I thoroughly enjoyed your tour - it's NOT a crappy room, it's delightful and functional. Thanks for taking the time to show us, and thanks for including your sweet dog. I, too, a a dog lover and usually have one or more under my feet in my craft room. Happy Holidays, Mary. Stay safe.
Thank you Diane! Happy holidays to you too! I've recently moved so I'm looking forward to setting up my new, super-sized craft room. I'm calling it my Ma'am Cave.
I don't know WHAT you're talking about. Your craft room is beautiful! And so well organized. Love your repurposing & creative solutions that work for YOU. Plus...I'd rather spend my $ on supplies than fancy storage.😉 Super gorgeous & inspirational. Ty so much for sharing.💖
I love love love the skirt hangar idea ! Brilliant And you are so right if it's in a drawer or hidden away you won't use it ! , love your ideas ! Also if people have nasty comments about your ideas they really should keep them to themselves , I have no time for those people ! Enjoy your Great Craft Room !!
I love your crafting area! I have an even smaller space to craft and I have found some great ideas by just watching your tour! Thanks for sharing! Love your doggie too!
Love your curtains, I love owls too. Your big, cute, adorable dog is almost as big as your fantastic little craft room! What a great space, nice to have any size space to create. Thanks for sharing
Just wanted to say I think you might be my long lost little sister. Honestly and maybe oddly you sounded like I think I'd sound if I had a craft room to tour. I so enjoyed seeing your room and feel strongly that dogs provide a decorative and entertainment element to every room in the home. I have probably watched 100 craft room tours in the past year as I plan (and plan and plan and plan) my eventual room (we are s-l-o-w-l-y building a house). While I might admire those remarkable rooms, they just don't feel like me, and yours does. Might be the dog. I'm rambling. Just really enjoyed you, the dog, and the tour.
great craft room. I too started crafting in a little closet and finally moved to a small area in the family room. I actually love the small space. Everything I need is with in reach. I use the vertices storage space as much as possible. I use the Michaels Jetmax and recollection cubes. They look uniformed, clean and sleek. I really like your ribbon storage. I will be looking for that unit. Thanks for sharing your very organized and creative space.
Ahhh! Love this craftroom tour. Your dog is so adorable. Lots of awesome tips. I’m a visual person too, so I like to see my supplies. For example I store all my dies on those large foam boards from dollar tree and I have a large pegboard I bought from Home Depot to store a lot of my items so I can see everything on the open. Beautiful and well organized craftroom. Big thumbs up 😊
Thank you so much! I like my pegboard but I'm too short to reach it comfortably where it is, so I will have to re-think where I place it in my new space (I switched my craft room into my loft space instead of a spare bedroom - not much bigger, but I have a TV in the loft.) I have a new storage system for my dies using ArtBin magnetic sheets but stored upright, and I'm currently in the process of a complete craft room re-do. Splurging on some Ikea furniture that arrives this weekend and I shudder at the thought of putting everything together by myself, but when I'm done I will post a new tour video! :)
I too have a tiny lil craft room! Also, like you, if it's in a drawer I won't use it...need my scrappy stuff out where I can see it. I really like that makeshift hanger that you made with a skirt hanger- great idea! And I loooooove the owl curtains!
What an amazing craft room. Thanks for all the tips on storage solutions. Your dog is so cute. One of my dogs always comes into my craft room and lies at my feet to keep me company!
Thank you so much Lisa! I've since added additional storage solutions and am thinking about moving it to a different room; will post a video once I get that accomplished :)
I love your craft room. So organized. That is the size of a craft room I like, where everything is kind of within arm reach. Feel warm and cozy...thanks for sharing.
danzorig thank you! I am redoing my craft room but have been stalled for weeks waiting on missing parts for some IKEA furniture. I’ll be putting up a video when, or should I say if, those parts ever come LOL
Thank you so much Gypsy! I got a lot of inspiration from other crafters over the years. I'm currently redoing my organization and hope to have a new video posted this summer. :)
Thank you for sharing the link to this video! What a beautiful craft room! Everything with its own space. Looks great. I would love for my things to be out where I could see them. They would get used that way. The dig for it method isn't much fun...
OMGoodness.... I just know I will view your room several more times. I loved every minute! Your space along with all your ideas are amazing. From the mini curtain hooks...love,love,love. To your space saving ideas. Even though I don’t do the same crafting as you I will definitely use many of your ideas and implement them in my design and style lab! Your companion is so sweet.....💕 The idea for cutting the shelve and raising it.....on my to do list. Thank you so much for sharing! 🌹
What a delightful video! Your dog is wonderful and your room is so organized and smart. I am so envious as I have just part of my living room for crafting. Please give your dog a big hug from me, mine died last year and I still have not gotten over her loss.
Great video, and you have truly mastered the art of maximizing space! I love your storage ideas and totally relate to things needing to be in plain view. One of these days I need to go "shopping" in some of my closed drawers to see what treasures I have buried in them!
i absolutely love your craft room, the owl curtains are fabulous and considering you have a small craft room you have it organised very well. I absolutely adore your crafting buddy,he is gorgeous and has such a handsome face.Enjoy your crafting space and Happy Crafting :)
If that's "crappy" you must have very high standards! You've really been creative with your space and utilized as much as possible without making it look crowded or messy - which is so difficult for visual crafters, who need things out in the open. You have some very good storage solutions that I haven't seen on other craft tour videos. You also gave honest and reasonable advice and tips. Thank you for making this video. 😄 BTW, your dog is so sweet and well behaved, not to mention adorable! Dog hair in my ink pads is a compromise I'd be willing to make for a sweetie like him. 💗
I just love your set up! I have a lot of the recollection cubes, but your right luv, if you can't see it you forget about and buy more of the same or just don't use. We're moving in a new house within the next month, and I want to set up my craft room right this time! I have two of the Alex shorter drawers from Ikea, now I want just the the table top to rest on those drawers. You have given a lot of good advice luv! TFS, ANGELA 💕🐾💕🐾
Thanks Angela! :) Good luck with your move! If I ever move again, it will be to a house with a large rec room so that I can set up my craft room in front of a TV, and with room enough for friends to craft with me.
Thank you! I have no overhead lights built in, so I hung a hanging lamp, have a standing lamp with two lamps on it, and also a touch lamp. I'm surprised I don't get a tan when I'm in there.
Greetings from Australia. Thanks so much for sharing your craft space and for the tips on what worked and what didn't work for you. I think your room is fabulous! You are sooooo organised, and have given me a few storage ideas! I love your gorgeous dog, and you sound like a lovely person - someone I'd love to scrap with...lol. Oh, and I love owls too -I think your curtains are super cute and not babyish at all :)
First & foremost; I LOVE your big fur baby, he made me smile! Also love how organized your craft room is; jealous, definitely not crappy! Thanks for sharing your space... ps I think Stamp-N-Storage should paint their units for folks who want the service. I liked how you explained which storage solutions worked & did not and why; very helpful, thank you!
Thanks Tammy! I told them at Stamp-n-Storage that they could name their price for a painted wood option (I think my words were "I would literally throw money at your face"). I explained that some of us live in condos with nowhere to paint. Plus, their stuff is so well made I'm afraid to paint for fear the shelves wouldn't go back in - the cuts in their wood is THAT precise. But they said they have no space to paint either. :(
I spray painted my Stamp-N-Storage ink combo unit (it is exactly like yours) white; that way I didn't have to remove the shelves. Where did I spray paint in my tiny apartment during the Winter season you might wonder? In my bathtub! Yep, I spray painted the shelf four times to be sure it was completely covered; came out beautifully! Of course, cleaning the paint from my tub after was in no way fun but I got all the paint up w/no issues. ;) If I ever need to paint again I will first cover the entire tub with newspaper and temporarily tape it down and save myself a bunch of clean up time!
From another tiny craftroom crafter, basically a small bedroom, I just love yours. Because of tiny budget constraints, lol I can see myself using your ideas. Your little craft room is cute and well organized.
Thanks! Yep, Brewgan was not in the mood LOL. He thinks when I talk for a video that I'm talking to him and can't understand why I just am not petting him already.
Great tips. My favs are removing those dividers from the drawer and taking the drawer out for storage. Love the room. I have the problem too of spending money on things that I never use, then because I spent so much money I hold onto them. I have old patterned papers from 15 years ago that are very out of style. Yet they sit in my storage cubes. Lol. Thanks for sharing!
I had the same problem. I did a big cleanup about 4 years ago and got rid of all of my old, out-of-style stamp sets and papers. Old ink pads and markers too, gave them all to my friend's granddaughter. I should have sold the stamps on ebay though.
I like your room, and your dog. The people who shoot those craft room videos that look like Steven Spielberg directed are the same people that send out those long ass boring newsletters as their Xmas cards. Anyone can buy a pre-made craft center but it takes vision and talent to make what you have. Awesome!!
I realize I'm coming in late here (2016 -> 2019) But, I think you've done an incredible job making a great space from your tiny room. Mine are tiny TOO, and I didn't manage it nearly as well as you! VERY nice! I shall bookmark this so I can come back to it the next time I have a SB Room Organization burst of energy! Thanks for sharing
I like your storage solutions, i like that you're not pretending like you figured it out since the beginning and its all "perfect". You also gave me an idea that im getting myself up for not thinking about it sooner
Thank you! Right now it is back to being in shambles. I caught a great sale with some Totally Tiffany organizers I want to incorporate, just have to sit down and do it. I spend more time organizing than crafting! :)
Your video title succeeded in drawing me in with curiosity. A crappy room? I think not. You have done an amazing job maximizing your space without compromising visual appeal.
Your owl curtains are so cute and your craft room is nice and it works for you. Mine is the same. Small area and using what I have for storage. I find I'm very ingenious in my storage solutions. It's fun figuring that stuff out.
Your craft room is anything but crappy, it's terrific. The way you've maximised the space you have available is masterful. I'm envious is all the natty storage solutions you have too. Where I live there just aren't many options and neither my hubby nor myself are much use with a saw,so making something myself is a no go. You've given me some good ideas to repurpose what have though. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Your room is great! And you have great storage solutions and I appreciate you explaining about what worked and didn't! I had a garage sale yesterday and had that spice rack for $3- no one purchased it. Love what you did with yours. Thumbs up on the video!
Love your craft room. I love when people repurpose things so it works for their craft room. I don't have a craft room. My cr is pretty much my dining table
I really like your ideas and your organized craft room. Many people would LOVE to have such a lovely room! Have you kept it this way? I realize it’s been 2 years. Thanks for sharing!
Hello! I have not kept it this way. I have a small home and the addition of a few more cutting machines triggered me to try and move this to my slightly-bigger upstairs loft, to have everything in one room but it didn't work. Wouldn't all fit. So I'm in the midst of a complete reorg and will simply have to use two rooms unfortunately. I plan on posting a video if I ever get it done - it's all in shambles right now!
Great room and very organized. Do not pay attention to nasty people that make nasty comments. They are just bullies! I love your doggie! Keep doing what you love!☺
Love ur room! You have great ideas that im gonna try to incorporate into my room. Love how you got the extra shelf from using the glass block! Brilliant! I have so many tools and such that i have no space for pretty things. Thank u! ❤️
Love the hanger with the clips. I have some clips that size from an old curtain pole and am going to try to get some embellishments out. They are in a box at the moment and as you say, if they're not out they won't get used! Thanks
Thanks - it took me years to pull it together because I kept getting overwhelmed and would just abandon efforts. Now I'm determined to keep it organized.
lol... i use the little nursery/sitting room off the master bedroom as my craftroom. the lighting sucks and everything i have is outdated. it made me smile to see another crafter with the old small (6in) cricut! lol. but all that matters is if its your happy place! a corner in the kitchen, a drawer in the bedroom pr an entire decked out, color cordinated craft room... as long as u can create and be happy... thats all that matters. 😊 i love your organization though... it reminds me alot of my own. its nice to see a REAL craftroom thats not just for show.😊 P.S. Your puppy dog is the absolute cutest!... OMG! i love that droopy face! lol. we had a english bulldog that passed away last year but she had a droopy face... those arenthe best! lol.
Just came across Your craft room tour...adorable pup & even though Your room may seem small what You've done is absolutely amazing...love the organization...love the shelving...think a small room makes it much easier for one to access anything & everything You need 💕 Happy Crafting!!! 😘
I love your 'little' puppy... and I had to sub..I couldn't stand you being at 666 subbies... that and I totally adore your craft room! How organized and my dream!!!!
Tabitha Bettencourt Tabitha, thank you so much for your sweet comment and for subscribing and getting me away from that evil number! I am redoing my craft room and hope to have a video tour of it up by Christmas.
Thanks Katherine! I'm always finding inspiration from TH-cam videos as well. I've stumbled upon some other solutions for a few things since making this video - once I get everything in place I'll do an update on a few new things. :)
Your puppy's face😙I found you when I was looking for some craft room organization ideas. I chuckled when you showed your embellishments and said other people have a tremendous amount of one to laugh, it's not so much I left as I wish that my collection was still that small, LOL. While your collect is much smaller than mine I still found a lot of really great ideas and I will love that you have your dies out and I totally agree about the big shot. Once you start using it you can't stop :-) I am in the process of doing the big reorganization myself and I appreciate you sharing this video. I mean really became the subscriber💞
Thanks Justine! Even though I have a taller work surface for my big shot and stand when I work with it, I still get a sore back when I have a lot of work to do with it.
DrunkBunny You really had me giggling 😂more than once on this and I really enjoyed this video.😃 I would love to see some videos on the types of projects you make also you have a great personality and again I can't resist that puppy' face💞
DrunkBunny awww tysm. but I just wanted to say one thing, just because you're doing a project somebody else has done on TH-cam doesn't mean you're copying..it just means your projects are " inspired by" 😊 I'm one to talk, I don't even have the guts to do a video yet, LMAO😂 well if you'd ever like to show any of your projects, I'm sure lots of us would love to see them💞
Thanks for sharing this. I had to laugh at the comment about dog hair in the stamp pad lol. I can relate because I have dog, cat, horse hair and the occasional chicken feather lol. Blessings and Hugs from Texas
clever idea with the wooden clothes peg and wine/spice rack :) love the dog and I like a lot of your room. the whole thing looks great though :) excellent use of the skirt hanger to hang the embellishments. very clever. I am certainly going to try some of these solutions in my room - thanks
Why did it never occur to me to just take those cubes apart?! lol I bought a bunch of them years ago (but in the dark brown...what was I thinking?? Oh...they were cheaper! Lol!) and they worked briefly but then just have been so cumbersome and things get lost in the drawers...also why anyone would be nasty about that wire file box I don't know. It's clever! I'm setting up a new craft/sewing space and am totally inspired now!
I love your cute little room. you have space to put all your craft supplies and you have 2 places to sit and craft. I love the ikea expecit. I have a pink one. i got mine on ikea member price. I love mine. it holds so much. every spring and winter I clean out my craft room and de-stash my stuff and give them away to my niece or friends. its a good time to look at everything i have too. you keep so organized in such a small space. I have a small craft room too. but I used the space i have. anyways cute craft room.
OMGOOSH! I have been searching searching and searching for someone to have the set up you did. I have a small room and was scared to try to set it up (on a budget of course ) until you came along. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try your setup and tips. By the way; I have dog hair in my ink pads too. lol
Love your craft room video, not crappy at all. I have Recollections Cubes for storage furniture in my craft space also. You mentioned you don't like that the "bottom" drawers don't close all the way. What I finally figured out about that issue was this: the cube itself was upside down. I know that sounds odd, because almost all of the drawers close fully. Then we get that random one that won't. It irritated my tiny bit of OCD so as a last resort after trying everything else conceivable I thought why not flip the thing. The surprise was it worked. The drawers slip right into place fully closed. Thanks for sharing your room, Hope that hint helps. I think I need to do a new room tour for 2017. Crafty hugs ~💖Goldie
Using the skirt hanger bit is completely brilliant!!!!! Love it and I love your room!!
I thoroughly enjoyed your tour - it's NOT a crappy room, it's delightful and functional. Thanks for taking the time to show us, and thanks for including your sweet dog. I, too, a a dog lover and usually have one or more under my feet in my craft room. Happy Holidays, Mary. Stay safe.
Thank you Diane! Happy holidays to you too! I've recently moved so I'm looking forward to setting up my new, super-sized craft room. I'm calling it my Ma'am Cave.
I don't know WHAT you're talking about. Your craft room is beautiful! And so well organized. Love your repurposing & creative solutions that work for YOU. Plus...I'd rather spend my $ on supplies than fancy storage.😉 Super gorgeous & inspirational. Ty so much for sharing.💖
Thank you for your kind comment Tracy! :)
I like your craft room because is well organized . Best small craft room that I have seen.
Thanks Magda!
I love love love the skirt hangar idea ! Brilliant And you are so right if it's in a drawer or hidden away you won't use it ! , love your ideas ! Also if people have nasty comments about your ideas they really should keep them to themselves , I have no time for those people ! Enjoy your Great Craft Room !!
This was one of my favorite craft organizational video for a small craft space. Great job!!
Mariposa Thank you so much for your super sweet comment! You made my day :-)
That dog 🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰 super star!!!!
I love your room and I agree with you on the storage, I need to see what I have.
Sharon Davisson thanks Sharon! 😀
Big Dog in a Tiny room! 😄 I love what you did with your space! ❤️
Thanks Keisa!
I love your crafting area! I have an even smaller space to craft and I have found some great ideas by just watching your tour! Thanks for sharing! Love your doggie too!
Lecy Bee Thanks Lecy!
Love your curtains, I love owls too. Your big, cute, adorable dog is almost as big as your fantastic little craft room! What a great space, nice to have any size space to create. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! The little dog in your profile pic is the cutest!
Looks beautiful organized and cozy thanks for sharing !
Thank you Ana!
I'm working on my room and watching for ideas...loving the hanging clip it up idea! Your room is great!
Thanks for your kind comment, Pat! Good luck with your craft room organization work. I'm in the middle of a redesign myself!
Just wanted to say I think you might be my long lost little sister. Honestly and maybe oddly you sounded like I think I'd sound if I had a craft room to tour.

I love your owl curtains! I have dog hair in my beads so my philosophy is that a little dog hair makes everything better!

I love your craft room. So organized. That is the size of a craft room I like, where everything is kind of within arm reach. Feel warm and cozy...thanks for sharing.
Meta Darmawan thanks Meta! It is nice for solo crafting; I only lament it size when I want to have two or three friends over to craft with me
Your room look cute and puppy too. Thank you gave me some great ideas. Mine craft room is a work in progress for the last 2 years.
Thanks Dawnea!
I love your craft room, it is cozy and happy💕
danzorig thank you! I am redoing my craft room but have been stalled for weeks waiting on missing parts for some IKEA furniture. I’ll be putting up a video when, or should I say if, those parts ever come LOL
Love your craft room ❤️ it's so cute and cozy awesome organization system!!! Love love love!!

Z'Nyce London Thank you so much! :-)
I love your room and your dog is awesome! I love, love, love my fur babies!
Thank you so much! Animals are just the best. I cannot imagine my life without pets. :)
What a delightful video! Your dog is wonderful and your room is so organized and smart. I am so envious as I have just part of my living room for crafting. Please give your dog a big hug from me, mine died last year and I still have not gotten over her loss.
Thanks Jeanne! We lost our little Maltipoo last fall and it is heartbreaking indeed.
So sorry for your doggy losses.
Great video, and you have truly mastered the art of maximizing space! I love your storage ideas and totally relate to things needing to be in plain view. One of these days I need to go "shopping" in some of my closed drawers to see what treasures I have buried in them!

Thank you Ann-Marie!
Love your real working room, sometimes watching the super fancy ones are just too much! This is how most of us work. Sweet puppy too.
Minute 11:02 when your dog just sat in front of the camera, OMG, I couldn't resist hehe, is sooo cute and so fluffy!!
Thanks, he's my boo. :)

Thank you Mary! :) I have redone that craft room 3 times. I really like how it's turned out this time.
I don't think you have the crappiest craft room. You gave great advice. Thank you for your video.
Thanks Carrie! I got a lot of ideas from other craft room tour videos.
Your pup is gorgeous. I love huge pups. ❤️
Thank you Sarah! He is snoring loudly right now. :)
Any room where your dog can join you is the perfect size. 🐶
I think so too!
I just love your set up! I have a lot of the recollection cubes, but your right luv, if you can't see it you forget about and buy more of the same or just don't use. We're moving in a new house within the next month, and I want to set up my craft room right this time! I have two of the Alex shorter drawers from Ikea, now I want just the the table top to rest on those drawers. You have given a lot of good advice luv! TFS, ANGELA 💕🐾💕🐾

I love your room! I want your curtains!
Toni Simpson thanks Toni
I love your craft room thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching!
This is a darling little room. Great job, good ideas. You are very fortunate to have a space with good lighting as well.
Thank you! I have no overhead lights built in, so I hung a hanging lamp, have a standing lamp with two lamps on it, and also a touch lamp. I'm surprised I don't get a tan when I'm in there.
Loved your tour. You have been so clever organizing your space. I love your dog! Happy Crafting.
Love your craft space. Thanx for sharing. Love, love,love the owl curtain!!!
Thank you very much :)
Great craftroom! I love your furbaby supervisor! So glad to have found your channel!
Thank you Cat! :)
I think your room is fantastic! I am always changing my stuff for something I think will work better, just like you. I love it!
Thank you Kathy! :)

Thank you - you are very sweet!
From another tiny craftroom crafter, basically a small bedroom, I just love yours. Because of tiny budget constraints, lol I can see myself using your ideas. Your little craft room is cute and well organized.
Thank you! I got so many ideas watching other craft room tours. :)
Love the dog. He looks at the camera saying " Really, do we have to do this now, oh ok. He's adorable.
Thanks! Yep, Brewgan was not in the mood LOL. He thinks when I talk for a video that I'm talking to him and can't understand why I just am not petting him already.
Great tips. My favs are removing those dividers from the drawer and taking the drawer out for storage. Love the room. I have the problem too of spending money on things that I never use, then because I spent so much money I hold onto them. I have old patterned papers from 15 years ago that are very out of style. Yet they sit in my storage cubes. Lol. Thanks for sharing!
I had the same problem. I did a big cleanup about 4 years ago and got rid of all of my old, out-of-style stamp sets and papers. Old ink pads and markers too, gave them all to my friend's granddaughter. I should have sold the stamps on ebay though.
Nice trick showing a cute dog right away, who can resist a like but your craftroom is nice too as is your voice too.
Thank you so much! My pets have always been the center of my world :)
I like your room, and your dog. The people who shoot those craft room videos that look like Steven Spielberg directed are the same people that send out those long ass boring newsletters as their Xmas cards. Anyone can buy a pre-made craft center but it takes vision and talent to make what you have. Awesome!!
Thank you so much! And I snorted at the newsletter line LMAO!
DrunkBunny you know it's true....😁
I realize I'm coming in late here (2016 -> 2019) But, I think you've done an incredible job making a great space from your tiny room. Mine are tiny TOO, and I didn't manage it nearly as well as you! VERY nice! I shall bookmark this so I can come back to it the next time I have a SB Room Organization burst of energy! Thanks for sharing
Your kind comment made my day - thank you so much! :)
I like your storage solutions, i like that you're not pretending like you figured it out since the beginning and its all "perfect". You also gave me an idea that im getting myself up for not thinking about it sooner
Thank you! Right now it is back to being in shambles. I caught a great sale with some Totally Tiffany organizers I want to incorporate, just have to sit down and do it. I spend more time organizing than crafting! :)
I actually love the owl window coverings! Great organization- I'm the same about needing to see what I have! Debbie
l really like your room. Doesn't look small. You are very organized . I'm jealous TFS
Thanks Jennifer :)
Your video title succeeded in drawing me in with curiosity. A crappy room? I think not. You have done an amazing job maximizing your space without compromising visual appeal.
Your owl curtains are so cute and your craft room is nice and it works for you. Mine is the same. Small area and using what I have for storage. I find I'm very ingenious in my storage solutions. It's fun figuring that stuff out.
OMG, Such a Beautiful Handsome Dog, I could just watch him all day!
Thanks Katherine! He has his own Facebook page: facebook.com/Brewgan
Your craft room is anything but crappy, it's terrific. The way you've maximised the space you have available is masterful. I'm envious is all the natty storage solutions you have too. Where I live there just aren't many options and neither my hubby nor myself are much use with a saw,so making something myself is a no go. You've given me some good ideas to repurpose what have though. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Thank you Annie! I think the Ikea Kallax shelving units are available through catalog order too :)
Quilting vedios
I love the owl curtains! Great use of space.
Thanks April!
Great room! Thank you for showing us your wonderful space
Thank you! :)
Mama why do you put yourself down? your a wonderful person.
Some really great tips thank you
Your room is great! And you have great storage solutions and I appreciate you explaining about what worked and didn't! I had a garage sale yesterday and had that spice rack for $3- no one purchased it. Love what you did with yours. Thumbs up on the video!
sudmorris thanks! And now you know you could sell your spice rack on eBay for $19
I have just fallen madly in love with your gorgeous furry pal... oh and thanks for the skirt hanger tip!
Thank you! (Brewgan thanks you too!)
Love your craft room. I love when people repurpose things so it works for their craft room. I don't have a craft room. My cr is pretty much my dining table
Thanks Christina! If I used my dining table for crafts, my dog would drool on everything because he's taller than the table! ;)
thanks for sharing this, pro video or not! I have several of these types of organizers and a lot of the same tools so this was very helpful
Thanks Tammy! :)
Great ideas. I like the felt feet solution. Way to go!
Thanks Mary :)
Crappy? No way! Loved your studio, your tips, and your Mr. Pooch! TFS😊
Dana M Thank you Dana!
I really like your ideas and your organized craft room. Many people would LOVE to have such a lovely room! Have you kept it this way? I realize it’s been 2 years.
Thanks for sharing!
Hello! I have not kept it this way. I have a small home and the addition of a few more cutting machines triggered me to try and move this to my slightly-bigger upstairs loft, to have everything in one room but it didn't work. Wouldn't all fit. So I'm in the midst of a complete reorg and will simply have to use two rooms unfortunately. I plan on posting a video if I ever get it done - it's all in shambles right now!
Great room and very organized. Do not pay attention to nasty people that make nasty comments. They are just bullies! I love your doggie! Keep doing what you love!☺
GLENDA MENENDEZ thanks Glenda!
Love ur room! You have great ideas that im gonna try to incorporate into my room. Love how you got the extra shelf from using the glass block! Brilliant! I have so many tools and such that i have no space for pretty things. Thank u! ❤️
Thank you very much! :) Ihave to make a new video this year. I've outgrown the room, it's bursting!
Love the hanger with the clips. I have some clips that size from an old curtain pole and am going to try to get some embellishments out. They are in a box at the moment and as you say, if they're not out they won't get used! Thanks
Adorable craft room! I wish I had a craft room like yours, fabulous organized! And LOVE your furry friend:-)
Thanks - it took me years to pull it together because I kept getting overwhelmed and would just abandon efforts. Now I'm determined to keep it organized.
lol... i use the little nursery/sitting room off the master bedroom as my craftroom. the lighting sucks and everything i have is outdated. it made me smile to see another crafter with the old small (6in) cricut! lol. but all that matters is if its your happy place! a corner in the kitchen, a drawer in the bedroom pr an entire decked out, color cordinated craft room... as long as u can create and be happy... thats all that matters. 😊 i love your organization though... it reminds me alot of my own. its nice to see a REAL craftroom thats not just for show.😊
P.S. Your puppy dog is the absolute cutest!... OMG! i love that droopy face! lol. we had a english bulldog that passed away last year but she had a droopy face... those arenthe best! lol.
Thanks Jennifer! Ugh, lighting - I have four lamps and an Ott light and I still feel I could use more.
Love your space and LOVE the ow! Curtains
Your room isn't crappy at all. So organized !
Just came across Your craft room tour...adorable pup & even though Your room may seem small what You've done is absolutely amazing...love the organization...love the shelving...think a small room makes it much easier for one to access anything & everything You need 💕
Happy Crafting!!! 😘
I love your 'little' puppy... and I had to sub..I couldn't stand you being at 666 subbies... that and I totally adore your craft room! How organized and my dream!!!!
Tabitha Bettencourt Tabitha, thank you so much for your sweet comment and for subscribing and getting me away from that evil number! I am redoing my craft room and hope to have a video tour of it up by Christmas.
@@MarysMaamCave I look forward to it! We're building a house with a craft room in it.... I love your ideas!!!
Tabitha Bettencourt ooh! I hope you do a craft room tour when you’re all moved in!
It's not crappy at all. A lovely and well organised space x
It looks like a great sized room to me. I have a desk in the corner of the bedroom with stash taking up more storage than clothes etc. 😂
Awsome room! I'm all for repurposed storage. I will be using a few of your examples in my room. Thank you
Thanks Katherine! I'm always finding inspiration from TH-cam videos as well. I've stumbled upon some other solutions for a few things since making this video - once I get everything in place I'll do an update on a few new things. :)
Your puppy's face😙I found you when I was looking for some craft room organization ideas. I chuckled when you showed your embellishments and said other people have a tremendous amount of one to laugh, it's not so much I left as I wish that my collection was still that small, LOL. While your collect is much smaller than mine I still found a lot of really great ideas and I will love that you have your dies out and I totally agree about the big shot. Once you start using it you can't stop :-) I am in the process of doing the big reorganization myself and I appreciate you sharing this video. I mean really became the subscriber💞
Thanks Justine! Even though I have a taller work surface for my big shot and stand when I work with it, I still get a sore back when I have a lot of work to do with it.
DrunkBunny You really had me giggling 😂more than once on this and I really enjoyed this video.😃 I would love to see some videos on the types of projects you make also you have a great personality and again I can't resist that puppy' face💞
Thanks! Right now I'm mostly copying other projects on youtube to learn, but I hope to someday have project videos. :) I just hugged Brewgan for you.
DrunkBunny awww tysm. but I just wanted to say one thing, just because you're doing a project somebody else has done on TH-cam doesn't mean you're copying..it just means your projects are " inspired by" 😊 I'm one to talk, I don't even have the guts to do a video yet, LMAO😂 well if you'd ever like to show any of your projects, I'm sure lots of us would love to see them💞
I'm a visual person like you - if I had the space I would have everything out. Congrats on the organisation.
Thanks Penny!
Thanks for sharing this. I had to laugh at the comment about dog hair in the stamp pad lol. I can relate because I have dog, cat, horse hair and the occasional chicken feather lol. Blessings and Hugs from Texas
Sheila Langeslay Thanks Sheila!
Thank you for a great tour! A suggestion for the accessibility of the bottom ink pads is to add washi tabs to the lip so you can pull it out.
Great idea, and cute too - I'm absolutely going to do that! Thanks!
I loved your craftroom... and your dog is really beautiful. Amazing.
Wonderful craft room & great ideas!
Thanks Karen!
clever idea with the wooden clothes peg and wine/spice rack :) love the dog and I like a lot of your room. the whole thing looks great though :) excellent use of the skirt hanger to hang the embellishments. very clever. I am certainly going to try some of these solutions in my room - thanks
Thanks Glenda :)
Why did it never occur to me to just take those cubes apart?! lol I bought a bunch of them years ago (but in the dark brown...what was I thinking?? Oh...they were cheaper! Lol!) and they worked briefly but then just have been so cumbersome and things get lost in the drawers...also why anyone would be nasty about that wire file box I don't know. It's clever! I'm setting up a new craft/sewing space and am totally inspired now!
Thanks Elisabeth! It took me several years to realize, "Oh, I can just take out the drawers!" :)
Great craft room!!! And I love your dog.
Thanks! He's my boo.
I love your cute little room. you have space to put all your craft supplies and you have 2 places to sit and craft. I love the ikea expecit. I have a pink one. i got mine on ikea member price. I love mine. it holds so much. every spring and winter I clean out my craft room and de-stash my stuff and give them away to my niece or friends. its a good time to look at everything i have too. you keep so organized in such a small space. I have a small craft room too. but I used the space i have. anyways cute craft room.
Your craft room is beautiful and so cozy!
Love your stamp/marker piece. Great space!
Thank you!
I love your craft room! I am working hard to get mine to be half as nice and organized as you! TFS
I love your craft room!!! Is so organized, I want my craft room like yours 😭😭😭. Congratulations❤🌹
Thank you! But I have to be honest - it stayed that organized for about 5 nanoseconds and is now back into chaos! :)
OMGOOSH! I have been searching searching and searching for someone to have the set up you did. I have a small room and was scared to try to set it up (on a budget of course ) until you came along. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try your setup and tips. By the way; I have dog hair in my ink pads too. lol
Thanks! Your dog in your profile pic is super cute! :)
Love your craft room video, not crappy at all. I have Recollections Cubes for storage furniture in my craft space also. You mentioned you don't like that the "bottom" drawers don't close all the way. What I finally figured out about that issue was this: the cube itself was upside down. I know that sounds odd, because almost all of the drawers close fully. Then we get that random one that won't. It irritated my tiny bit of OCD so as a last resort after trying everything else conceivable I thought why not flip the thing. The surprise was it worked. The drawers slip right into place fully closed. Thanks for sharing your room, Hope that hint helps. I think I need to do a new room tour for 2017.
Crafty hugs ~💖Goldie
Thanks for the tip on the cubes!
