger for paper towels. The one on my cart is flimsy. Like plastic bankers box. Cardboard ones are too flimsy
Glad it was helpful! and that you enjoyed it. I am flattered...it is surprising how affordable organization can be using more common everyday things. ( not the custom pricey stuff) K
Very inspirational. Off to the Dollar Tree!
lol. They do have it all
I loved this video! Great storage and organized craft room!
Thanks so much...when you spend so much time in a place you want it to work well. K
Nice, thorough with wonderful, helpful ideas. Thx so much.
Glad you enjoyed it! I am loving the new organization. K
Love this, glad I found you. TFS
Thanks for watching. K
Hi from Italy! Houses are tiny and there are no extra rooms for crafting, so I am stealing some space here and there in the living room-kitchen (a single room fits the two purposes, and it's also hallway and tv room), or in the remaining rooms that are the two (small) bedrooms. I'd like to have all my stuff in one place, but it's a dream!! That's why your tips are even more valuables, because I also need something easy to grab, put in a bag and take in the room that it's not already used by someone else of the family. No, carts are not a good idea, neighbours downstairs will complain for the noise of the wheels!! Can you make a video for a studio that is always moving? What accessories and containers are ideal?
Wow. I think many are in a similar situation to you. I know I’m lucky and blessed to have a dedicated space. I will write down your idea and see if I can come up with some usable ideas. Thanks for watching
I have some carts and Rubbermaid drawered containers on wheels which I can move around. I even have a case like a suitcase on wheels that my grandkids gave me so I could bring art supplies with me when I visit them, but I use it mostly as more storage as it has sections for pens and bruised as well as papers etc. I just move the carts in and out of closets and corners. I wish I could show pictures here. I found my carts in Amazon.
My carts do not make noise!
Great ideas! Thanks!
Glad you like them!
Nicely done, and appreciate your organizational systems and mantras! Also, having your finished artwork out is great. Question: Do you only have a few units of each napkin or special papers? I have full packages of some napkin designs or papers. Hmm, I suppose I could just keep the remainder of the package in my napkin box, and make a note on the page protector. Idea: You might want to paint or do some mixed media on the large tan freestanding closet. (Yes a major project). It would be fun do have a tour/flip of some of your mixed media artwork that we saw glimpses of, doing the tour.
Yes typically I only have 2 of each napkin. Your idea for marking the page protector is a good one to keep track of full packs. I plan on painting the large closet but not really doing art work on it..although you made me think . Thanks for the suggestion. K
I like the towel holder idea. I've not found hanging files to be worth anything if they get to full they buckle & fall off the rails
True that...Thanks for watching K
Havre you thought about turning the tall cabinet skit opens in the same direction of your file cabinet?
I had it turned that way for a long time but have found it looks better ( view from our main living space which studio opens up into. ) as it is. Access to doors works better with this placement as well as nothing is in front of it. Thank you for your idea.
thank you for doing this- always learn something useful from you.
Glad it was helpful! I've used the studio a bit now since it's been redone...and I must say it is so nice and functional. K
Thank you!! Great video ❤️ Dawn
Thanks for watching!
Clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions!! I love this. I'm going to use this on my family!! TYVM!!
It's so true isn't it....if we just make a decision we'd be further ahead.....K
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Greetings from germany. Thanks for sharing your Tipps. Br sonja
Thanks for watching! Happy creating. K
I wish I had watched this before I got rid of my napkins! I had over 100 packages of napkins + was so overwhelmed I just gave them all away.
I know...there does come a time that your supplies overwhelm you...I was like that just recently with napkins.....taking time to organize them always pays off in making it easier to think. K
I’d love to swap napkins with someone!!
I can see you’re a Seahawk / Mariner girl, too! ❤
LOL not a sports fan at all....color scheme is just color wheel and preferences LOL
Nope...not a sports fan at all. K
@@KarenBurchill
lol!
I meant we’re in the same region. 😊
Same here!
Thanks for watching K
Where did u get clear envelope
Here is the link to Amazon Plastic Envelopes for Binder amzn.to/32MbIpR
Plastic Envelopes for Binder - small amzn.to/32PGAG0
This video scares me few words I'm terrified of "throw away, decluter...your history of being a teacher really comes out in this video...I have started working on cleaning up my studio which I'm so lucky to have the problem is it's to big...oops don't tell my husband that I said that. Love and hugs from Ontario.
You can do it! It really wasn't that difficult....I imagine the face of the person who "finds" it at the local thrift store...and love that it will bring them joy. As for actually throwing out stuff...it really freed me up ( and to be honest lots was still saved) My studio feels lighter.
i have came to the conclusion that i will never have a completely organized craft room it isnt possible my room is so small i have way to much but i use it its not like im not creating something every day i try to use up everything but like paint you always have leftover paint will i use it i sure will try if it drys out ill get rid of it but i dont get rid of anything because i always end up rebuying it down the road
Knowing what works or doesn't work for you is key. Sounds like you are making it all work. Happy creating. K
Do you have anything you want to give away if ya do can i have them i hope im not out of line
LOL
I also need it in front of me or I forget it. I also have organized mine I don’t know how many times and I’m still not happy with it
Its a work in progress ALWAYS ..and even if you get it where you like it....you get more stuff or you change how you create and things need to change. K
I like all you buy is in dollar 3 😁.
Why would I buy anywhere else...LOL
