[@flowerchild760]

Who is watching this and wants a whole Happy Planner room? 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@pastichehaus]

Meeee 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@CazkiwiNZ]

I don’t know why I like looking at what other people have in their craftrooms, but it’s almost all I watch for hours on end. So, loved this 3-parter! Tyfs! 😂😂😂

[@jennyowens8033]

Me tooooo!!😂

[@instagamrr]

Ahh unlike my mess of art/junk journaling supplies, the happy planners stacked behind each other is soooo uniform and satisfying

[@bookedplans]

This is beautiful AND such a great example of ADHD-friendly organization! Love how you kept things visible/easy but cute

[@xocoolchickxo]

yess I agree 😄

[@lisaschooler9992]

Would Cass from Clutterbug call this a Bee or a Cricket style? LOL I love it!

[@bridge-it171]

I wanted to say thank you for you honesty and not trying to present the PERFECT craft room. It takes a long time and a lot of patience to find your own organizational style. And if things ever do end up being perfect, our inventive brains would only re-create it. Because I don't think people who craft ever really run out of ideas--at least I hope never to reach that point. So keep reaching!

[@donnabuckner2689]

Great job! As a professional organizer, I can tell you it's all about what makes sense to you. Creating short places to put stuff until you're ready to put it away is brilliant! Thank you for taking the time to provide all the links!

[@okoriesgirl6391]

This is great!!! I love the wall paper you used. It's perfect! Lol, I love how things "make" sense to you. I was guessing what would be in the drawers on the orangnizer on the desk. They all make sense to me. Just wondering what you use the Happy Planner note pads on the desk for. Dad did such a FANTASTIC job on the Washi rack. Such a wonderful gift to cherish. What a happy place to work. So happy for you.

[@timothyjackson1981]

Mary Ellen, I really enjoyed this tour of your craft room/office. Also, I actually like your planner ledge just the way it currently is…on your desk and unhung. 😊

[@ashleysanden9049]

For cord management, you could use a combination of zip ties (around the base of lights, etc), and command hooks (under the table/up the sides if needed) to hide them more 😊

[@claireguinzy9642]

Mary Ellen, the empty art container in your closet is what I use for all of my electronic cords. You can change the size of each compartment and then I label the sections accordingly. So I have 3 of the containers and label them: chargers, wall adapters, hdmi, camera, printer, Cricut, etc. maybe that would work for you instead of the bin.

[@celestedavis6748]

Your room is an absolute dream. It's organized and full of so many fun items. The washi tape wall and marker organizer look like pieces of wall art. Even though I have a small fraction of your supplies, you've given me so many great ideas for organizing what I have. Thanks for sharing. I hope you are happy in your space.

[@michellepowell9341]

Your space is BEAUTIFUL!! I've emptied my room and am COMPLETELY inspired in finishing this project! Thank you so much for inviting us in!

[@joannegeneva9085]

Love the real life video. Lots of practical suggestions too. It came at the perfect time for me. We are renovating part of our house which includes my craft room. I’ll definitely be using lots of your ideas! And when my room isn’t “perfect” I’ll think of this video and remember that it is not about being perfect, it’s always a work in progress! Thanks for sharing another piece of your life with us! ❤

[@janicemackay2662]

A suggestion for your window well. Find a light coloured aquarium background and bend it along the window well wall. It will improve the view with little natural light blockage. This is a great room. Love the space

[@AnaBeaverhausen]

Suggestion for the little space behind window: A low maintenance, low light plant?

[@marcyhurley4088]

This is truly a dream craft room/office!! You've done an amazing job putting all of this together!! 🎉🎉 WTG!!

[@chanalowenthal3897]

I don’t do planning crafts but I loved watching this video. It has a lot of ideas that can transfer to other craft supply storage. I know I’m a little late to the game, but to shorten the pole from the camera/ring light holder use a pipe cutter. You can get them in hardware stores. Then just cap the end. Thanks for these real life videos. It’s not perfect but it works!

[@PlanningwithPeggy]

Well this was worth the wait. LOL. Beautiful and so functional.

[@brendapatchell9921]

Love your room and all your white organizers, cabinets and furniture! ❤❤❤ Newly retired from teaching elementary school for 37 years and I’m so excited to put together my home office/craft room. I love art, drawing and coloring and have been collecting supplies for the past few years. You’ve given me some great ideas and a place to start! I discovered I missed having my plans and accidentally discovered the planning world and a new obsession! 🥰 Thank you for sharing your “obsession/gift for planning!

[@tiffanyd.caldwell328]

Thank you for sharing your "as is" room! I love how you've broken down the different sections!!!!

[@maryanne2500]

Just started watching and right away I can relate to labeling spiral planner/books. How do you do it

[@beckymoe9194]

I would leave the windows just the way it is love all the light that comes in love the craft room

[@beverlycraddock6700]

Girl...coming from ground zero to now is captivating!!! So don't sweat the lil shelf or picture...lol...I am slowly getting my containers early and to see the desk setup you have is a wonderful idea... I might have to still that idea lol...overall the room is beautiful and luv ❤️ the color you ended with...color to me is always challenging especially for the overall lighting to be as bright is needed to be utilized to the utmost. I am the same on making sure all things are in their proper place...lol...KUDDOS!!!

[@christamckee3997]

Wow I wish I had you near to me to help me organize my craft room, I am a want to be crafter, scrapbooking, journaling want to be, I have so much stuff that I have bought throughout the years but have not been able to get my craft room set up to even start to work in! I have SEVERE ADD! Along with several other mental illnesses that holds me back from getting a craft room even set up, I just keep buying and buying hoping one day I’ll find someone to help me or I recover from my illness that I can get set up for something I so desire to be able to do!

[@scrapbook]

WOW! SO many fun supplies and it's great to see how you organize it all! Amazing video, Mary Ellen! ❤

[@Allydiva87]

OMG! SO jelly. I love your creative space. I want the washi thing you have on the wall. That is neat and love the sticker organization too! It's awesome.

[@jen-x-erplansstuff5407]

I am digging the old fashioned school pencil sharpener!

[@rhondacesana2221]

Suggestion for labels: I LOVE my Nimbot! Fast, easy, portable - and mine is pink😍😍. Just thought I’d mention it.

[@vanessah6373]

Your room is PeRfEcT!!!! ❤ I'm so jealous of your space. Thank you for sharing all your organizational tips too.

[@sandracarpenter9749]

Your space is amazing! As someone with ADHD, you organization made total sense to me and I also got some great ideas.

[@janetwillis8437]

Yeah this inspired me too.. sometimes I feel like I am silly by having too much stuff but it's nice to see other people have lots of supply's for fun and to treat myself ...😊

[@yellow000ish]

I love, love, LOVE your craft room! It is beautiful and organized and functional and simply amazing!!!! THIS IS MY DREAM! Thank you for sharing.

[@jennyowens8033]

I really loved and enjoyed your craft room tour. You’ve done an amazing job getting everything organized. I’ll be moving my craft room from a small bedroom to the master bedroom once we get it fixed up. I’m excited and can’t wait to get it finished. Thank you for this video. ❤️

[@franswey2]

You did a fantastic job putting your studio together. I have carpet in my studio and I plan to rip it out. It’s so difficult to move around on. I love your floors! Have a great weekend. Fran

[@Gigis-PlannerRoom]

After Hurricane Ian and still waiting for power…. This is the 1st video I need to see. Ty . Love the room, it Is perfect and so beautiful, enjoy it to the max and thank you for what you do for us

[@lynetteplans7974]

If your dad ever decides he is going to build some washi shelves to sell, I'm his first customer! Love your room and all the storage and storage containers. It is definitely a dream room.😍

[@alicemcintire9189]

Awesome Craft Room! Love all the items you use for organizing all things planner related and the tips! Very helpful. Almond is beautiful! Loved the tour and hearing the excitement in your voice and the smile on your face while giving us the tour. Enjoy your beautiful room and thanks for letting us in!

[@JodiSwirczek]

Thia room is beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration and taking us along for the ride!💛

[@roxanneloyst3733]

Beautiful room. I am looking at the list of items and where you got things. The cabinets for the built ins are they from Ikea and what are they called. I really like the look of this

[@katyplansandpens790]

You have obviously worked hard on making your office a very happy and productive place. Thanks for all of the links - so appreciated!

[@ragsofheartplanning]

the colored pencils 🤩

[@TanglesunTamed]

11:53am. I love your room 💕 thank you for sharing

[@ohiogirlincalif]

Really enjoyed this. It is so much work to create a space for organized supplies that are logical and easy to access and easy to put away, using temporary collecting places for clearing the work space quickly, like the washi tape container to sort and put away later. Like how you demonstrated your systems and style. Beautiful and functional and personal to what you love and what works best for you. Not easy. Your nailed it. I really appreciated all the storage and organizing tools and supplies. Gave me hope and ideas.

[@camiele4]

🤩 All those stickers! 🤩

[@sonyarichard5446]

It’s a happy planners dream . Congratulations ❤

[@teddited9682]

This room is beautiful and much better organized than any room I have ever had or probably will ever have🙆‍♀️

[@cathymagann5771]

Oh my gosh........ I'm so jealous. I'm going to do something like this for my crafting! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@melissadavis1744]

What a beautiful space to create in! I’m so happy for you. Enjoy!

[@amymuy6677]

I love your built in cabinets. One day if I can ever do home improvements I hope to add a large walk in panty and I envision that type to hold all of my extra kitchen needs

[@christamckee3997]

Wow I love your hand writing it’s beautiful.

[@susanmorris5520]

Hi MaryEllen. First may I say that Caramel is just so beautiful!❤️🥰😺 Also I do hope that Wallace is doing well too?❤️🥰😘😺. I love your Planner Room and I love the color too. I wish I could have a Room like that but live in a two bedroom condo with mom.😊 I also like that Caramel spends her time in there with you too and also loves the bed too. She looks so adorable in it.❤️😺🥰 So, I’m so happy your Planner Room is done and what is important is that you are happy even if it’s still a bit unorganized. God bless you and keep the faith always and love always! Sue M.(Clearwater, Florida)❤️😺😺🙏🏻🥰😘🌼🌸😊❌⭕️❌⭕️

[@kristinorth]

Wow, this is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing all the hard work you’ve put in to make it so organized! 2 questions: -Extra planner pages. I saw where you had a small bin of them, but what do you do with the other outdated / unused pages? -Your amazing washi wall. I know your dad doesn’t want to make any, but is there any way he’d share or sell plans to make one? I love it so much!

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

This. Is. Perfect. What a delightful way to spend my lunch break. You have given me so many ideas. Thank you. ❤️

[@FlosstituteSoozie]

I just bought my first Happy Planner. Thanks for the beginner videos! I’m having fun watching your videos and just love all the great ideas! Thanks!

[@dawnhill5744]

Thanks so much for the tour. I am in love with the organization. I am a pen, marker addict and I love your functional storage for all of yours. The room is absolutely beautiful. You work so hard for so long and you so deserve this so much. I do not have the space to do anything like this but if I did, wow, I would definitely follow your example. I even have my boyfriend watches with me and he was like wow. Have a great day!

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

Maryellen, this room is amazing! I love your style and how creative you are! Are you a Scorpio like me? 😊

[@nvlst11]

What a wonderful room. It looks perfect to me. By the way, I LOVE YOUR HAIR!

[@marywalden8391]

I have really enjoyed your video. You telling us exactly the products that held things was very helpful

[@UFOCrochet]

I love that you decided to show use the room as is vs perfect.

[@buckeyethor]

Wow! You put so much thought into every single detail and organization! I love the washi cabinet your dad made; so special! My favorite thing has to be the tissue holder with the modern meow stickers. Super cute!

[@kellikombat9535]

This was such a treat! OMG - It fed me - organization, planning and decor all in one!!! Thanks so much for the continuous inspo!

[@kellielawrence2246]

This is great Mary Ellen. I'm so envious ❣️

[@cindyharen9645]

Your craft room is awesome! Almond could be my Kira's twin!

[@znycelondon5313]

I really am getting major inspiration from the organizing! Loving the acrylic holder for journals. Your happy space looks amazing…. I too have memories placed throughout my studio of things made and given by my ( now grown) children and my grand children…giving me smiles and often times giggles remembering when we made them🤗🤗🤗 Appreciate all the time you took to share and do the item list of what you used🥰

[@aekfuturewriter13]

I loved seeing your office setup! It’s giving me ideas to work on my craft corners in my house! I like the washi wall your dad built! My dad built me a desk in my basement too that I treasure as well!

[@terriok1]

As far as I'm concerned, it is perfect just the way it is! Awesome video! Thank you!

[@Chroniclesofacashstuffingirl]

Yay I was patiently waiting for this video Mary Ellen. So glad you decided to make the video and realizing it's not " perfect " and " Instagram worthy ". I'm proud of you. It still looks great whether completely done or perfect or not. We get the gist and it looks great. Hope I can have a room like that one day. Thank you. This was fun 🤗❤️‍🩹💪

[@nildam.bonilla5849]

Love the idea of many "cancha me" baskets

[@Crusty_Butte_]

This is beautiful! Thank you for keeping it real and showing how to make everything work in real life. We aren't perfect but we can make it work for us. Thanks Mary Ellen 💕

[@JessicaAyers2012]

Awesome!!! I've been waiting for part three - such a surprise to have it uploaded today! Awesome work Mary Ellen (& fam!) That room is a piece of art that I'd love to model after! Seriously the colors (except for me it'd be navy, peony pink, Tiffany blue and rose gold!), The convinces, the set up and just everything is a chef's kiss 💋 perfect. Let's be real ME, we ALL have the real life do I put it away now or later struggles you have (; I know I do. Love just simply love!

Hi there! I am a newbie to planners and just found your channel. Definitely subscribed!! Love all your videos but especially your quirkiness!! 🤪 I bought a big planner in the horizontal layout. I have searched how to decorate with a horizontal layout but like your videos the best! Do you have a decorating a horizontal planner video? If not can you help a girl out? Lol Btw, love your craft room! So awesome and functional. I am addicted to this new hobby and have in the last month spent way to much but look forward to learning how to plan I'm my planner. Thanks so much Mary Ellen. Many blessings...
