Craft Room Tour 2019 - After

[@plethoraofpaper6388]

I love your craft room...especially your drawer for your granddaughter. I have a three year old and I am going to copy this idea as I think he will love it! Thank you. Mary

[@debbywilson327]

You have an absolutely organized studio. You think like I do in my organization. I like using quality materials for organizing and for making a lot of paper crafting, but also use oil, acrylic and learning watercolor my art. My room needs some personality though, but I’m working on it. I do crocheting as well as coloring. That’s a lot of hobbies to put in an 11x 13 room! All of that isn’t so bad until I start decorating the house for a holiday. Then it’s crazy time. My husband said he would give me $100 to stop bringing silk flowers into our home. I should have taken it. Lol

[@rosemarysurockart2111]

I enjoyed your craft room tour. TFS. Have a wonderful week. 💚💚💚

[@Myrosieday]

Hi Cindy, YES I did hear angels singing! Lovely space, as you said it doesn’t stay clean that long lol. I definitely see some craftiness happening here! I love the little table, I have one for my granddaughter too, started her young and she is my craft buddy. Isn’t that the best... TFS, Mary

[@dawns1017]

Super organized. I enjoy the esthetics of all the organization by color. But the thing I admire most is your generosity in sharing your very special space with your granddaughter. Only a super loving grandma would be willing to share her craft storage area.

[@jccrew2]

Aw, what a sweet thing to say. It is such a beautiful gift to get to spend so much time with my granddaughters. I know not everyone has that opportunity; so I don't want to waste a single moment. 💗

[@leighb446]

I truly enjoyed your before & after videos! I think you are correct about clutter hampering creativity. I love the idea of repurposing things and putting the most used items accessible from where you sit while crafting. You inspired me to take the tidying challenge and I actually made visible progress today in my craft space. Bravo! Thank you for sharing!

[@jccrew2]

Thank you, Leigh! I've been on such a repurposing mission lately. So often in the past I've spent $$ on organizing items that just didn't work. I'm being much more particular these days. My husband & my wallet appreciate that very much! Haha!

[@sugarbaby1954]

Love your new room. I have been working to purge and organising my sewing, craft, bedroom, bath rooms upstairs. I will wait until spring to do the down stairs. Love a completely clean house in the spring. 💓 Love how your furniture is white and clean. So happy for you. Have fun in your new room, and with your granddaughter.💖💖💖🙋‍♀️

[@teresadoyle1396]

A well organized room Cindy, I love your little craft space for your grand daughter. I have a craft space in my room for my two little grandsons (5 & 7) and they LOVE it. Nothing keeps me motivated more than a clean and organized space to craft in.

[@jccrew2]

Thank you, Teresa! I agree! Having things in order makes it so much easier for me to create. 💙

[@LindaParkerTutorials]

I don't understand all the thumbs down (negative keyboard trolls) - it's a perfect craft space and so beautifully organised and inspiring. TYFS :)

[@andreajohnsMyPotteryBliss]

Oooooo, Ahhhhhh! Lovely space. What a great space for you and your granddaughter to bliss out on creating.

[@dgmlmax]

I heard the angels too! Lol. Your room is fantastic. It’s so sweet that you have everything set up for your granddaughter too. I love the rainbow of buttons in the jar.

[@jccrew2]

Thank you! Grandchildren are the best! ❤️

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing. So organized and inspiring, what a great way to start the year!

Love your room. Very realistic! Like...I could work here and afford to create it. Beautiful and Functional!

[@tanyademillo8695]

Wonderful job organizing! Your room is perfect!

[@cherylscrivens3560]

Oh, wow! Cindy, what you've accomplished in a single week is amazing, and I love it all! Thanks for inspiring us all with your purging and reorganizing and making things pretty! Love it and need to do more myself -- especially giving away. Hugs! xoxo

[@jccrew2]

Thank you so much, sweet Cheryl! The giving away part is just so FREEING, and it's fun to see your neglected things go to someone who will use them. {{{hugs}}}} 🤗

[@cherylscrivens3560]

So true, Cindy! I have given a LOT of stamps away and still have way more. And I've given a lot to our church card ministry and need to get more there! Lots of purging to do, but I know it will be such a blessing to others and free me! ((hugs)) back!

[@jccrew2]

@@cherylscrivens3560 love that! Such a beautiful thing to do! 💜

[@petmomful2260]

Your room is pretty, and very organized.

[@staceylovespaper]

I love your space!!! You did a beautiful job rearranging and organizing your stash. I love KonMari and like how you had your "JOY" items displayed. Your rainbow button jar has me wishing I had kept my stash of buttons and did that, it is beautiful. I also really like your idea of taking apart the black hardware bin and using just the drawer parts to sort your stuff in your craft table. I had to watch it twice to figure it out. Your space is perfect! Any bigger and a person risks having so much stuff their brain gets swamped with ideas and nothing gets made. Another crafter mentioned this happening to her. As long as you make your space your own, as you did, it is the perfect size!!thanks so much!!

[@jccrew2]

Thank you, Stacey! Yes, I completely forgot to mention that I took that hardware bin apart & used the little drawers as dividers for little items. Good eye! I used to be in a larger room in our home, and it was just too big. This one seems to be just right for my needs. 🙂 Have a great day!

[@stinaswansonakagiddygurl6720]

Beautiful space! I super love the rainbow buttons on display!

[@jccrew2]

Thank you, Stina! 💚

[@dimcnally4864]

Thanks for sharing. My art studio is being redecorated at the moment. Then, I will be reorganising. I have a bunch of new ikea furniture and storage containers, along with fridge bins etc. You room looks beautiful, enjoy your time with your granddaughter/s . Love Di from U.K.

[@jccrew2]

Thank you so much! 💚

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

This Craft Room looks AMAZING, great job!!! Thanks for sharing, I got several wonderful ideas too!

[@heidischoller4616]

Oh Cindy, I am so jealous! I have been looking at so many "craft room tour" videos since January as I have recently reclaimed one of the bedrooms in the house as my craft room. I am using crutches at the moment to get around with so I feel I have a bit more of a challenge when trying to figure out how to set up my room and what cupboards, shelving, etc, to use, to set up my room. That and I am unemployed right now, so the less money I use to set up my room, but that it still looks swish, the more I have left over to buy goodies :-) I love the little table and chairs you have for your granddaughter! So cute! Thank you for doing this video. I have seen a lot of rooms, which are to die for, but are nothing like mine *chuckles* But your room has given me some good ideas that suit my needs and wants the best. I wish I could clone your room and transport it to Australia! Thanks again Cindy :-)

[@Linda-qq5mg]

Your craft room is so well organized and beautiful! I subscribed several videos back and am so glad to have found you once again!

[@vjowell]

Love your craft room. I’m going to tape mine too. Have never posted anything on KZbin. You have inspired me! Be blessed.

[@karensimon6512]

Your craft room is soon organized. Love it!

[@jccrew2]

Thank you, Karen! 💚

[@NitrosMom074]

Oh how I wish I could afford to have a space like yours. I do have my own craft space, but I have an old kitchen table to work on and only open shelving to store things on. It always looks cluttered. My dream would be to have all the drawers you have! Beautiful job!

[@jccrew2]

Oh, I wish you lived near me. I'd love to come check out your space & help you figure out ways to clear the cluttered look. I have had a much larger studio, as well as a much tinier studio (closet, really); so I've had lots of practice making different sized spaces work for me. Thank you for your sweet comment, and good luck with your space! 💙

[@carbooth49]

Wow Cindy room looks great.

[@vicki8042]

love your cards, very talented.

[@suzpain]

Love it!!!! Where did you find that magazine rack? It looks perfect for sewing patterns.

[@MistyElam]

Beautiful craft room!! I really enjoyed watching this. I’m gearing up for an IKEA trip to update my craft room and hopefully do one of these tour videos but I need to do some major, major purging. LOL this is very inspiring. TFS

[@jccrew2]

Thank you so much, Misty! 💚

[@ellenhofer3343]

When we downsizedfrom 2200 sq ft to 1500 I had to do some very serious downsizing in 2016. Going through stacks of paper I found some from the 1990s when I was a Creative Memories consultanf! I also realized I wasn't using any of my papers & always went out to buy new papers for current project. Now I have a small collecyion of solid papers and a very small amount if patterned paoers and 4-5 oads if 12x12. I had lots of stamp sets,most of which I hadn't even opened from 19 years ago or so. I sorted through them and kept one or 2 sers for each season and some sentinent sets. I also got rid of nearly all my buttons. I had them in jars, plastic boxes, ckear zipper pouches (that I made). Now, if I need bottons I just buy what I need. I donated to a childcare center & azad senior day care center, both of which were very appreciative.

[@Tazzeasi]

Hi... I just had to sub you after seeing your super organized craft room, lol. I am forever tidying and re-organizing my craft space and still I can't get it just right. I do like your ideas with putting things in rainbow colours to make you happy, I think I should try it. Your room is very inspirational, tfs, x

[@jenm1874]

I’d like to know that as well....8 mos. later but just now saw this video!

[@ellenhofer3343]

Very nice Question: how do you get to items in that far corner behind the 'island' ?

[@sandradee5513]

I love love love your craft room! I just subscribed and I can't wait to watch more of your videos, you have def inspired me to get more organized. I'm a brand new crafter so I am always interested in seeing what works for other people and seeing if they could work for me as well. Unfortunately I do not have room for a dedicated craft space so I am forced to use bins and containers for most of my stuff :( so I am wondering, where did you find the green and turquoise tins on the shelf around the 8 min 30 second mark???? I LOVE THEM!!!! O yeah just a suggestion I have for you...anything you need to get rid of you can always send my way and I will def put it to good use! LOL ;) Keep the videos coming.

Shared this to the Konmari craft support group. If you’re interested in sorting your papers I’d recommend the get organised challenge group and Totally Tiffany's GOC KZbin videos. If you thought you had an organised room, you’ll be blown out of the water after watching them!

[@jccrew2]

Thank you, Andrea! I will check out the group. I've already sorted the papers (mostly donated); but I'm looking forward to perusing those videos with a nice cuppa jo!

Just gorgeous! May I ask where you found your camera mount? & do you find this style preferable to a tripod? Thank you!

[@jccrew2]

My camera mount is from Arkon, and I LOVE it! I have a tripod also; but this is much sturdier, has more options for camera placement, and also allows me to have my iPad mounted as well. It's a great product!

What are the drawer dividers made of? Where did you get them? They make your drawers so neat and organized! 😎

[@jccrew2]

Most of those little drawer dividers came from the black hardware bin I had sitting on the counter (you can see it in my before video). I just tossed the black piece & used the drawers. I'm on a mission to not only declutter & organize, but also to spend as little $$ in the process as I can. It's so easy to buy a bunch of organizing bins, boxes, etc; but I really wanted to use what I already had kicking around. Repurpose, baby! 😁The "built-in" drawer dividers came from a company called Jetmax, which also makes cube storage. Thank you for your question!

[@CurlyQScrapper]

Love your new space! What is the podcast you referred to? Looking for an alternative to watching tv

[@jccrew2]

Thank you! They are called True Crime podcasts. Some of the content is pretty heavy; so I switch it up with some lighter content in between. 🤗

[@CurlyQScrapper]

I like listening to them as well. I just didn't know if there were any particular ones you listen to. I'm currently listening to the teacher's pet. My favorites are probably true crime profile and sword and scale.

[@jccrew2]

What did you do with all the items you no longer use? I purged enough supplies to open a store! I donated some to our schools and community center but they were picky and only took a small amount. Thought about holding a sale but I know everything will be picked through and left in a mess. Don’t want to throw it away.

That is my Carl 18" heavy duty rotary trimmer. That thing is a beast! I've had it for many years, use it constantly, and I've changed the blade ONCE (last week in fact). It cuts many sheets of cardstock at a time too. I don't know how I ever lived without it. 😁

Well Done! QUESTION? What is your island and desk...IKEA or something else? Name and link would be greatly appreciated! Son just got married...Hello New Craft room!

[@jccrew2]

Thank you, Rebecca! The drawers and desk area were all custom made by a local cabinet maker. Similar items can be found at IKEA & Go-Organize.com. The island is made using 9-cube storage units from target.com, and the top is a hollow core door from Home Depot. That whole thing cost me under $100, and it's been serving me beautifully for well over 15 years. Congratulations on your son's marriage and your upcoming new craft room!!! So much excitement! 🙌🏻

[@whimsyfox]

This is one of the best room transformations I’ve ever seen. Gorgeous bright, clean space! I moved over a year ago from a room I had for 10 years into one that is 3 times bigger, and had fun getting it all settled in, and now I’m in the “organize drawers and pretty it up” phase. Got some good ideas for a few areas from this. (I’m a scrapbooked not card maker, so adapting). I am curious, you seemed to have gotten rid of a ton of stuff. Did you straight up chuck it/donate it, or did you store in deep storage somewhere? Again, lovely room!!!

[@jccrew2]

Thank you so much! I did get rid of a ton of stuff! I went into full-on "does this bring me joy" mode, and got rid of anything I couldn't answer with a "yes". I donated most of it to friends & local teachers, nursing homes, etc. I love the idea of "deep storage"...haha! That is exactly what I am avoiding these days! 😁
