Let’s snoop!

September 22, 2011 12 Comments
Ok, now that you have seen our craft/playroom, I am opening the drawers and showing you how I store all of my goodies!

I found this wire rack thingy at the flea market for $5!
After a little spray paint, it was ready to hold my fabric scraps!
Love it!

This coat rack from the 90% off isle Hobby Lobby is perfect for displaying a few of my Ruffled Scarves!

And my ribbon and ruffle scraps live in these fun little buckets that I found at Hobby Lobby for less than $1! Fun and functional!

I found this at the local thrift store for $5! It was brown and super ugly until I attacked it with some paint and sand paper! Now it is one of my favorite pieces in our playroom!
(don’t worry! – The full transformation will be shared soon)

Craft supplies can be used as decor if stored in a pretty way!
I just love the pops of color it adds to this room!

Here is a peek into Cliff’s Homeschool drawer!

…and this is my JIAD Shipping drawer!
(I need to restock my supplies – thanks to YOU!)

Inside the top drawer of  my sewing desk lives a bunch of neatly folded fabric!
This makes me smile everytime I open it!

And in the second drawer are my ribbons!

I cut dow rods the width of the drawer so they would sit on the little lip and hold my spools of ribbon!
This can be done with any drawer!
If there is no “lip” inside the drawer then add a little piece of wood along the insides of the drawer for the dow rods to sit on!

And because I am sooo nice, I will even show you the inside of my desk drawer!

With a little imagination and work, anything can become a functional, but pretty storage option for your crafts!

You just gotta think outside the box!

    This is so fun! I can't even begin to tell you how much fun I would have creating with all of your stuff! And you are one organized gal–I admire that! Lovely job!

    Gorgeous! And so well organised, but I'd love to know, do the kids ever get into the drawers? (like mine do?) And what deterrent do you use?!

    loved snooping :) I love all of your organization! Everything has a place and such a cute place at that. I love that you added dowels to your drawers for the ribbon. Great thinking. I have a spot in a hall closet that I finally organized and now has a spot for all of my MFTM shipping…such a great idea to have a drawer for that. If I had more drawer space, I'd do the same. If i could get my hands on some of your fabric, then it'd be a really great day ;)

    Your space is so great for craft organizing inspiration which is what I need now. I've been trying to save jars and my husband keeps on throwing them out. I tell him I need them and he says for what? I said I just do. lol Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Natalie! I need to get my creative space up and functional again (It got turned into the baby's room for a while with all my stuff stacked in the corner. I love your organisational skills! :) Thanks for letting me snoop! :)
