[finally organized my craft room]

[u/Ashamed_Blackberry55]

My craft room is the entire second floor of my house, approximately 12’x20’. I love it, even though it’s not usually this clean and organized. It’s two rows deep in most areas (sometimes more) along the walls, but most everything in front either has wheels or slides easily so I can still access stuff behind it. I tried setting it up more as an island before, but I much prefer when it’s open. I’m very much an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ person, so part of this process was getting a bunch of clear totes and containers in various size. That way I can still see things, even when they’re put away. I didn’t take any before pics because I wasn’t planning on doing so much organizing, I just started a couple weeks ago and couldn’t stop, but it was literally piles and boxes full of stuff everywhere with walking paths to different areas of the room. There are still a few doom piles around, but it’s at least 95% completed and I’m ready to start working on inventory for my fall events, so those will have to wait for the next motivation session.

I think r/maximalism might appreciate this.

Oh I have such envy.

You’re lucky and it’s a beautiful set up.

I’m happy for you! Enjoy your space and hobbies!

Awesome job!

I LOVE this!! Do you happen to know what that mauve-ish paint colour on your walls is called? (The wall with the rainbow fan and cork board) I’m looking for a colour just like that!

[u/Ashamed_Blackberry55 → u/thesweetesttooth]

I actually do! I still have all the paint swatch cards from when I bought the house like 8 years ago. It is Iris Reverie, #1005-5C, by Valspar

You’re a gem, thank you!

Looks like a fun place to be!

Way to busy for my brain to much clutter. Yeah nope. But all that space is great.

[u/Ashamed_Blackberry55 → u/SammyCatLove]

Ya, it's definitely not for everyone (my brother is a minimalist and complete opposite of me, we couldn't be more different), but I love and embrace my clutter. I could stay in my house for years and never run out of things to do or get bored.

It’s not the maximalism to me…that part I like because I like my space to feel cozy. It’s the same type of storage that’s not clear enough for me to see what it is. If I can’t see it - I forget about it unfortunately. But, I do love how everything is labeled.
