You done a lovely job, looks great. You mentioned a dreambox, though they are cool, you've invested money into some really nice long term capable items. Just a suggestion, maybe pic a wall to mount one bracket systems so shelving can be adjusted to fit bins you've purchased or future storage choices for efficiency . To avoid getting overwhelmed by mix of colors or styles of bins, hang a rod in front of it all, make a curtain out of a fabric that you like at the moment, as time goes by and the urge to switch up the look, change out the fabric. Form and function that might could work for you.
Just a suggestion you can put your table on riser’s to make it higher to put drawers stacked higher and then you still have table space under Tv. Us wood 2x4 cut and hole in the center not cut all the way for legs to be stable ( paint wood black so it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb..lol just a thought.
I understand and might have a suggestion that works for me I have a master list of what I have in each container or drawer for reference before I go out to purchase any craft item ❤
Great job. I’m almost finished with my craft room office room also. I started before Thanksgiving thinking it would take a couple of weeks. Right. I took everything out from the closet and started there. I bought more of the same drawers cabinets I had and added a pegboard to wall. Outside I got ride of tables. Yes tables. There is no space to store supplies. I bought a used maple desk, move the maple furniture from around the house and now everything is starting to look so much better. The thing that really makes my room look great is that I stuck to the same wood and colors throughout I didn’t have to spend thousands of dollars but reuse furniture I had.,and got rid of all little plastic drawers and bins. I have a few more days to be able to use the craft room. I look forward to using a more organized room.
How people live is their own business. However, it's beyond my ability to understand how creativity can exist in that chaotic environment!! Good luck with your project.
I am a clean freak, so it doesn't normally look that way. We just had moved prior to this and I hadn't gotten down to unpack and organize it. So yes it was incredibly difficult for me to be creative in that space. I'm very grateful it is organized now.
I actually agree with you on that. I was debating stacking them all in the closet and not having anything under the TV. Try to not have the room feel so packed with stuff, but I need to try to move stuff around and see what I like best. Thanks for the advice!
Thank you 😊 for the tour. You should put shelves in the closets. I have lots of 12x12 paper that I need to make another system for. I also have to come up with another another system, to make them more assessable, and less on my back ways to assess them. Any suggestions?
You did soooo much organizing! Life will be so much easier for you now!!! I recently did the same to my art studio. One thing I did that I see you could also do: I made shelves top to bottom in my closet. Actually I have large bins like yours lined up on the bottom of the closet and shelves above it all the way to the top the shelf at counter height is a bit deeper than the others so that I have a surface to pull stuff out and gather materials onto for each project - eventually that “counter” will serve as a shipping area as well. My doors on the closet are bifold so I can open the whole thing up or keep it hidden. I have labeled every small bin and drawer in there (like you have), I absolutely cannot believe how much the closet can hold and how great it works for me. I never used the hanging rod in that closet anyway and I had all of that unused vertical space. I love your little organizers with the doors on them- they are fantastic!
Thank you!! It has made things so much easier. I actually have been thinking that. How I could fit more of the bins in the closet vs having them out in the open. So I definitely will have to get creative and see what I can do in there. Thank you so much for your advice! Means a lot.
These are my favorite videos to watch when I'm on break at work and just having some me time on the weekends 😁👊👏 TFS! Have a happy weekend to you and family. Ohh yeah I just "SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL"
Oh my, I think we are twins! I have the same bow flex and excise equipment in my craft room, same baskets, wire flower basket, same rolling plastic drawers, label maker, loads of yarn that was given to me. Looks like you micro organize also. Gonna get back to work on mine now and will definitely use some of your suggestions! I’m a new subscriber. Thanks for the inspiration
Oh thank you! And thank you for subscribing! Means a lot. I love that we are twinning! I need to get back to work on mine as well so I totally get that!;
In the process of doing the same thing! How did you organize your beads? By color, type? That is one thing I am struggling with. Only one thing 😂 Looking great!!
Holy Moly! How many hours did this take?! I hope you listened to audiobooks or a music playlist!! I suspect you found things you'd forgotten about, some that no longer hold appeal and items that restored excitement to craft asap. You should feel pride with every tote dealt with and every trash bag you pitched. Both you and your house can take a huge breath of relief at the lightness you feel for a job well done!
Oh you are so stinking sweet. Thank you so much! I did find so many things I had forgotten about or couldn't find and bought a replacement. So it was very freeing to let so much go and get excited for all I get to create! I was thinking I need to not buy any more supplies for the next while and just use what I have. I'm excited.
I'm in the midst of moving and packing 😅 my hubby is going how much stuff do you have down there? Lol I do have a dream box. One condition I made with him, I must take my Craftroom with us, we can start over with the rest of the house but not my Craftroom.
Oh I'm so jealous you have the dream box. I can't wait to get one. Lol I love that. You definitely shouldn't start over on your craft room! I hope the move goes smoothly.
Oh you are so sweet! Thank you Sarah! I am so proud of myself. It took a lot of work! I can't wait to do this to my garage. Soon!! Thanks for watching my videos!
I am a new viewer of your channel. I like the containers from Joanne's and the vertical storage bins that open up also. You are so blessed to have such a large closet next to your craft room and have another storage closet in the room. Can I make a few suggestions? If you can, I would put shelves in the large closet, and if you can not put shelves in there, I would suggest you utilize the space differently. Your 3 high storage bins look like you could stack 2 high in the closet, and the neat bins that open and clasp in the front could go 5 high in the closet. Then remove the table, and it would be clear next to your desk and under the tv. This gives you a space for more creativity, and you might not feel so overwhelming. You will no longer be surrounded with supplies. I forgot the black containers with backstock these could go under the table with the machines on top. I hope you don't mind my suggestions. I am a subscriber to Clutterbug; she is an organizer who has pointed out that not all people organize the same as pinterest, she does crafts and has a show on HGTV. She has 4 styles and I kinda think you are a "Bee" like me. She has a test you can take if you'd like to check out her channel.
Oh my heck I do appreciate your advice and I definitely will go watch her channel!! I love organizing so anyway I can do it better and not have it feel overwhelming I'm all for!! I was thinking about the closet and maybe doing more drawers in there that way I don't have all the tables and stuff so I appreciate that advice. We are in a rental, but we could prob put in shelves which would help a ton! Just would have to take them out when we move, but that's doable. You are the sweetest thank you!
Hi, just watched your great organization video, loved it ! Great job ! My question is what or how do I go to your channel ? Would love to see what organization gadgets you have for sale (if I understood correctly) as well as your other products. Thanks, happy crafting 😁
You are so sweet thank you for watching! Our organization line that we are working on hasn't come out yet, but we are hoping soon. But our website where it will be and our home decor and craft kits is www.geoanddan.com! Thank you so much! We have Christmas coming out very very soon!
I have one piece of unsolicited advice. If you don't put things back as you use them, this time next year you will be filming this same decluttering and reorganizing video AGAIN. Good on you for trying to resolve the problem.
Yes! I def am putting things back, but I organized it in a way that it was easy to know where to put everything. I def don't want to reorganize it next year lol.

Maybe you could buy and rice container that u push the button and rice comes out the bottom and use it for the felt balls

Looks great, I would move that folding table out from under the TV, and stack your three high back up. It looked better than the table.
I actually agree with you on that. I was debating stacking them all in the closet and not having anything under the TV. Try to not have the room feel so packed with stuff, but I need to try to move stuff around and see what I like best. Thanks for the advice!
Oh, you have no idea!!! I watch videos like yours to get inspired!!!!
Oh you are so sweet!! I feel the same way when I watch videos like this! It makes me want to get up and organize! Or craft!
You put some serious time into organizing. Nice job. Might consider looking at the vertical space in your craft room. Room looks amazing! Great job
Thank you 😊 for the tour. You should put shelves in the closets. I have lots of 12x12 paper that I need to make another system for. I also have to come up with another another system, to make them more assessable, and less on my back ways to assess them. Any suggestions?
Great work! 👏👏👏👏👏
This is one of the best videos on a craft room organizing.
Oh my gosh thank you so much. That means the world to hear. Thank you for watching!

An amazing transformation!! Job well done!
Invest in a Dreambox. Sell your other organizers. Love mine.
