We moved in to this beautiful and tiny condo almost 2 years ago and my craft space has jumped around from the hall closet to my daughters bedroom closet to the garage and so on. It hasn't been very conducive for being creative if ya' know what I mean. PLUS, I had to haul everything in to the kitchen and set up shop on my kitchen table which usually left me very little room to actually create ANYTHING! What I was left with was a tiny portion of my table to turn out cards, scrapbook pages and so on.
D is a carpenter, which in this case was not a good thing for me because we would sit down and start to draw up this master closet with stuff that wheeled out and a table that flipped open, etc. and it got a little overwhelming. I wouldn't be able to handle all the decisions and we would put it off. A couple weeks later, we would do that dance all over again. So, finally the other day I just said, "Ya' know what? Give me some shelves and that's all I really need." Boy, was I right. The very next day, he walked through the door with shelves and got to installing them. That night, all of the ideas for my new craft closet were mulling around and I'll admit it, I was giddy. Take a look.
Before
After
I went to Target (love,love, love) and got all these awesome storage boxes. They had a ton to choose from. It must be because of school starting and all the college stuff they have right now. I also picked up a couple things from the dollar section and Voila! Oh, I also got the over-the-door shoe thing from Target. I made sure to get a clear one so I could see all of my punches with ease. Here are some more pictures with details.
Well, there it is. My new love.
I'm linked up HERE, and don't forget to join in on the fun! :)

I love your closet. One of my favorite things to organize with is the over the door shoe organizer. Thanks for linking to We're Organized Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteYour closet looks fabulous! I like the idea of the shoe organizer for punches. Makes me want to go attack the unorganized side of my craft area!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I'm so happy that this inspired some of you to tackle that area that might have been lacking a little organization. It really is doable and way more functional! :)
