Ok, I mentioned this other day to someone else, but, you can buy the acrylic frames at Michael’s, and pull out all cardboard and the fake photo, turn upside down and use it as a tray to slide in and out on a shelf. They come in all sizes, and I have used mine for years. I wait until they go on sale, and measure my shelf to maximize the space. They slide beautifully and work well for me.
That’s a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing that!
NEVER EVER stop low key dabbing when you say craft room(slash)dining room...it gives me life! Love your space and how organized you are!
HA! Low Key Dab. That is me. I'm all in with the low key dab.
I love you TOO, Laura Bassen! You and Cathy never fail to make me chuckle. If you’re not sisters, you should be! 🥰
i started out with a bin, tv tray and sat on the end of my bed. after my son left home i got his room! wow! all that room! THEN i sold mu house and my youngest son and his family and i moved in together. i now have a desk and two rolly carts! a great way to declutter for sure. i’m so blessed to have card making in my life. 🌸
Sounds like you have always found a way to make it work!
Oh Cathy! I love how you show in your own home the "reality" of what it is to be a "crafter" in most of our homes. Really! We take over what space we have to work with and make it ours. Awesome video!
Thank you so much!
My guess is you have no cats or dogs inside. I envy your organization.
Thank you for sharing!! I like seeing how others organize their space so I can get ideas for mine. 😊
I started watching you last year but hadn’t seen your craft video. I love your craft/dining room. I am one of those that had to find a place to craft that was comfortable to me. So, I have a area in my bedroom that I said couldn’t go beyond 6 feet by 6 feet. I have things I rarely use in closets in my house but what I use daily are in bins, pouches, labeled and very accessible. Works for me!
Love your videos, sense of humor and easy to make but lovely cards!🤗💖
Oh thank you!
Cathy, I also use my dining room as my craft room too. also it extends into the old family room which still have a couch and love seat in the room. Its so nice to know someone else who likes it simple and workable.
Love your videos!!!!
Everything is so organized and your dining room actually looks like a craft room. I love the way you pretty much labeled everything so you know what things are without having to pull everything out.
I cant stay awake,but i know i’ll have good Sunday morning viewing! Cheers!
Ah Cathy, you’ve answered my prayers! You see, I have taken over the dining room as well but my husband still mutters and gripes about it. I can now show him that even the ‘pros’ do it LOL! Thank you for this wonderful tour, your home is lovely! You are as much of an inspiration as any Jennifer McGuire video I’ve ever watched and I am so grateful that you share your talent with us ❤️
Thank you!
Great tour with some awesome ideas! My favorite line was “I am trying to desensitize my husband”, you crack me up😂
Thank you for the tour of your craft/dinning room. I have taken over the smallest spare bedroom. I work on two foldable tables which I have to move away when we have family staying over. The clothes in the 4-drawer chest have slowly been banished and craft tools, cards, envelopes & inks have taken over the space. It's not much but it is my happy place 🤗
"The prettiest shopping lists you ever have seen" really got me 🤣
I somehow ended up on a RUclips tour of craft room tours tonight. Kristina Warner & Jennifer McGuire had me hyperventilating. I don't know how they don't get so overwhelmed that they can no longer create. And they've both had to pack their work spaces up & move houses with it all. There IS a thing as 'too many craft supplies'!
Thank you jeezus (& CZ) for the craft slash dining room! It is a lot more manageable for my brain to comprehend. I LOVE that it's built in to your family space. Your craft room is clean, tidy & organised, but not to the point of looking almost sterile. It's just a lot more intuitive & productive and a lot less like a supplies gallery. Does that make sense? Basically, I think you've struck the right balance between a.) loving your work, b.) loving your hobby, and c.) most importantly, living & loving your life.
Note: special mention goes to your main squeeze (& all of our partners/loved ones/housemates etc etc) for putting up with 'the stuff'.
Thanks for showing me around Cathy Z :)
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
I love to see craft spaces like yours. Alot of people don't have a craft room including myself so it nice to see different small spaces and better ideas for organizing. I have a small area in my kitchen/ living room.
Thank you for sharing this video. Your space very nice I like that you have most things in rainbow order. If your ever in a bad mood just look at those colors and it will cheer you up for sure 😊
It does cheer me up just looking at stuff!
I’m so glad to see your craft room. I’ve always been a use what you have girl. Lots of us have to craft in small spaces or find corners of our home that we can fit more supplies in. I love those huge and fancy craft rooms but that will never be me. Love how you use your space!
Loved "ignore that, that stuff doesn't have a home..." You have made the most of your space. My problem is I keep getting more and there isn't really any more room. I am not good at purging, I bought this stuff because wanted to keep/ use it!
I am getting better at purging but i have run out of room here, too! Scary thing? My daughter moved out this year and now I have more storage space. hahaha!
This is the first video of yours I've ever seen and I tell you what I clicked subscribe when you said how you dont have the ability to have a room dedicated to crafting...because I dont either and I love your honesty and I feel like your just a genuine person. Love it!!
Hey Sarah, welcome! Yes, I've worked in the craft industry since 2002, starting out in scrapbooking, working for a few magazines (and currently am the art director for Scrapbook & Cards Today, a fabulous mag!) and I have been in this room all these years. Oh, sure… I've expanded how much of the space I use and presently am OVERFLOWING with products. But such is the case when you design for a major stamp company (Simon Says Stamp!). When my just graduated from law school daughter moves out, I may be stealing some of her closet space for craft storage! But i won't take over her room, otherwise where will my future grand babies stay when they come to visit? : )
Love it. I craft in our small living room sitting in my recliner with TV trays for now. I only just started crafting 4 months ago.. yeah I'm a newbie. But I can't wait for our family to move to a bigger place. With COVID my dad got sent home from a care facility and me, my 18 yr old son and my dad live in his tiny one bedroom apartment... I share the living room with my son and Dad gets the bedroom. He's 73 and has only one leg so I don't have much room or much time providing 24 he care for him but I make do and craft when I can... Thank for the tour and ideas.. your Great, love your videos and watching you create and you make me giggle 🤭 got to love it..
We love newbies!!!
Thank you Cathy. I am envious of your paper storage. I showed my husband who said Oh you just router to do that, but am sure that he would never ever." I like your tip about using the exacto knife with paper that will help me. Have a great day.
I love your craft space. I think most people are like this with a small space dedicated to something that makes them so happy balancing family life with crafting. For me my balance now includes working from home in my craft space, I have had to rework and rethink my space but 12 months in I think I’m making it work just about. But what is life without always learning and adapting 🤷♀️ My absolute favourite thing from your video is those David Bowie mugs!!!! Wow just love them 😍
I love those, too! Makes it a bit more special that my girl made them for me.
I just got a craft/dinning room as well. My husband and I shared an office but with him working from home everyday I couldn’t get in there to craft. So I was so happy to give up my dinning room so I could have a space for me, we only used the dinning room once a year for a Christmas so wasn’t hard to give it up! Love your videos
Same here! We use this room about once ever 5 to 7 years when we host Thanksgiving!
I like how you think. I am lucky to have a “crap room”. I love organizing also... I do get more done when it is all cleaned up and organized! Your card videos inspire me.. thank you
welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll THIS video just gave me a bit of hope. I've transitioned out for a full workship into my dining room as well!! so far I've pulled out my boxes and placed them there...and now, errrr...I honestly am lost...but this gives me a glimmer, and that's all I needed, so thanks Cathy!!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for sharing. As a new stamper, I find that after living in my craft space for awhile, I have discovered better solutions as I go along.
Oooh! I missed this when it was live because I went to VA to see my new granddaughter!!!! Anyway, I just watched the replay and it was fabulous, as all of your videos are. Love the craft/dining room. I, too, miss Archivers; however, when they closed, my husband bought 2 of their shelving units for me. They are wonderful! I love the slat board on the backs of them. Great for hanging or adding shelves. Thanks for sharing, Cathy!!! We all appreciate it!
Oh great score! I miss that store. It was such a happy place.
I started my love of paper crafting from Archiver’s store. I would spend my entire lunch break there. Bought my first Silhouette Machine! Was so bummed when they closed.
That is the store that got me hooked on scrapbooking. Back in 2002 when I first walked into one I was hooked!
I love that you started with saying any space is good enough. Not everyone has a 20x20 room, so it's nice to hear that!
YES! That is what I hope folks take away!
Hi Cathy, Thank you so much. These ideas help me more than you know. I’m now disabled (I have severe chronic arthritis in mostly my knees plus I had a fall and had surgery on my knee after I ripped my medial miniscus. It was a very bad tear) So now walking is a real issue, I can’t go to work and I haven’t driven my car in 5 years. I had to move home to my elderly parents, both in their mid eighties. I have my bedroom only. But I can craft. I have all my supplies but can’t move atm. I have been trying to work out how I can do this. My dream would be to have my own art studio. Maybe one day but for now still a dream. So I have decided to turn one section from the end of my bed to the wall into a studio...my studio. It will be small but I think it will work. So thank you so much for the great ideas. I think I can do it. So it will be...This is my bedroom slash craft room and don’t forget the dab. Lol Thank you Cathie. I really appreciate it. Love and hugs from Australia 💐
❤️❤️🐨❤️❤️ ps I love your husband’s orchids. So beautiful.
Sending you LOVE and hugs, as well, Janelle. And my hubby will be happy to hear that. Those are his babies!
Thanks for your message Cathy. You really inspire me. Hugs back. ❤️🐨❤️
Loved the tour. I do have a large 12x14 designated craft/computer room but since hubby is at the computer most of the time I am at the kitchen table creating. I spend a lot of time walking back and forth between both rooms but my most used supplies are on a rolling cart with a few other items tucked in the corner behind my chair. I use coffee filters instead of cardstock when sprinkling my embossing powders, I find they are a little more flexible for me!
Okay...I NEEDED this tour. I too have a craft room but it’s my “slash” office and I share space with my computer, office supplies and official paperwork. So I needed to see how to maximize space. Plus, the different storage systems was the BEST! I too follow Jennifer McGuire organizing system. BUT the BEST part of the video HANDS DOWN...”the prettiest shopping lists you have ever seen.” Your humor is always spot on. That is why you are now my second most watch crafter on RUclips, next to Natasha Foote from New Zealand. I look forward to each of you each week.
Thanks for watching!!! I need to watch more of Natasha's channel!
@@czdesign I encourage you to do so. What I like most about Natasha is that she does not really promote one product line over another but rather she promotes creativity and encourages us to use what we have. But YOU, well, you give a short video with lots of creative ideas and LOTS of humor and I LOVE LOVE LOVE humor. You make crafting fun. That’s why I anxiously await your videos each week. Plus, I learn some neat things along the way. ❤️
I love watching and listening to you. You sound just like the voice in my head. I started off in this house, just taking a corner of the lounge room. I have now conquered the WHOLE lounge room and we're looking for a new home where the cat and I can have a dedicated craft room, my husband can move back to the lounge room (out of the basement) for all of his televisualing, and the kids....well, for one thing, I can stop the kids from grabbing my oh so expensive top of the line watercolour card for their drawings. I really enjoyed your guided tour and I'm pretty sure your 'stash' isn't always so neat and organised, which makes me feel so much better about my organised chaos. But, late at night, when the rest of the household is asleep, the cat and I sit and craft to our little hearts content (many a project has finished up with her pawprint of approval) knowing that very soon we will be able to craft without 'good natured' barbs directed at our full use of the lounge room. I'm looking forward to the guilt free bliss of it. Thanks so much for sharing your space, see you on your next vid. 💕
Oh it's most definitely not always this clean and organized. It always looks like a tornado blew through after every single craft project I'm making here!
Thank you for sharing your room ... I haven't seen a lot of people share rooms that are not dedicated spaces for scrapbooking ... I also use my dining room for my scrapbook room/office ... I just did a huge reorganization and wanted to make a video but wasn't sure people would like it ... you inspired me to continue with my reorg and love my space.
Thanks for watching!
Wow!! What a blast from the past!! That record cabinet reminds me of when I was little flipping through all my Dad’s albums... :)~Kim
Its a normal scrapbook area, that the majority of us have. Thanks for sharing. I love it and some of your ideas.
Yes! Thank you!
So excited for the live! I made sure to get all my Saturday morning chores done early.
Sounds good! The video itself is not "live" but I will be chatting in the comments during the premiere! :)
Ummm..and here’s me....I’m selectively ignoring my chores to watch this....😅
I love your organization! I also love how you have a pretty good representation of the main card-making supplies, without having to have every single thing from every company!! I do have a small craft room, but you make me want to reorganize it! Thanks so much! 😊❤️
We have that same stereo cabinet!! Ours is lighter wood. We have a picture of my husband when he was 2 years old playing with tapes that were stored in there (he’s 58 now). Love your organized craft area💗
Yes, it's from my hubby's fam!
I knew I needed to clean/purge/organize my craft room slash one small spare bedroom (no guests allowed lol). In the middle of ordering plastic sleeves for EVERYTHING lol What a happy place to create, and not too far from the fridge! #craftinggoals
I took over the dining room table/family room and created my space and thank goodness my guy builds me my gorgeous storage pieces. We work with what we have just like men and their garages.
Love it!!
Organized spaces are eye candy, it looks great! As always, I just love your wit. "I follow what Jennifer says", so true, don't we all, she's the guru. :-)
So true!
I also work from my craft/dining/music room. The right side is the piano and guitar side, in the middle there is the dining room table en on the left is a big cabinet/desk. About 2/3 of this is for storing all craft supplies and then a little piece with dining stuff like the guest plates and not everyday glases
Love that!
Thank you for sharing the live video of your craft/dining room tour. Mine is in my bedroom. Your not too much different than my set up... which makes me feel good! The only difference is I don't do videos, if I was ten years younger I would have opened that door. It is what it is... and I sure do love your videos. Thank you again it was the best spent Saturday morning.
Oh thank you!
I just picked up 2 of these white Alex drawers last night at the IKEA in Chicago area. I had been watching for them to come back in stock (they were oversold for ever) surprised they had them! They changed the item number. I checked that they were the same the clerk said yes. Was not happy since I had been looking for ever and they never notified of the change. But at least I found them to finish off my new craft room 🤩
That is awesome!
I started in the dining room during my 20’s(57now). I got married 14 years ago and my husband soon learned that crafting is simply part of my DNA.
I love my imperfect, unfinished basement Craft Room. My husband helps me with lighting, rearranging and building. Even as we discuss retirement planning he knows my craft room is one area I am not downsizing. Just make time for crafting no matter the size, or location of your space. I make time weekly and plan my crafts.
Loved seeing your space. I used to use my dining room and a cabinet in my bedroom until I got a craft room. And it was much better organized than my craft room. I try, but you know, lol.
I still dream of taking over our spare room… never say never!
Thank you for showing us your creative space. Love it! I am trying to make mine organized too. Got a hubby asking lots of questions about how I am going to do that and I just give him “ the look”....lol
Ooo and H S N sells the turn table for the Gemini.
Liquors and crafting go together! My friends and I have happy hour crafting zoom on Thursdays and Crafty Zoom Sunday from 2pm with happy hour at 5pm. Love that you don’t have a fancy craft room - I don’t and do what I gotta do to make my situation work. Hooray for us no craft room crafters! TFS!
Sounds great!
NCRC network
I love watching your videos! You are absolutely adorable and have such a great sense of humor. Thanks for sharing the craft room slash dining room!
Thank you so much!
Wow!!! I LOVE the pull outs you have your card stock on, so very organized & convenient!!! Everything looks amazing!!! I have a dedicated craft room in my basement, unfortunately, I need to tie a rope around me & tie the other end to the door knob in case of a cave in!!! I plan to excavate this weekend & for the next few months so I can actually know what I have, I’m going to have to Spring clean afterwards. I thoroughly enjoyed this video Cathy, thanks so much, YOU ROCK!!! Blessings always!!!
Thanks so much!!
I loved it!! Why NOT use what you have? Haha. Let me tell you about that. 3 yrs ago I had a roommate and it worked great about 6 years. Then for medical reasons, she had to move closer to her daughter. I had a 2 bedroom apartment and I didn’t want to move. She also took most of the furniture because it was hers. I was left with a bed, two sofas and assorted desks, Origami shelves and folding tables. Perfect just for me. I turned the main room into a craft room. The bedroom has my desk and bed. The master bedroom became my “den”. My coloring books and an assortment of coloring items live in there because the TV does too. But my entire apartment is crafting. I was looking at the dining room yesterday for.....never mind. I have to eat somewhere. So that’s why I LOVED your video. It was like coming home! 🏠 ❤️
I watched this live and commented, but I am really bad at technology. I looked forward to it all week. Such a great space. We all do what we can. For years I had to put everything away, every single time I made a card... what a pain. I have a room now... but Covid stole it... or made my husband steal it. It's great to see where all your magic happens.
Home depot sells the "lazy susan" active portion on it's own so you can have the spiny top portion whatever size and shape you desire.
I have changed so many times I can't count. I find any room can work for you as long as you think it through. I also don't do much organizing in any space until I've worked in it for a bit.
Thank you so much for sharing your craft room today! It is very organized! Your dining room table looks a lot like my in-law's table-unevenness and all! We put it by the side of the road when we moved. It wasn't quite as old as yours is.
It's so old and shaky. But yet, if I spill something on it, I don't feel bad at all. If i had a new solid table, I think I would feel bad about stuff like that! Trying to convince the hubby it's time to get this out of the house! lol
We moms and our hiding places! You have to share when you find this super cute card and envelope🤞🏻😁!
So organised. I sort mine every now and again and it looks beautiful. Unfortunately doesn't last too long. This had encouraged me to do a big clear out, reorganise and I will try my best to stay organised. Please wish me luck 🤞🤞🤞
You can do it!
Adhesive center for the win!
I absolutely loved this tour!!!! You are so kind and sweet to open up your space to us. I’m single so my craft room is my room and it’s not working right now. I have a lot of stuff. The garage is definitely an option for me to use but it’s a mess and doesn’t have electricity in it or running water, no fans or heaters, no windows. Sounds worse than a prison huh!🤣 We’ll get there. Hugs!!!!
Yes! You Will
I really enjoyed your craft/dining room tour. It was helpful for a number of reasons: I love how you used available space and made it your own and maintain such a positive attitude about it; I love the rainbow order of paper & supplies; I love the various containers, units, drawers, and the wonderful handmade storage mugs; I love how organized you are even when they’re an eclectic mixture of items. I love that you’re real… thanks for sharing your space and creativity with us! Have a great day! 🙂
Thank you so much!
Your creative, happy space is wonderful! I would be happy there, too! Your organization is spot-on. I use some of those, too. I really enjoyed watching this video, and you. You are such a happy person, and I really enjoy you and your beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing a wonderful part of your life!
Thank you so much!
What a wonderful area you've made. Functional, but also pretty, and so well organized. Go you! Thanks for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a cute bunny. I have a little granddaughter turning 8 on Easter and this bunny could get the card making part done with ease. I asked her what she wanted for a birthday present. She thought for a moment and said "cheese." Excuse me? I just want a big piece of cheese for my birthday present. Well alright then. Cheese it is. I figure she could feed some cheese to the bunny! Thanks for sharing your skills and processes.
How precious!
Love your videos 😍I always learn something new. My son moved to the basement a few years ago and I took over his room for my craft/work space, as I have worked from home for the last 3 years. I am still trying to organize it to work best for me. All of my storage is “extra” furniture from around the house that is not being used anymore. I’m thankful to see craft spaces that are a mishmash of had items and not all new and pretty. It gives me ideas for uses of what I already have on hand. I have recently decided that drawers are the bomb to storage and the best use of space. The only thing better is your cabinets with the adjustable shelves, those are pretty awesome. Love the freedom of adjusting to fit your exact need. Thank you, as always for sharing. ☺️
Thanks for watching!
Love your craft corner. Thank you for sharing. I/we were organizing my craft room while we watched your tour. Picked up some ideas to improve my storage areas. Dan's orchids are beautiful.
Hobby Lobby now sells the lazy Susan attachment. I attached it to a big square piece of plywood to paint on…easy easy.
It just shows you don't need a fancy space to create amazing cards. Thank you for sharing. Your video's are so calming.💕
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love your dining/craft room! ❤️ Those pullout paper shelves are so cool! I love that your creative space is the heart of your home. It just makes me smile to know that your hubby’s orchids are there too...his creative endeavor. So both of you are filling your home with love and creativity. Also, had to smile at the pile of stuff on the floor with no home yet (😂😂😂 don’t we all know that problem! ) Any way, I think this is the coolest place, I’m so glad you shared it! 🤗
An upside down mouse pad or pads you can buy on qvc will move that cutter around by just sliding so easy!!!
I just got a lazy susan thing from HSN. It’s by Crafters Companion and is 19” or so in circular diameter. They made it to go under their largest Gemini Pro machine. It’s fabulous!
Great idea!
haha I have a matching table...but much smaller...haha...antique and it moves when you breathe...haha...my crafting space has mostly moved from my so tiny dining room to my livingroom...you are so much more organized...smile..thank you for the craft space peek...
Yep, this thing is going to come crashing down one day! lol!
I love how you just make it work. It’s nice to see how you get creative when you don’t have an ideal setup. Most of us don’t have the space or money to have a beautiful dedicated craft room but as you have shown… that’s no excuse! 😁
You know, I have always wanted a fancy craft room but I feel like if i had one, I might lose my mojo!
Great tour Cathy, love all your little corners. Your cabinets are awesome. Thanks for sharing your crafty space.
Thanks for watching
What a fun tour. I love all of your beautiful cabinets and storage shelves. My husband and I downsized from a very large house where I had a beautiful craft room so I am learning how to utilize what I have. Doesn’t matter that much because I still have the joy of creating, even though it is a lot more disorganized.
Oooooooooo great craft room! Oh how I loved Archivers, would go to crops on Friday nights they would serve pizza! Miss having a paper store to go and visit!
Me too! Miss that store!
I love your energy and you’re so inspiring. I use my bedroom as my craft space. Thank you for sharing 😍😍😍
Thank you! 😊 I appreciate you watching this video!
What a fun tour. I have a much smaller space but like you I can make the most of it. Thanks for inviting us in. One thing I've noticed is I'm really lacking in inks. I need to try different brands. It's hard to do because you can't order 1 or 2 to try from several companies because you get whammed with a $7.00 shipping charge. Thanks for the fun tour.
I loved the tour! Thank you! I love how real you are. You are the best!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for your craft room tour. It’s amazingly well organized space. It’s perfect. I craft in my living room. Craft in my super small kitchen. I live in a very small senior one bedroom apt. No place at all to craft. Have small kitchen table full of junk. Even use kitchen counter top to put my die cutting machine on. I have three or four. Big shot plus on my counter right now. My Gemini in my bedroom rest in my closet. I hardly craft because takes me to long to find things. I eat in my living room. My daughter got me this large fold up table I put in my living room now that table is full of craft items. Crafts are in my walk in closet, under my bed in my bedroom drawers. It’s every where’s and I am 75 years old and can’t remember where something is. Been looking for my lamp post die for a couple of weeks and where is it. Just a mess. I live alone so no husband telling me to move out and take my craft items with me 🤣😂. I am so unorganized right now it stops me from crafting. My daughter gets upset because I order stuff and don’t use it to make cards or whatever. I don’t know what to do. I cannot afford to move. I watch craft videos all day. Thank you for sharing . Love your well organized space.
Love your space Cathy, it’s always interesting to see how others store their crafty supplies. I have a small space and you have to be creative with solutions when purchasing a new item.
I noticed another blending tool in the drinks cabinet where you found the other one lol. Hugs, Amanda x
Totally Tiffany has a great rectangle turntable that works great with your Gemini.
I ordered one yesterday!
I watched your craft room tour a different time and moved things around from your tips. This time, I decided I need to create a finished card system. I saw you put yours in clear envelopes. I’m on it!
I love that you are keeping it real! I’m thankful to have a bedroom that I can use as a craft room. The day bed, used by my grandchildren when they visit, doubles as a sorting table. I have a set of awesome shelves for most of my supplies that my dad built for me as a Christmas gift in 1977. I’ll never let them go. My work space is a little, antique knee hole desk that I bought for $30 about 15 years ago. I painted it red, and I love it. Its size has trained me to learn what I really need. BTW, you inspired me to buy that same salt cellar to use for my Lawn Fawn stamp chamois. What a great idea! Thanks for the wonderful tour!
Your room sounds wonderful!
Thank you so much for sharing! I am still organizing in my new craft ‘she shed’. It’s a bigger space than my old scrapbook room - but now it is an all inclusive craft room, so my sewing stuff, cross-stitch, beads, etc. all fight for space. I have stuff that just didn’t fit in here, so those are in totes in our storage Conex box. I’m hoping to do enough crafting that I can eventually downsize all that. I find it very inspiring and interesting to see how different crafters organize their space. And I love your honest, quirky comments.
Thanks for sharing Cathy! 😍 necessity is the mother of invention.... we all invent our own spaces and make them work!
Loved seeing your craft/dining room-especially since every time you gesture the word "slash", in my head I hear "Judo CHOP!" LMBO. Thanks for sharing!
Love that! Austin Powers, right?
I love that record box!!!!’
Greetings from a fellow kitchen corner crafter. This tour warmed my heart. So nice to see that not everyone has a dedicated craft room.
Thanks for watching!
Nice to see your smiling face on this Saturday morning. Sure you're beginning to see the warmup in MN as we are in WI. Lots of Hope comes with the sunshine. Always fun time when I get to experience a few minutes with Cathy. Really great use of the space you have. Thanks for sharing.
I keep my Gemini Jr on this Lazy Susan :
Copco Non-Skid Pantry Cabinet Lazy Susan Turntable, 12-Inch, White/Gray
There is room for a small roll of tape in addition to the Gemini Jr. it just fits, no wasted space. I keep it on the narrow Alex drawers.
Nice!
Wow...you have lots stored in such a small space. You'd be amazed at what I store in my small craft room. My friend's husband put shelves up around my room. I still need more room. Thank you for sharing and have a blessed day.
I love your energy and positive outlook ... not to mention your “craft/dining room”. Smashing video which I’ve found really helpful.
Wow, thanks for sharing your work space - so interesting to see others have set their crafting space x
Thanks for watching, Wendy! It's not a fancy craft room but it works!
Greetings from San Antonio! I’m loving this tour!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video of your space. Reminds me of mine that doubles as a guest bedroom. I have to be organized to make it functional as well as a happy place that keeps me feeling creative. Thanks for sharing. You are so genuine, charming and you make me laugh. Love the Bowie mugs! I also use some ceramic pieces my daughter made for blending brushes, etc. 👏🏻🌻
I love my mugs!
I store my embossing and glitters stuff upside down so I can see them. I love my old Distress daubers, I use them to edge things. Edging shortens the life of the sponge. Yes Yes... lazy susan for Gemini its a must! You will wonder how you managed with out it! I have an antique table, I removed the legs and replaced with book cases.... "You should have seen my husbands face when he found the legs out in the garage!" He asked, What are you doing? My prompt reply, " Well,.... I thought you could make me something to go with the legs!" his mind started racing what to do with them that he neglected to ask where they came from! LOL LOL love your space Cathy.
Thanks for showing your craft space. Lots of good ideas. Regarding your desire for pullouts in the one cabinet-you lose a little width to make room for the hardware but it is totally worth it to access the back of the drawer. Make sure to get full extension hardware. My husband designed our kitchen remodel with pullouts or drawers for all the lower cabinets. No more getting down on my knees to get to the stuff in the back of the cabinet. 😊
Thanks for the tips!
This is great! I have an extra room, but it's a shared space with my husband, so we both have 1/2 of the room... which is small to begin with. However, I am not a professional crafter, so I don't need all that same amount of space. Who am I kidding, I have tons of stuff!! Great ideas brewing here. I do need to redo my work space to make room for more crafts. Thank you for sharing the realness of it all. We all have our own situations for sure. :)
Totally! Sometimes I think if I did have my own room, separate from the rest of the main area, maybe I'd be lonely? Nah! Who am I kidding! hahah! But still… if I take over the spare room, my adult children will have no where to sleep when they come home.
@@czdesign Wellll funny you mention that. I am currently "spread out" into a spare 'oom that we do have, and hubby is corralling me back into our shared space "computer room" just for the very reason that we can even have guests... and them have a room. VERY small rooms, 1950s block home stuff. Lot's 'o planning starting to happen, and a sizable budget to get the storage done. Wish me luck!!
I soooo miss Archiver's 😭 I used to work right next door to one.
Thank you so much for sharing how you organize your space! I've been on a mission to optimize my space/closet.
I really miss that store too!
I miss Archiver’s too!
Also, when I designed by craft room I ordered magnet sheets that have adhesive from Original Scrapbox company. I adhered the sheets to the inside of the cabinet doors to put all my die cuts on. It works magically AND saves a lot of space. The cost is really reasonable.
Love love love your happy space!
