MY CRAFT ROOM 2025: How I keep my junk journal supplies in check! [PART 1]

[@londaedwardsrau3245]

Luise, you are glowing! I'm only a few minutes into the video, but had to stop to write this comment to say how fantastic you look. Hurrah for you on your "get healthy" journey. You look so happy "in your own skin" now. 💛🧡❤

[@strongcuppatea1629]

Luise, I'm in awe of how thoughtfully & carefully you've organized the structure/design of your craft room...especially recalling how it looked during the construction phase!! I'm sure this took a lot of effort and you should be proud of the great job you did! Like you, I always start projects based on color and then pull in the "components". This video helped me understand how a visually driven crafter can better organize. Your primary inspiration are colors, so the wall of inks/paints/papers is the focal point. The secondary element (components) are stored in closed storage (drawers, baskets, bins) to reduce visual distraction. The third element (tools) are positioned where they are used most. Your "creating space" (desk) is reserved only for current projects to keep clutter to a minimum. And when a project is complete the "colors, components and tools" go back to their specific home and your craft room returns to its neat and tidy design. You continue to inspire on so many levels!!

Thank you for addressing the fact that we don't need a ton of supplies to make amazing stuff. Your aesthetic is your aesthetic. It will shine through no matter how much stuff you have or don't have. Thank you for the reminder.

[@rebeccabowman2204]

So lovely to have a face to go with your voice. I so enjoy your sense of humor - a bit twisted like mine. Albert Einstein said “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” In your case could not agree more. I’ve learned so much from you - thank you for sharing your viewpoint and experience. I’m having the time of my life in my art room letting go and making the art I want to make and most importantly being proud of all I do even the not so good stuff because I had the courage to try and there is always something to learn! 💜💕♥️

[@nicoleg.5277]

Thanks for letting us know that you would still be the same person if you would only have a tenth of your supplies you would still be the same person. I’m very happy with what I have at the moment. I just like to be creative and be distracted from my daily problems. Thank you for letting me realize that. I love your honesty ❤

[@kayeganann5237]

Luise, you look amazing. You have very pretty eyes that shine. Love your craft room. Thank you for sharing!!

[@kymlafontaine1162]

Also what newcomer might not realize is that your craft supplies and storage etc have evolved from that same small space that you started in yourself. And supplies are accumulated over several years. Thanks for always sharing with us. I am happy for you and what you have. You have worked hard for that.

[@luiseheinzl]

Thank you so much for those words. That's absolutely true.

[@anniegabriel5892]

That really is a Cabinet of Curiosities!I always wondered what it is, now I know!

[@eliseklatschmohn4197]

Dein Kreativzimmer ist ein Ort an dem Ideen sprühen und Inspiration in jeder Ecke lauert, wunderschön ❤ Danke für's erwähnen 😘

[@CindyLu33]

I'm never jealous of anyone who has more than me. I'm very happy for anyone. I've redded out and have become very selective in getting things. I don't want them if they're going to sit. Everyone is at a different level of items. It takes time to accumulate. I'm surprised your labeling is not in german. Luise, this is the most beautiful, organized craft room I have ever seen! I loved seeing this video.

[@anniegabriel5892]

This really lends meaning to the phrase “shop your stash”!

[@micheledore1973]

Love your organization. I love labels and a place for everything. And all the containers matching😂😂

[@cherylradford3733]

Your English is so much improved! It's been 6 months since I last watched your channel. You look so beautiful and happy. ❤

[@christinamain2829]

I work in a library so i have a lot of appreciation for that beautiful card catalog you have ❤ i cant wait to see how you use it

[@terrydonald6149]

Luisa, I'm really enjoying your 2 videos (so far) of your creative apartment and studio tours. A few ideas: 1) your drying mats can be put into a wall pocket (office supply) possibly by your paper towels. 2) your splatter brush could go into a toothbrush holder. 3) the grungy drawers you decorated on your desk that slide, put a small empty box to keep them from sliding back. Lastly, to your "freak", brava! Fly your freak flag when you need to. It makes you uniquely you! 😊 Thank you for the videos. ❤

[@reneesanchez7696]

You said the most encouraging words for me. That no matter our space, we are crafters. I had to sacrifice my craft room for my grandson. My supplies are mostly boxed up, which makes it frustrating when I work on a craft. But I am continuing to paper craft. Love how you stored your stencils. Thank you for your craft room tour. 💚💚💚

[@angelajoy4829]

I have been waiting for this part of your tour - thank you so much for taking us through this part of your studio and explaining how your brain leads you to make your decisions. You look so happy and I am so pleased for you to have this new fantastic space. It is like the opposite of your tiny caravan where you had to create space with clever solutions. Now you and your supplies have room to breathe and I can imagine you will continue to be your wonderfully creative self. Your room is beautiful and I love that you are living your dream!

[@acmepost]

you are a gem. I like your inner freak, too. Thank you for everything you contribute to the maker community. Your video was just right, your explanations are excellent, and I am totally inspired - full of fresh thoughts and motivation.

[@daffodilsdaisies1932]

Wow I love your craft room and yes I want to better organise my room after watching this , your so funny and a joy to watch ❤

[@christinecrow1410]

Luise, you are beautiful today. I love your eyes. They sparkle. Your craft room is something to be admired. I only dream of having a craft room like this. But, im working on it. Lol. Thank you for sharing your room. ❤❤❤

[@colleenbullecks1729]

Aaah. All of your organization makes my brain calm. "No freaking my freak", just calm. 😊

[@machellesnow4214]

Yes, so many things get grungy in my craft space. You have inspired me to reorganize. Love your ideas. Smart smart girl Luise. 😊

[@Itsprobablysharon]

Luise! Thank you for sharing your craft room.. I am jealous. You look extra happy & beautiful today! Your eyes just SPARKLE! I love the plaid shirt ❤

[@melissaclough5675]

The organization for your trimmers is brilliant!! Thank you for the tip!!!

[@polkadotpixels]

What a gorgeous space. I love your work so much!! Thank you for sharing with us. ❤

[@shellylaw4]

Your craft room is a dream! It has helped in so many ways!!!! Thank you so very much for doing these videos!

[@teresadavis9283]

For your small drawers, to keep them from sliding around, you could set them on a silicone pot holder/ hot pad/ trivet mat. They come in various thicknesses. You can get one or two thin ones so they don't take up too much height.

[@MARTHAMCN]

You look so amazing, so happy, so content! I love seeing this! Your room is amazing!

[@carleenjenkins3686]

I am very impressed everything is labeled in english. Some suggestions are included here, going to use some of your techniques when I reorganize. Hold your dryer with a hook or bulldog clip just on the edge or under your desk on the right hand side to prevent moving your project. Your imagination for storage methods is incredible. To prevent your boxes and stamps from sliding back put a piece of wood or book behind them on the desk, no need to attach in case you want to move them. Looking forward to part 2! Time for coffee.....

[@NaomiHall-hn4qn]

I just love your new studio, just beautiful.💕💕💕 You are so amazing in creating such a wonderful room to play and work in. Thanks for sharing

[@mintea2779]

Oh Luise your picture on KZbin got me to watch this as I love your space. Those drawers similar to the old UK library reference card drawers( I used to work in a library) are really beautiful. ❤

[@debrafazzi5382]

So happy for you now have this fabulous room to create and make videos for US!!!!😊😊 Love your creative apartment and Girl you looks fab, radiant and happy 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@gfluff3525]

Whoa! Phenomenal craft room and organization !!! I like the colour flow, and the junk journal cabinet is really nice

[@juliekeil8791]

Being organized is such a great feeling. But, I have to say, you are gorgeous! ❤

[@colleenbullecks1729]

Love your craft room/work room! And so nice to see your beautiful face and not just hear your voice. Thanks for the tour!

[@dianerandall995]

thanks so much for sharing your new space with us. i am sure it took days and days for you to get it up and functional to your liking. just a little hint at about the 1:20 mark while you were telling us about the cabinet with all the texture mediums. there are little tabs of metal (just above the rock candy jar and one across at the same position) that can be bent inward to prevent the drawers from pulling out to far. there may be different places to do those little bends so be careful because once bent or if you ever want to take the drawer out completing the bent tabs may prevent that option from happening easily. so bend inward a little at a time until you need the tabs to be. i use a flat head screw driver to give them a little push. looking forward to all the magic being creating from this room.

[@cheapskatewithlupus]

That vintage drawer is epic. No words ....😮

[@cheridadrake280]

Thank you so very much for the tour 😊Very inspirational, well presented and thorough. Can’t wait to share the creative journey with you this year ❤

[@dianed4353]

Wow, thank you for sharing your space it gave me so many ideas! You are a doll, lovely inside and out. ❤

[@joliekelly517]

You look amazing! Congrats on your weight loss. I love your enthusiasm for your craft and your space.

[@soymilkmuse]

I'm in the process of cleaning and reorganizing my craft room. It's so helpful to see your space and hear your explanation of why what is stored where. 🥰❤️

[@CraftyBestie]

We don't need all the things, but you are extremely blessed. I'm glad that you remember where you came from. So many people forget who they were when BIG things happened for you. Thank you for staying humble even though you are amazing.

[@SandysArt-cx5ek]

Luise, you are really looking great, and I love your craft room. You are so organized, it looks great. Thanks for taking us around it.😍

[@dorisschulze9875]

Wow! Your organization is awesome! You explaining why you do it your way makes so much sense to me. Very methodical and well thought through. Quite like how you craft also.

[@SusansColorfulExpressions]

I love the organization! It is a gorgeous space, as well, with so much room and table space.

[@carolm4094]

Love all your different organizational ideas.

[@GoogleBot-lf7xv]

What a fab tour Luise. Thank you so much. It’s so useful to have you let us have a peek into your craft room and storage solutions. ❤

[@crisbo7040]

Hi Luise, your craft room is beautiful, as is your home! Thanks for sharing them with us ❤

[@nsteph]

You look fabulous! Your room is awesome, your apartment as well. I'm so happy for you.

[@michellebrown7000]

Thank you for sharing. There were so many helpful tips and tricks. Loved the kitchen storage for the various boards.

[@sylviaesposito4757]

I love how you have you room set up. I also like the gathering process of supplies before you start a project. Right now I am trying to get my room in order. I had two back surgery within two weeks and have to recover first. I’m so excited to get my act together so I can create. I have four sewing machines on my kitchen table right now . I have been making underwear for my 4 granddaughters, they will not wear store bought ones. I also sew for a charity organization that makes Bundles of supples, clothing etc for newborns in need. I really need to move my machines into my craft room.

[@shinybreesilver3264]

Your space is amazing. I love your organization. I am also a freak for “a place for everything and everything in its place”. Love how you arrange your space for what you need. I also love the box you made for your stencils. Turn the camera on when you make another one. I would love to see how you make it! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ElaAmp]

I am about to do a huge rearranging and organizing of all my art & craft supplies. Your video has been a huge inspiration and has given me some great ideas. Thanks for giving us a peek into your creative space. I have been overwhelmed with all my supplies and unable to start organizing, this video has given me motivation to get started! Thank you!

[@marymathews1394]

I love your new space. I recently watched some of your older videos when you explained about your caravan and campers passing by your open window. No more of that. I moved in July from a mobile home to a two bedroom apartment. I finally have a dedicated craft room.

[@sandypeppers6861]

“My freak is freaking out.” Lol. I need to remember that!😊😊

[@conniekoedyker8490]

My first thought when she said that was "Oh, that's getting added to my vocabulary!"

[@gloriahoade7654]

Luise! Look at you showing off your space. I'd love a flat that could hold my things and be as organised as yours. I'm amazed at your English! I'd love to speak 2 languages. Keep being Luise! We all love and adore you, friend! xxx

[@4GraceCreations]

The abstract art in water is cool!!!

[@gloriaijaramillol.8451]

Just amazing, Luise. Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

[@1lawn68]

Love love all your storage especially the brown library card like cabinets!

[@gayleneponds]

Love seeing your pretty face! You are one of the most creative people I watch

[@nataliechim5227]

Luise your furniture and organisation systems are blowing my mind and I am only 20 minutes into the video

[@colleensnyder8943]

I love that I just found your channel. Happiness just spills out when you speak!!! 🎨

[@cheryl7476]

I’ve gotten some brilliant ideas from this video. Thanks, sweetheart.

[@sallybookbunny]

My freak loves your freak! I like your organizing style! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@jatzygirl3120]

I love this craft apartment. I love my own little space. Ikea is awesome. There is only one Luize. A small part of my brain gets it.❤❤❤❤

[@thecraftyvisage]

All I can say is-- fabulous!! ❤❤

[@sheraleedogali-henderson6231]

You are so blessed. I and only dream about a space like this.

[@kiminalaska9363]

I love the way you store your stencils

[@karinjensen4591]

Luise you look fantastic and all I can say about your craft room is ❤️WOW❤️.

[@lorlor2831]

Oooh lala, You look stunning 😍 your room is fantastic, you have worked so hard to get where you are. Congratulations. There are a lot of those ideas that could work in my room. Thank you

[@wendywatson3464]

So love this cabinet🥰

[@DoreenLWyatt]

I love how you have everything organized. It is such an interesting idea and inspiration for us creators/crafters. Thank you so much, FYI, watching from 🇨🇦Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 Hubby and I live in Baden-Baden from 1985 to 1990….was the best time of our lives…wish we could have stayed longer♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@MundiJournals]

This is awesome! You have come a long way with your process! Congratulations on your new studio.

[@shrineshrine389]

Wow the drying idea is excellent!

[@creamm75]

you look so good and happy in this video

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

I am in love with your crafting studio. My brain works the same way yours does in categories and colors. I loved my studio until I became bedbound. My solution was IKEA carts. One for tools, one for stamping, one for die cutting, one for jewelry making...etc. I have my caregivers to bring to me what I need. I then go shopping through my carts, and I have a project cart where I put everything I need for that project. It works great for me! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

[@jonimitchell6962]

Love your friendliness.

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

Awesome space. I loved hearing the how and why behind your organization. It all makes wonderful sense. Love the kitchen shelf organizer for the trimmers and other tools.

[@rduckster4727]

Hello beautiful lady! That wall of inks is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your setup and the reasons for your process. I went from an actual craft room to an open craft space in the middle of my 1200 sf studio house. My mess is visible from every space in my home and I dream of an organized craft room with an area for all my hobbies ( mixed media, journal making, card making etc.)

[@JennyCramate]

Amazing studio, thank you for sharing. Love your beautiful brain.

[@suevalentine2669]

Your video is amazing and so inspiring. I just now need to see you using all the lovely materials you have in projects to inspire us even more. Thank you for your sharing.

[@octavya30]

Your craft room is fabulous! Mine is going to be repainted this week and I’m reorganizing mine. You have some great ideas for organizing. ❤

[@caroloconnor1688]

Love your cabinet. In US we call this a card catalogue. Libraries would file individual cards for everything they had. Then, you would go through the cards to find what you needed. Now computers hold the info.😊

[@saundrabusch4452]

That is lovely Luise and very organized…I’m trying to get my crafts organized lol❤❤❤

[@MaddieMadMoo1]

Thank you Luise, I am just in the process of reorganising my own apartment, includng my space for working from home and crafting so this has been really helpful and inspirational. Also do not apologise for you being you and your way of thinking. You look so happy and healthy and this is the most important thing.

[@lindahyem5804]

Thank you. Your room is beautiful!!

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

Loving this video. Thank you for sharing and inspiring ❤❤❤

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Luise, what a lovely tour of your apartment, your draft room is beyond gorgeous, well organized and thought process went into this. Thank you so much for sharing, enjoy your day, big hugs Luisa.

[@kimosabescraps1]

Such a beautiful space you have ! I enjoy seeing you in your space and explaining why you put things together. So inspiring! ❤

[@dianeschneider7442]

I’m very impressed with your organization skills. It’s very intentional. I think there are a few ideas I will try to implement. I love when my room is clean but I am a messy crafter🙃. Looking forward to the rest of the tour. 😊

[@debferrell]

I do sell paper crafted projects on very small scale but with all the other media I use I have easily as much “stuff” as you, probably more. You have a beautiful and useable space, it is very nice!

[@giovannaalvino4040]

An organizational marvel! ❤

[@carold.9626]

Brilliant! I'm very happy for ye and your moving forward in your life n career!! Ye look so happy!! Ivejust about got my room n closets organized!! Feels soooo goood !! Looking forward to more lovely creations !! Congratulations 🎊 😊❤❤🎉

[@katelickey3466]

I've learned so much from you in this video! Besides your craft room being my dream craft room, how you described the way you see your color palette just made so much sense to me! Being overwhelmed with ways to store craft items is something I deal with every day. I will be using alot of your storage ideas, thank you so much!

[@Veronim78]

Wow, love your craft room. It’s fantastic. You also look beautiful and happy. So true , you don’t need a lot of room to be creative or need tons of supplies. I never had a craft room. Now in the last 15 years been crafting in a corner of my living room before that I crafted in my little kitchen. But I have a lot of craft stuff or supplies collected over 35 years. I have supplies all over my apartment, in my walk in closet, under the bed . Chest and drawers, 😆😆🤣. It’s every where. In my coat closet. My problem is when I need something I don’t remember where I put it. I do have a large craft table next to it a bin with 5 drawers. And I keep the stuff I need daily around me. Some supplies on the floor. My sewing machine is in my closet, I do have to pull it out and sew on my kitchen table. I sew very little because of that. When I was young and had a house I sewed. I had a sewing room. But now at my old age live in a Senior apartment. I don’t craft like I used . So I create projects in a small area. I do ok. You get used to it. At least I can create something if I feel like it. But I love how you organized your room. It’s beautiful, Louise. I wish you all the best. You are a genius of a crafter. You are amazing. Wish I was talented like you.

[@mariadoc]

Loving these videos!!

[@sharonnickerson2391]

Such a fun tour! I love your stencil storage!!! Great idea!!

[@merrybrantley4991]

Wow I love it. I was amazed by your creativity but who know you were an organizational genius as well!

[@lvan4407]

Thanks for the tour of your room I bet Everyone watching would like love to come and play with you making paper products Journals and other things. Congratulations on losing weight from your picture you really look great. love the way you have organized everything in your room Happy crafting❤❤

[@nicoleg.5277]

You are so well organized! I really will try to organize my things better. Thank you so much!
