Lovely room. Reorganizing and remodeling a craft space is a huge challenge. But worth the effort in the end if it fills all your wishes of function. I'm working on mine as well. I mounted magnetic vent covers to my door with double sided tape to store and display my metal dies. I love this solution so far, easy to see and use. You could do this on wall above counter where you'll keep your machine. No more boxes on the desk. I'm visual, must see to use my supplies. Good luck with your remodel. Can't wait to see the finished room.
I ALMOST feel bad for saying it because I love them both, but when one of them is ALWAYS doing something naughty and the other one is always behaving... 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant video, a real craft room which looks like lots of crafting is actually done. I have watched many craft room tours of very nice rooms but I can't believe much creating is really done. Thank you.
Thank you! Yes, this room gets a LOT of use and after all the effort I'm about to put in... it better get twice as much :) I am so looking forward to the pandemic being over and having girlfriends over to create with me.
You've got Aussie sheps!! My brilliant Aussie shep mix went to the big playground in the sky last April. Still crying about it almost daily. Your craft room looks like a CRAFT STORE!! You've got everything!!!! :)
My beautiful blue merle, Stevie, went over the rainbow bridge a few years ago before I got these two pups and I don't think my heart will ever be the same. I totally understand.
Just came across your video, loved it- new subscriber! The best intro ever, "this is my good dog" ha! Can't wait to watch your 2nd video, I recently re-did my scrap room. Being in a room you love really inspires creativity for sure!
So glad you're here:) I am hoping to have a space that inspires me but I'm a little worried that by the time this project is done, my crafting mojo will need a break 😂
Please keep your personality in the room. You just have a great personality. I want to take every thing out of my room and paint it and reorganize it. What a huge job. Just subbed your channel. Good luck with your project. Diana.
Thank you so much!! I will certainly leave my colorful marks all over the new room:) Removing everything and painting is going to be a big project for both of us, but I think it will give our rooms new life, and it's a great chance to go through all of our supplies, destash, and get inspired to use things we forgot about.
i guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Uriah Hunter Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I am so impressed by how organized you are! Yes, you have lots of stuff, but it’s all placed very thoughtfully. I love how you’re cutting up those papers so you don’t just have piles!
Thank you so much! I can't imaging having so much stuff and not knowing where things are. Hoping to make a new space where things are even more accessible and have plenty of room for crafting friends to join me when they are in town:)
Love your CR tour - you mentioned that you don’t like the red Die cut machine- -a unique solution “Decoupage” using a beautiful napkins to accent your decor
Thanks, Lucy! This was before the remodel. If you want to see what it looked like afterwards, here's the reveal video (it's a bit less cluttered 😊) ruclips.net/video/9tJGBFiCth4/видео.html
Great room! Lots of options. It seems like craft rooms in general are ever evolving right? My pegboards are a life saver for me. They are like 5’x4’ and store awkward stuff like cords, tapes, and stuff that do well in tubs. You are going to love a new set up! Have fun. Thanks for sharing.
Yes they are! I've been debating a peg board for one corner of the "closet" but haven't decided just yet. I'm mapping out where I want all of my supplies to go before I make my final decisions about what storage solutions to purchase. What a task!!!
Good luck. My craft room started down stairs in half the size of my house and now a room upstairs too. It’s overwhelming. Needless to say what the rest of the house is suffering. I’m going to watch you and hopefully get ideas from you. I really do wish you good luck as it’s s quite a challenge and all I want to do is just keep crafting. I’m now trying to downsize a third room. Oh well happy crafting! It is so much fun. I’m in desperate need of storage solutions so please make videos of all your steps; especially you thought processes of how to pick ideas and where to get them.
Thanks Linda! I am pushing through some hurdles and I have LOTS of things to share. I'm going to try to do at least one video a week until this project is complete:)
I’m looking forward to see your updated room but you’ve created a warmly welcoming and cozy room already so I’m sure you’ll have an even better space after.
Thanks so much! I'll definitely check out HD. I am planning to buy molding strips to use as rubber stamp storage/display, so I need to drop by there anyway.
Thank you! I can't imagine a good creative space not having some eclectic touches. When I look a my design on the Ikea website, it looks so sterile, but I know that won't last once I put my pretty things on the shelves and walls:)
Good luck with your remodel! One storage solution that has worked well for my stand alone dies, is to put the magnet sheets in photo albums (I use 8x8 albums but you could use any size). I organize the dies by theme or type, number the albums and keep a key to remind me where to find everything.
Keep your rubber stamps on the blocks. I started removing them, but never finished. And I have tons of stamps. They do fit in the IKEA boxes really well if you stack them by theme and lay them flat.
Hi! I'm a new subscriber. I will be moving and will have my own craft room very soon so I'm looking at craft room videos for ideas for storage. I'm looking forward to starting from scratch. I have a similar wired 12x12 paper holder which was gifted to me for Christmas one year. Mine is a fairly large one which a friend of mine bought at an antique store that was going out of business. They go for a lot of money so I'm very happy to have mine. Looking forward how your craft room will look like after the remodeling. Thank you for sharing.
Best of luck to you! There are huge advantages to starting from scratch and I hope you'll be able to plan it all just the way you want it from the beginning. My scrapbook paper rack was the first thing to go because it takes up a lot of floor space, but I have loved it for years and if the room were bigger, it would definitely stay put.
This is great! I am looking forward to the progress! Have you heard about the scrap rack system? I only recently seen a few RUclips videos about it. It seems to store loads of paper, scraps, ribbon and embellishments. Thought I would share with in case it could be a help.
I had not heard of it so I looked it up... SO COOL! Crafters have so many great options now! I love the Totally Tiffany brand. I just bought the heat embossing station and it's fantastic.
I know you are dying for a new room but I love this one, it seems perfectly organized dis-organized (I mean that as a compliment). It is so charming, you know exactly where everything is and it feels like a really well used well loved craft room! That said I am now a new subbie and going to look if you have done any updates😁
Thank you for the very nice compliments:) And yes, I have loved and felt very fortunate to have this room. I’ve just also dreamed for years about what I would love to change... and it’s happening! Fingers crossed it will be mostly put back together in 2 weeks 😁
hi my name is Charis love seeing your pet i really enjoyed this video the new craft room sounds fantastic i do have a few videos on my room but it is a mess again lol i'm looking forward to watching more of your videos I hit your subbie button and I hit your bell have a blessed day
Thanks so much! 😊 Maybe we can motivate each other to keep our rooms clean and organized and useful:) When my room does get messy, I find that I don't even want to go in there and face it. Don't want any more of those days...
The paper fades & needs to be kept in dark to keep from fading ( I know from working in scrapbook stores for 10 years ) ! ALL paper fades from light. I use & you could, use a black plastic bag to cover my paper & keep from light ! In my case it is in front, in your case it would be from behind ( to protect from window behind ) ! Paper costs a lot of money... you don't want to destroy them !!! Nice craft room & thanks foe sharing :)
Mold press? 💕I’d love to see you use it! Maybe you already did a video. love your cat watching the pups play tug of war! Great reality of organizing! 🎨I love the painting with the added llamas!! 🦙
Love your room! I have not gotten rid of any of my Sizzix Originals and I I find that the steel rule dies work so much better than metal dies. I volunteer as tribute if you decide to get rid of them. 😊
Can't wait to see the new remodel. Here is one idea of what I did for dies, clear rubber stamps and embossing folders, For all my dies, clear rubber stamps and embossing folders using the WER Mem. 123 Punch Board I made folders for all using 8 1/2 cardstock to make 6 1/2 by 8 1/2 folders. I stapled the sides so they would not slide out on all. I took all my small dies and labeled them by who and what. AG-Lace Corners=Anna Griffin-Lace Corners, CC-Peony=Crafters Companion Peony etc. I went as far as making the folder by Color like we all know CC is Purple and Anna Griffin is Gold/Yellow. Any others I did my own category. I also cut a sample of the die of a different color and taped to the front of the folder, For clear rubber stamps I did the same and stamped the front of the folder with the stamp so I can see what stamp it is. For Embossing Folders I used them and embossed the Cardstock Folder before stapling the sides. Then I purchased some decorative boxes I found at Michaels 9 1/2 by 13 by 6 and labeled and all my folders fit perfect in these boxes. Now when I need one all I have to do is pull one box. All My BIGGER dies are In a binder with Magnetic holders I purchased from Amazon all labeled the same way and if it is a kit I REF+ Folder CC-Peony as an example. I will tell you that by doing this I freed a lot of space and they are easy to find. Waiting to see what the new remodel will look like.
You are so ambitious!!!! I love that plan and am so glad you created a great system that works for you. I’m going to keep these tips in mind... thanks for sharing!
Haha of course! I’ve never painted anything in my house unless I was about to replace the flooring. I don’t trust myself, but also, I don’t want to have to be careful. It’s much more fun to paint when you can sling it around :)
Word to the wise, lots of things are not in stock and readily available because many, many people are doing renovations. Get furniture things ordered now if you expect to have them in the next several weeks. Everything I wanted from IKEA is out of stock and not expected in till late March and May. I’ve ended up ordering storage units I would never of thought of because of things being out of stock. And since I’m spending my money on that, my room will not be the palace I planned, but everything will be able to be utilized in other areas. My month long revamp is now at the end of two months, and I’m hoping it will be workable by the end of March 2021. I’m a renter so I can’t rip out the closet or anchor big furnishing to the wall (they are brick anyway.) good luck. Don’t be so set on getting specific furnishing that you are unable to compromise with what is available.
I found out what you're talking about the night before I read your comment... Ikea is wiped out, at least for delivery. I had to do some major pivoting, but I think I'm back on track now. I hope that you'll be able to make your project work and that it turns out even more wonderful than you originally planned!
hahaha sounds like something my dog would do thats why i put a gate up hes not allowed in its a fettish he has with anything that hangs down or any plastic bags also he will eat any tissues and paper towels napkins straw wrappers like off restaurant straws he found an old one in my car he downed that sucker little brat lol hes so bad!! i have a long haired chihuahua hes so bad!!
Love your stacks of the xtra cut outs collection. However Markers , stamps, ink pads, are NOT suppose to be kept near a window/ radiator. When the summer HEAT and sun goes on them chances of them drying and stamps wringing. Perhaps u may want to move them don't risk it plz looks like you spent ALLOT of money.
Lovely room. Reorganizing and remodeling a craft space is a huge challenge. But worth the effort in the end if it fills all your wishes of function. I'm working on mine as well.

I like the idea of the mounted magnets for dies! I agree, out of sight, out of mind, and that's not a good thing when it comes to crafting supplies:)
hahaha 30 seconds in...I have a "good dog" too!
I ALMOST feel bad for saying it because I love them both, but when one of them is ALWAYS doing something naughty and the other one is always behaving... 🤣🤣🤣

Love your space! Can’t wait to see it in the end of the remodel!! Good luck!! I bet it’s going to be gorgeous! Have fun! Thanks for sharing!

Suggest you paint BEFORE laying tile. Paint is messy and even with drop cloths, you invariably get paint on the floor.
Haha of course! I’ve never painted anything in my house unless I was about to replace the flooring. I don’t trust myself, but also, I don’t want to have to be careful. It’s much more fun to paint when you can sling it around :)
Squirm, that's funny, I hate visual clutter too !
The new room feels MUCH better, thank goodness. Still a lot going on but... it's less cluttery 😜
Mount Union Commencement Information? 😂 That is the most durable paper folder in existence.
No joke!!!
cute room, spray paint the side kick...
Great idea!! I would have never thought of that! I'm going to buy some silver spray paint anyway, that might be fun??
