Sharing Organizing Ideas from My Studio

Well, I have been absent for a few days...but for a GOOD reason. I have HAD to get INTO my studio and cleaned and organize it!!! During the Holidays when I am creating...cleanliness and organization just goes by the wayside. A good word would be CHAOS!!!! So....when my sweet friend Celeste showed her gorgeous studio recently I knew it was time to get my room spiffed up! If you have not seen her Studio you must check HERE and see how beautiful her room is!!!

I thought I'd show you how I store the many THING's I use to create. As you will see, I don't have most things behind doors or cabinets...I am so VISUAL that I need to see what I am working with or I forget what I have! Now that could be a blond or aging thang...but I AM NOT Going there! hehehe

Do you have some fun or unique ways you organize things in your rooms? I'd love to hear about them. I have a THING for organizing...just ask my family! LOL



I use lots of jars and boxes!

This is a fun way to store goodies in plain sight and I was so proud to come up with it! I used plastic spray paint and painted those small utility drawer holders. Then I found at a thrift store, a neat floral box for $4 that is meant for shoes...but this does hold shoe size plastic containers PEFECTLY...well they hold a lot of my laces, trims, glues, glittlers and on and on....I love how this works because it is all at my fingertips!!! It has to be one of my favorites in organization ever!



I know I have shared this idea when I did my Craft room blog a while back....but it was easy to do and others might like to do this. This is a regular 2 tier shelf I found at a thrift store, painted it pink, drilled holes in the middle section and then placed cup hooks on the lowest area. I then place long dowells thgough for my growing ribbon collection...I use these almost every day! I also have smaller pieces of ribbons and wound ribbons in 2 sectioned vintage quilted containers.
This idea was a combined effort between me and hubs. He helped me cut out this peg board to fit this LARGE picture frame...it now holds many scissors and other goodies I use it comes in handy and IF I remember to put my scissors back I can then find a pair when I need them, lol.
This shelf is quite large and was a garage sale find for $3...it has a neat embossed wall paper background and so much room for crepe paper and containers for ribbon roses. And a few birdhouses waiting to be finished...
THESE are my favorite things that I use! I love these vintage glove and hankie holders...they are FULL of my handmade clay roses! I check for these often in LOT groups on ebay and have gotten the best deals there.
And..last these are some neat ways I found recently, inspired by Celeste to put my most used colors of paint close to me! Fun containters and baskets.

So...do you have some unique and fun ways that you have oranized your things? I'd LOVE to hear more about what you do! I am always looking for new ideas.

Have a blessed day!
