[@Its.me_Christina]

Very nice!!! I'd definitely paint the built-ins - give it a great cohesive look! ❤

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Thanks!

[@bcraftsalot]

This was fantastic, thank you! Especially the deep dives into the drawers. We are about to move and I'm going to be setting up a new craft area, so I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Yay! So glad you liked it. I have more coming as I just got some new organizers to add to my room!

[@nedanashu5025]

Awesome room!! I think I would paint the built-ins white. I love the stamp & storage drawers, they are on my wish list, as I just ordered their 10 drawer until for my lose foam stamps. I do mixed media as well as cards, & art journaling.

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Thanks so much for watching my tour! I agree on painting them. It’s hard to find time to get it done but I’ll get there. I love playing with mixed media as well. 🥰💕

Your craft room is sooo beautiful. I actually like the dark wood with the white. Everything is so nicely placed. I can't tell you how much you have inspired me!! What a great video!

[@lcrafts5907]

Your craftroom is awesome. I heard you said you were going to paint the bookshelves white. I wouldnt....I like the pop of color. It matches to your front door and the barn door to the craftroom. I love the contrast. Enjoy your craftroom. 🥰😍❤

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Thank you! That’s what I have been struggling with because it does match the other doors. Thanks for weighing in- definitely leaning towards not painting them the more I think about it. 💕🥰

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching💕

[@erikaleighart]

I can see how that cart with the detachable trays would be so useful. I find myself working on multiple things at once and having to tidy up between each project. That cart would let you have a bunch of things going at once, and all you’d have to do is store the tray back on the cart. I may get one for myself! Thank you for sharing your storage ideas!

[@NickiHeartsCards]

You are welcome! Glad you liked that idea. Make sure to use my link to the cart if you go shopping!🥰

[@cherrydulaney6572]

I’m a new subscriber after just watching you on the PaperCrafters Get Organized Weekend course. Wow! We are selling our home of 30+ years and will be buying a new one. I’m hungry for craft room organization tips and tricks so that I can start out fresh in a new space. You’ve totally inspired me and given me so many useful ideas. Thanks so much for being part of the awesome Get Organized Weekend and for creating this tremendously helpful video.

[@NickiHeartsCards]

I actually do like the builtins in woodtone. It breaks up the white and warms it up! I have my grandma’s antique singer in my craftroom which breaks up all my white ikea.

Amazing Craft Room Space Girl! I’m loving that cart, to get things ready to work on. You asked on painting the cabinets on back wall, after watching a few videos today for this coming year and the years ahead WOODS Furniture are making a comeback. From light color wood to dark so don’t paint it. Matches your front door Thinking of getting some of those units To sit my printer, Cricut Machine on top of it. Thank you for sharing! 🤩🤩🤩

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and the info on painting🥰

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Thanks so much!!I appreciate it 💕🥰💕🥰

[@trishawaddell564]

I would paint the built ins. Normally I’m against painting nice wood finished furniture but it would really make the room look cohesive.you could even do the door if you wanted but I don’t know what you need it to look like on the other side o work with the rest of the house. I would also look at bringing in a couple of plants. You get great light through the windows and you can always hang them so they don’t take up any surface space.

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Thanks for the ideas. I have a nice plant that I was watering in the sink and forgot to display during the tour 😬 thanks for stopping by💕🥰

[@KatScrappinessCrafts]

You could put rolling carts in that empty space in that corner they are movable

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Thanks! That’s a good idea💕

[@lizrego2870]

Love your room! I want to get back into card making butter have to save to get all the goodies to make it! What do you do with all the cards you make? Do you sell it or give them away? I loved making cards when I was younger and it’s something I want to get back into!

[@NickiHeartsCards]

I don’t sell mine, just give them away and sometimes a make a set for a gift to someone.

[@skmoreau100]

Love your room. Thank you for sharing!! Although many of your storage solutions are the same or similar as mine- I was still able to get a couple great ideas to add to my space. I would love to have that WRMK multi tray cart… I just can’t find a place for it. My room is quite full. I also love my Alex cabinets on wheels. I pull them out to use as extra horizontal space when I’m working on a large project.

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by my channel. 🥰💕

[@vasunseeker]

Lovely room! Where is the tray cart from (under your table)? TY

Thank you!

[@NickiHeartsCards]

@vasunseeker you are welcome!! Have a great day!

[@toscakekish6692]

New subscriber. I found you on my feed. I have been looking for a way to store my Copic markers. Love the X cube! Can you tell me what you used to label the ends of your Copic Ciao markers? I started with those and need I way to identify the color without pulling it out. Great video!!!

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Thanks so much, so happy to have you as a subscriber! I typed the numbers out in very small font, printed on thick copy paper (not as thick as I use for cards) the. Used hole puncher to punch out the numbers. Then small amount of double sided adhesive to stick them to the end of the marker.

[@toscakekish6692]

Thank you ❤

[@NickiHeartsCards]

You’re welcome!💕🥰

[@GeminiDeb54]

What are the dimensions of the shelves on top of the Alex units

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Here’s the unit so you can see on Amazon amzn.to/43UYxiI

[@Cindy-sb5dv]

Love the space 🥰 Q: how do you clean the brushes that have the multicolour handles?

[@NickiHeartsCards]

I just run them under water then rub on microfiber cloth to dry. Some inks will stain them but most of them come out

[@bethbenson1931]

Wonderfully organized room. And so gorgeous! Guess you don't use your Gemini much. My back hurt when you said you use it on the floor. Most of my organizing things come from thrift stores. I have lots of those two white shelf things. They are shoe organizers for the bottom of a closet. Usually find them at Goodwill for $3.79 each. Just thought I would tell people that there are cheaper options if you can't afford your lovely units from Ikea. Happy creating!

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Thanks so much! Yes, always cheaper options. It’s what works for you. I love sitting on the floor so having my Gemini there saves me space, but that’s definitely not for everyone. Thanks so much for checking out my craft room! Have a great day!🥰

[@MariaSanchez-fi9ts]

Hello, where can I find the removable tray system that is under your table? What is the name of the cart?

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Give about to send you a couple links

[@NickiHeartsCards]

It’s in the description under We R Memory Keepers Cart. Will post a link here also

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Here’s the link to it shrsl.com/3wseq

[@louisebaby8]

What brand are your liquid watercolours? I wanna get some but overwhelmed by all the options! Haven’t seen many people use liquid ones so no idea where to start lol

[@NickiHeartsCards]

The liquid ones in the drawer are Hero Arts but watch this video - because re-inkers for some ink pads work just as well so you may be able to save some money by getting colors that work with your ink pads. My fave ink pads with re-inkers are Catherine Pooler because they come in sets the coordinate with each other. I used them in this video and it has links in the description. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6q8paeIZq-ZipI

[@NickiHeartsCards]

Here's a link to what I used the most - tinyurl.com/3vjm8hax

[@starrdustmemorieswithdiane934]

Nikki, what are the small containers that you have your mini ink pad sets in? The ones that coordinate 4 colors from light to dark. Great room tour! I’m going to be getting more Kallax units in Feb. or March when my tax refund comes back. Need two 2x3’s to make a cart, 4 sets of wide Alex drawers and two desk tops to have a double desk area………can’t wait!!! 😉 TFS!!

[@NickiHeartsCards]

That’s awesome. If you are talking about the mini ink cubes that are Altenew brand- they are actually just in their original packaging.

[@starrdustmemorieswithdiane934]

Saw on your blog that you are a Nurse Practitioner. I’m an RN also and am kicking myself for not going forward to get my bachelors degree and potentially a NP as well. I could still be working now had I done that. Cannot do the RN “grunt work” any longer. Body is screaming at me! Had to stop working end of June due to a persistent foot wound that supposedly was healed in May. Wound opened back up beginning of June, cellulitis started a week after that and had 4 rounds of Keflex over the summer. Two surgeries this summer/wound vac (first I&D dehisced and I couldn’t do dressing changes well as incision on side of foot I couldn’t see the wound, so wound vac) with second surgery for two months and back on SSID (so frustrating as I want to get, get that for crafting). Ruined my whole summer. Will never deal with the Wound Clinic again and instead go directly to Ortho. Have been dealing with this for 3 years. Surgeon removed the “nub” on the 5th metatarsal on second I&D and wound is almost healed/callus not coming back. Guess that was the answer. 👏👏👏. Just cannot go back to caring for disabled kids that weigh 80# plus and lifting them into their wheelchair with parents that refuse to use a hoyer. Now dealing with low back/hip issues and pain down my lateral right thigh. Had I gone back to further my education as an RN, I could still work. Went for Computer Information Systems and got my Bachelors in that when in my early 40s. When I finished in 2003, barely any jobs for a newbie at the time due to layoffs after Y2K, so……..went back to the hospital to work as a nurse. Had to leave the hospital 10 years ago due to physical issues. Now there’s all sorts of IT jobs, but not for an OLD person with no experience. 🤣. Glad you got your NP! Will be easier in the long run for you. Every nurse should think about that. 😉

[@NickiHeartsCards]

So sorry about all your health issues. Being in healthcare is definitely physically demanding especially on the RNs. I am glad you are on the mend! Thanks so much for checking out my channel. Wishing you a healthy, happy 2023!

[@starrdustmemorieswithdiane934]

Thanks Nicki! I better with my foot thankfully/PTL! Now to tackle the back/leg problem. MRIs on lumbar and pelvis and hope the hip joints show up on the latter cuz I’m sure I need hip replacements. Nerve pain down lateral right and o er top of thigh is driving me NUTS! Wakes me up at night unless I stay positioned just right. Injections don’t really help all that much. I’m going bionic! 🤣 Had total knees in ‘07 an ‘10. Hips started almost 4 years ago. I have DISH Syndrome, so spurs from C2 to my toes. Something all the time. My doc told me when diagnosed with it in 2010 said I was the only woman in his practice with it. 😳. Lol. Just have to take it day by day. And pray 🙏 for endurance. Appreciate all your videos. Both long and the #shorts! Must be difficult working, kids and trying to craft. You have a lot of energy. I couldn’t do it. 😉 TFS!

[@MichelleColeCreates]

How do you like the lights on your desk? I need more lighting but don't have space for the larger lights.

[@NickiHeartsCards]

The smaller lights work great to light up my space, are you going to be filming with them?

[@MichelleColeCreates]

@@NickiHeartsCards yes, that's the plan

[@NickiHeartsCards]

I’ll send you a link to the brand I have been using that has held up the best

[@MichelleColeCreates]

Perfect! Thank you so much!

[@ireneyaburns9653]

Amazing room. I am thinking about what I want to do for my upcoming craft room and I have a question. It seems like most of the craft rooms are white (and often from ikea). Is there a reason for the white furniture? Other than personal preference?

[@NickiHeartsCards]

I think it’s a couple things- personal preference is a big one but I film a lot and want my room to be as bright and light reflecting as possible.

[@ireneyaburns9653]

@Nicki Hearts Cards I appreciate the super quick response. I have always wanted my own room and now that we are moving to the new house - I'll get one and I was thinking of just finding storage for cheap on the internet and painting it so it matched. I understand that white does make things brighter, does that assist in the crafting process or just a filming process?

[@NickiHeartsCards]

You’re welcome. Sorry this one took a little longer. I feel like I can see the colors better because everything around them is bright but that’s just how my eyes operate and may just be my preference. Do your work surface, a darker option is helpful. I have a dark mat on my desk otherwise my white desk would be stained with all kinds of stuff.

[@ddphillips1960]

Hello! New subscriber here 😁 I am wondering on the size of your craftroom. Can you tell me the dimensions? I am getting ready to redo mine and this video was super helpful! I also have the Totally tiffany organizer thats on your desk, and I put a lazy susan under mine. I love it !

[@NickiHeartsCards]

That’s a great idea to put the lazy Susan under it. My room is approx 10 x 12 ft

[@ddphillips1960]

Thank you! That is the same size as my craft room :)

[@PapercraftsbyCindyellen]

I got myself another set of 12x12 drawers that I had in my sewing room for my craft room - that's where I put my pojects in motion. Works well for me. Having things out on a tray where birds could get it is NOT a good idea in my house. I really like your craftroom. Paint those cabinets.

[@NickiHeartsCards]
