nice + tidy.
This past weekend was all about deep cleaning my spare bedroom and getting rid of as much of my craft supply as possible. I am happy to report…mission accomplished! Here it is in it’s finest form:
Okay, so it’s not exactly HGTV-worthy, but it’s totally functional in keeping the majority of my supplies hidden away in the closet.
In order to maximize the most of the closet, I hung two shoe organizers to store all my embellishments, either by stacking in a pile or storing in a box.
One whole shelf (…and maybe a box below…eek!) hold all my Thickers + other letter stickers. What can I say, I love my alphas!
IKEA shelves, all neat + tidy.
Hallway into the spare room.
View of the desk from the hallway…
…and from the other side.
Where I keep my Autumn Eleven book + little scraps to go with it.
3400 yards of bakers twine and several thousand tickets…excessive much? Why yes! Ha! But I do love the color they bring to my desk!
And here are the bags + bags of my supplies that are going! Now they just need to leave the building and I will really feel accomplished!
P.S. All these photos were taken with my DSLR, which I haven’t used in…forever! I’ve been all about the iPhone + Instagram combo for so long, I forgot how much I love using a real camera and doing the whole upload/edit/blog shebang. It’s good to be back!

I love love love LOVE your craft room! It might not be HGTV-worthy, but it is neat, clean, tidy, and well-organized! And I would love to play in there! 😀
Questions:
1) What is that desk? I love it!
2) What are you doing with the craft supplies?
Ann-Marie – you are an inspiration. I, too, love all the color. You are a proud addition to our family! P.S. – whoever gets the craft leftovers will be very lucky. xoxo
looks fabulous!

Yeah. Do what do you do with your “stuff”? give to family? friends? or return to AC? Just curious ; )
@Sierra @Clara: I haven’t actually decided what I’m going to do with my supplies. I can’t imagine just dropping them off at the local thrift store because I feel like they should go to people who would love to have them. Any ideas? 🙂
[…] put together some of my own kits. It was so much fun going through my stash (especially now that I know where everything is!) and putting together different papers, journaling spots, Thickers, stamps, etc. The whole […]
😀 Oh boy, do I have ideas! 😉 Want my address? lol Or you could do giveaways….or find out if there is a local organization whose participants would like to scrapbook, like Boys and Girls club or a young mother’s group or senior citizens.
I love your craft room, so organized though there’s still piles of things here and there..
by the way, I saw rolls of tickets, where did you get them? so cute!!
I hope you don’t mind sharing 🙂
Have a great day!
Hi Jeanne! Thanks so much for your kind words! I bought the tickets at a party store in Utah called Zurchers (pretty sure they have an online store too!). Hope this helps! (:
