Craft Room Tour MOVING DAY / Let's Rearrange the Furniture and Organize my Craft Room

[@lindabosico835]

Wow so much work, great job. It looks great. Happy crafting.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Linda, yes, lots of work and so well worth it. I honestly think my room is how I want it. I always say, "I'm not changing anything around, I love it" Kinda like when you purchase a new car and say "I love this so much, I'll never purchase another. I'm going to drive this into the ground and it'll last for many many years" 🤣🤣🤣 Yup, I'm sure years down the road I'll be changing things up, but it depends on what my back is tell me. 🙈 Have a great week and thanks again for stopping by to see all the chaos. xo

[@ladyknu-knu9906]

Everything looks wonderful. Anybody would glad to work in the space that you have now.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Lady Knu-Knu ... thank you so much for your very nice and kind comment regarding my craft room. I appreciate you stopping in and taking a look around. Have a wonderful day and upcoming weekend.

[@juliaarmato3984]

Bravo! Looks great! Now when you're ready to get started again you will feel sooo refreshed. Nice job. God bless 💐

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I agree, Julia. I now need a couple weeks to make a master list of where I put it all. 🤣🤣 Thanks for joining me and blessings to you as well. xo 🥰

[@carollaws838]

great space Barbie, you have such great stuff there xx

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Carol. I cleared off the entertainment center so your journals have a special spot, because your work is so special. xoxoxo I hope you and hubby are feeling better. Pre op appt today and big surgery tomorrow 😬 I'll be in touch after and when I'm sober to let you know how it all went. xo

[@scubajenn5]

I thank you for showing the before and after! I LOVE how personal your room is!! You have vintage and new mixed together and you have many treasures on display!! ❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I appreciate you stopping by to take a look. I am very blessed to have a wonderful space, and I'm sure your space is lovely as well. Have a wonderful weekend! 🤗🌼🤗

[@PixieKDesigns]

Oh wow big job. You have done such a good job of sorting your room. Looks fantastic. ❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks so much Kate, now I can really display my beautiful journal you created. xoxo

[@susanstemmet607]

What a pleasure it must be to have a room like that with all your supplies on hand. I do not have many supplies but just have to keep them in two separate cupboards. You have however given me inspiration to sort them out and maybe that will help me to start doing some crafting again.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Please do that, Susan. Organizining is the best. I have 2 small cupboards for my baking supplies and I reorganized before holiday baking. Oh my ......... the expired items I tossed. Old Mother Hubbard's cupboards are now bare but, that doesn't mean I'll restock, that would add pounds. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Have a wonderful day.

[@itearpaper]

My, my what a lot of stuff you have! But you did a great job organizing it all! It's so much easier to be productive when everything is in order. I'm pretty organized, I just need a bigger desk. On the look out for one to add to the one I have ....we'll see what I come up with! 😊

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Christine, it's been 25, going on 26 years of buying. When you have twin boys and have been scrapbooking 2 books at the same time, one tends to buy double. It all adds up. For the past couple years I'm using everything I have, other than making a very small purchase here and there for inks, stamps, etc. Good luck on the desk such. I know lots of gals make purchases at IKEA and they like what they pick out. My desk came from Ballard Design back in 1997 and I love it. Have a great day and happy crafting ✂️🩷🎨 xo

[@keciadickson392]

Excellent reorganizing Barbie. Keep us updated if it works better and or any changes you make etc....it looks great & functional my friend. 👍

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks, Sunny. Did you obtain a larger room when you moved? You have so much more than I do and then I send you that big box of love? Oh my ........ thanks for stopping by sweetie. xo 🥰🥰🥰

[@nafeesaebrahim1936]

Hi Barbie......what an organized craft room......it looks great......I particularly liked your family photos.....your Mom was beautiful😊

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Nafeesa ........ thank you so much for coming along to see how chaotic I make things for myself. 🤣🤣 Yes, my mom was very pretty; she never thought so. After all the chaos, I do have a very organized room and need familiarize myself with it now. Have a blessed day my friend and happy crafting. 🥰 xo

[@olderendirt]

It looks really nice finished. Thanks for sharing this.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

You are very welcome. I wanted to share to help others in their room adventures.

[@csk5654]

Love your craft room! You did an amazing job reorganizing it. TYFS Cindy

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much! I feel good now and can't wait until February hits !! xoxo

[@melodiepeck655]

Your room is wonderful Barbie! Being organized is really a part of my creativity and its always fun to see how and why others organize their spaces. Thanks for sharing your craft room!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks Melodie, it's something I really had to do and it's finished. I'll never move this furniture again, I was so sore afterwards and my right shoulder blade is still giving me a bit of trouble. This all took place just before Thanksgiving ..... that darn end cap on my desk really twisted my panties. 🤣🤣🤣 I hate being a type A personality at times. 🙈 xo

[@beckybellinger9900]

Looks good! I started on mine this morning. My husband helped me move the furniture and now I must purge paper and books and supplies to make it all fit. It's gonna take me a bit of time!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Take your time with it all Becky, and HOW EXCITING 🥳 I'm so happy you had help with the heavy furniture. My move and reorganization took me a good 2 weeks and many hours, but well worth it. Enjoy the process and I'm sure you'll be taking trips down memory lane as well once you dig in. xo 🥰

[@maryp7694]

I'm just now watching your craft room video from months ago. Your room looks great! One tip for organizing paper pads: Write the name of the collection on the spine along with a short description of paper type and style or color. It will save you so much time when you are looking for a particular collection! Also, if you store them vertically instead of horizontally, it will be much easier to grab the one you want! Love your craft room!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Mary, thank you so much for your comment and I love your suggestion. I am still pulling each pad out to see what it offers ....... I'll definitely take you up on your tip. I wish I could store my papers vertically but I can't, the spacing doesn't allow it. I'm all into making things easier for myself but sometimes I have to go under, around or over that fallen tree! 🤣 Have a great week and thank you again.

[@bethbenson1931]

Have bought a new house and so far have just been planning on paper where everything will go. Hope it all works out as nicely as yours has! Like you, I get very frustrated when I can't GET to my things, so my new layout in a larger room should alleviate that problem. Enjoy your newly organized room. It is wonderful to see and I am sure it will be a blessing! 😊

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Beth, you have my blessings and how exciting, a new home and new craft room. I'm sure it will all work out just fine. Starting from scratch is so much fun and there are so many possibilities as to how you can set things up. Let me know how you make out and I'll be thinking of you in your journey. ✂️🎨🎉♥️

[@sakameg]

What a fun tour! I loved seeing the before and after views. You've given me lots of ideas and now I can't wait to go and organize my own room! ❤️

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

You got around to watching ............. good for you and I'm happy I could give you some ideas. I've been slowly and carefully exploring the poems in St. Nicholas and I love them. It's lovely to have a bit of poetry to read, sit back, imagine, and wonder. Thank you again, Linda, for your kindness and generous gifts. xoxo 🌼💕🌼🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@sakameg]

@@NellieandRuthDesigns I love how you have your sewing machine right there...mine's in another area of the house right now so it's not as convenient as I'd like. I'm determined to make a place for it! I'm so glad you're enjoying the book. I found two of them at my library book sale! 💕📚

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@sakameg 💖 I hope you can find a spot for your sewing machine. Mine used to be in a far away land, too. 🤪

[@SuperBettyboop23]

I truly love the end results beautiful room good job❣️

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much, Ruth and have a wonderful weekend. 🧡💛🧡🌼🌼🌼

[@maryannschuetz5155]

LOVE your space❣

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you Mary Ann ....... I'm truly blessed. I'm so happy you joined in on the chaos. xo

[@BittyPenny]

Hey Barbie, I wanted you to know I am holding you in my prayers today. God bless you and keep you. Sending lots of and squishy hugs from Texas. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks girlfriend 😘 💓

[@pours1530]

I love the changes you have have made. I am the same way I love to create but I must start with a clean room too.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much. 💓 I have to have a clean room...wish I didn't and could work in and amongst the piles. I'm happy to hear others are like me 🥰

[@amyspaid9031]

Your room looks fantastic! We’ve finally finished moving mine and it’s mostly organized. So excited to get back to crafting!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Oh, that's so good to hear, Amy. Now, go get 'em girl and get your crafty on!!! YAY !!!

[@kimsinspiredlife]

Looks like a lot of work🙃Your crafty space is amazing⭐️

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks for joining in on the choas, Kim! It was, but I'm always up to moving furniture and making a room more functional. The only time I don't like to move furniture is when I have to clean behind it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

I am very impressed, Barbie! You have a wonderful craft space. I am very happy for you!😊❤️

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you Susan. I moved into my sons old bedroom after he got married. My craft space prior to this was half the size with no room for storage. Yikes. I am very lucky for sure. xo 🥰

[@KarenLeanneCreates2024]

I love the U- shape configuration of your desk and how much improvement you have achieved! I'm one who has to have a fresh start after a project or a day of crafting. Great job...Thanks for sharing!❤

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you so much, Karen for stopping in to take a look. The U is so very helpful to me, I'm more productive and yes, my area has to be spotless for a new project to begin. I love like minded people. 💕🩷💕 Happy crafting and again, thank you. 😊

[@myvagabondstyle]

Wow my friend. I'm in awe over your art space. You are an organization magician 😂 Beautiful seasonal boxes. The hair dryer box❤❤❤ And that paper closet! Thanks for sharing your amazing space.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks girlfriend...enough space for you to join me. I love my moms old hair dryer container...I love how she kept it. Always thinking of storage for her craft supplies. 🧡🤗🧡

[@janeleslie4192]

Listening while I am doing same !!!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Clean all that stuff out Jane, GO FOR IT! Thanks for joining in on the chaos. xoxo

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

Barbie your room looks great! I love it! And your closet…what a difference. I need to go thru and do a clean up, clean out session myself. If I don’t clean up in between projects it’s becomes overwhelming and I can create at all. I have to tell you that I have that same little rack you have hanging off the end of your desk, over there were your keeping the cart. I found mine at a thrift store and it never occurred to me to hang it off the side. I’ve just been sitting it on my desk. I use it to hold different papers while I’m working on a project. Now I’m looking to see if I can hang it from my desk.🤣🥰

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Hey, Pam ........ find a spot for it. I think I'm finally set and ready to go. My problem now is, I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING ........it's all tucked away nice and neat so I have to familiarize myself with it all again. The other day I needed something badly and had to look through bins in the cellar 🤣😂🤣 it's such a good feeling though. Have at it in your craft room, you won't be sorry and thanks for hanging with me. xoxo 🥰

[@tatteredpaperandlace2905]

Always will hang with you girlfriend!

[@BigGrannydb]

Everything looks great! Well organized & ready for action! All that work will pay off in lovely pages. TFS!

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Debbe. Ready for action for sure, it's all waiting patiently for me. You are so sweet to stop by, thanks again and have a wonderful week. 🥰🌟🥰

[@BigGrannydb]

Same to you, Barbie! Take good care … you’ll be back soon!

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Your room looks great:) tfs:)

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you, Barbara. I hope I could be of some help in organizing with a few of my ideas.

[@marlajowens]

You wouldn't have had to disassemble your Martha Stewart shelf unit. You could by some furniture movers that you place under the 4 corners of your furniture. It makes moving furniture so much easier. Just a suggestion. You did a good job organizing and moving things around. Looks great.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you Maria. I like your suggestion very much and thought of that, however, the unit has three sections to it and the under carriage is funky. Believe it or not, the bottom section the drawers and door set on is hollow and that wouldn't have worked. It's a beast. I actually have a nice piece of thin wood underneath the unit so it doesn't mess up the carpet. (very strange construction) Thanks for coming to see my move! xo 🥰

[@katsspace4688]

Fabulous make over🙌 I write the name of the paper pad on the spine with a black marker…it makes finding my paper pads so much easier.

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you very much for stopping by and I love your comment. What a fantastic idea, I never thought of that and yes, it would definitely my my world easier to navigate. Have a wonderful week. 🌼🧡🌼

[@carolnieves-delgado8822]

Exactly i need to have order

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thank you for joining in Caroline 💛🌼💛 I so agree!

[@thecrazylifeandtimesofacra2629]

i got a new sublimation printer for christmas and it felt like i was moving to try and make space for it i love getting new stuff but it sure does make alot of work im so excited i got the peachy cheap grab bag today im so excited to see what all i get i missed out on the last several but i got it this time yay i also got a temu order coming yet and im going to hobby lobby and michaels this week so im having a great month so far and its day 1 i sold alot over christmas so i need to restock things

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

I love your name, yes, I feel I live a crazy life at times as well so I can totally relate. How lucky for you to receive a new sublimation printer. My girlfriend does amazing sublimation projects and love all her work. Take time to find a good place to put it. Examine your room carefully and get organized, make a plan. With all the new items you have coming in, you'll find special places to put it all. Thanks for joining me to see how you can organize and regroup in your craft room, no matter the size. Happy New Year and Happy Crafting! 🥳❣

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Thank you for sharing your reorganization, Barbie! It just makes sense to have what we use most often at hand, and sometimes it takes awhile to get it just right. When we do, it’s wonderful! That was a fantastic buy at Joann’s! When I moved my quilting studio downstairs, I was able to give some thought to the flow and what needed to be near me. I can’t work in chaos either. I love things to be neat and have a place for everything. My studio is truly my happy place! I missed being in there over the holidays with all the “holiday” things to do. Now we can get back to playing. I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow and saying a prayer for a speedy recovery! Take care care my friend 🥰 xx Becca

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@@willowhilldesigns7 Thank you, Becca. I LOVE your happy space, a space I'd definitely love to craft in. I'm so happy your holiday was filled with love and family. I am so looking forward to seeing what you will be working on this coming month and will have lots of time to watch and admire. Thank you for the well wishes. 10 am is my special time, I just hope my stomach can hold out and up to not having my morning coffee. 🤣🤣 I'll be in touch and thank your for the prayers. xoxo 🥰🥰🥰

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks for subscribing and I'm so happy to have you in my craft room. I'd love to come and help, I LOVE organizing 💖🤗 good luck, I know you can do it.

[@meryltyler2382]

You are a woman after my own heart. My husband realises that I cannot clean my craft room, without moving the majority of the room into the hall, the bedroom and the bathroom 🤣 I am dead jealous of your paper closet and the size of your room. To add insult to injury, I have decided that I want to wallpaper the feature wall of pictures that I stare at whilst crafting., before my next organise. Wish me luck 😊

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Meryl, Good Luck and my your reorganizing be fun. I love to rearrange and reorganize, it provides new life in me. My craft room prior to moving into my sons bedroom was much smaller and I really do enjoy this space. I am so blessed. However, a smaller room would be fine as well, my closet was much bigger in my old room so lots and lots of stuff was shoved in there. I'd love to see your wall of pictures when it's done, that's a great idea. xo 🤗

[@mypinkcraftyheart1551]

Very organized room. Where is the black shelf unit from. The one behind your office chair. Thank you

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

Thanks for stopping by to check out the old craft room !! The black shelf unit is very old. I purchased that from either Land of Nod or Ballard Design back in the late 90's maybe into 2000-2001. It actually folds up and it also has 2 corner 3 tierd shelving units that are tucked away. I hope you find something like this b/c it comes in so handy and is so easy to move. Have a wonderful weekend. 😀🌼🩷

[@mypinkcraftyheart1551]

Thank you. I’m referring to the book shelf right by your office chair and a window. The time stamp is 29:45 on the video. If it helps. Thank you

[@NellieandRuthDesigns]

@@mypinkcraftyheart1551 Yes, that I believe was from either Ballard Design or Land of Nod. It has to be 15 - 20 years old.
