No Craft Room? No Problem! - Craft Armoire Tour

[@emilyprice2112]

Love that you are carrying on hobbies you learned from your Mom, that is so nice.

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Emily, yes, I often think of my mom whenever I delve into crafts she used to do and how she had inspired me a lot. I appreciate your kind comment. Have a wonderful day! TFW, hugs ~ Josie :)

[@moniquenadeau5561]

What a wonderful homage to your mother. I learned to sew and crochet from my mom, too. The armoire is a great idea. It inspires me to repurpose other furniture in my house. Thank you for sharing.

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Monique, I think most of us crafters learned about crafting from our moms or grandmas. Love our similarities! I am so glad that I have, somehow, inspired you to repurpose other furniture in your house. I am sure whatever you decide to do would be amazing. Have a wonderful weekend ahead. Thanks for watching. Hugs ~ Josie :)

[@LorettaRodger]

What a fun and creative place to play!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Loretta, it sure is! Thanks for watching. Happy New Year! Hugs ~ Josie :)

[@carlasim1647]

Hi Josie I have been a subscriber to your channel for a little while, just recently I learned that if I tap on the image of the person that it brings up the playlist and past videos. So I have been bingeing on your videos. You are so creative and knowledgeable, I enjoy your personality. I love sewing , crocheting , knitting,and crafting, so I have a lot of stuff to try to corral in a small area.Thank you for all the awesome ideas I am always trying to organize my stuff,wish me luck.Carla from Arizona.

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Thanks so much, Carla. For your kind words. I'm motivated to do more! Have a wonderful day. Hugs from California- Josie 🤗💕

[@angiesimms9101]

I love it. The ribbon hanging through the basket adds color and the space is amazing. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Angie, yes those ribbons do add colors. Thanks for pointing out. Appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching. Hugs :)

[@IPScrap]

Ohhh...I would love to live near you. I really like your ideas and we like a lot of the same things. I learn too, with my mum to sew, but haven't do a lot and got a machine and never used it. You'll have to show us your sewing projects, too. I can't wait to see what you create. Have a wonderful week!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Aww, thank you ! That's the beauty of internet and social networking, we don't have to live near each other to share ideas. I am so happy to find people of same likes and hobbies. It's very interesting that we have a lot in common. I will certainly share my projects once I get started and get the hang of it. I am not good at sewing machines, I sew mostly by hand. However, machines make tighter stitches and better at thicker materials. Hope you have a wonderful week as well. TFW, hugs :)

[@debra_marie_creates4380]

Awesome! I never thought to buy a small sewing machine to use in my craft room to sew on tags and cards! My large one is too heavy for me to lug to my craft space from the closet where it's stored. So thank you for that reminder. Great homage for your Mother. I was watching a video earlier by another YouTub-er that I follow and she was crocheting a tassel, it brought back wonderful memories of my Grandmother teaching me to crochet and knit. I know I will be really rusty at it, but I'm going to add it to my craft time in the future. Thank you so much for showing an alternative for crafters with limited space. Really nice up cycle 😀

[@LifeDIYJosie]

I really think most of us crafters learned firsthand from our mothers and grandmothers. As descendants, we owe it to them to continue the tradition. I am so glad that I am in good company with the fellow crafters that I meet here on YT. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It warms my heart. Hope you have a wonderful week. Tfw, XOXO :)

[@despinamitsou7258]

You are a very clever lady. Wow!! Lots of ideas. I am going to use them all. TFS. Hugs from Greece.

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Debbie...hope you can implement them there in Greece. TFW, hugs :)

[@marcie1972]

This is a wonderful idea, such a crafty mind!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Thank you so much Victoria. I am so happy you do! TFW, hugs :)

[@testingtesting...123...2]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I'm totally gonna look for old TV armoires now!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Awesome! You can find one on sale almost on a daily basis. I belong to our local Facebook group for garage or estate sales, not a single day passes by without anyone selling an old TV armoire or computer hutch. Have fun with this one! Tfw, hugs :)

Hi Dee, my friend. Yes, I try to make things that can have multi-functionalities. I appreciate you noticing! Enjoy your week. XOXO :)

[@RosannaMcCoy]

I love armoires because you can use them for so many purposes! i love your new sewing center Josie! I know you will have lots of fun at Joann finding beautiful sewing fabrics and notions! My mom was a seamstress trained in Italy so I have a love for sewing in my heart...so your video brought those memories back for me. Blessings!!

Wow Rozy, that is such a heartwarming story. I bet you are really good in sewing. I'd love to see some samples in your channel. I am so happy I brought some good memories back. It warms the heart! Blessings to you always. Hugs :)

[@princessalways4eva]

Nice project. Way to improvise!👍🏼

[@LifeDIYJosie]

I have stared at this humongous thing and said it can be better than a catch-all. Now, I can't top looking at it and adding materials. Tfw, hugs :)

[@ladypinkbagsetc.9116]

This will be a great craft and cardmaking area in side my sewing studio! I can not believe I did not think of this... Awesome idea. I sew all the time but want to free up some space since my sewing space is huge and ever growing. My crafting is a hobby but just as important for relaxing. Thank you sew much for an awesome video!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Thanks and you're welcome, Sew Pink Weiszer. I understand how it is with a crafting space that is ever growing. I have the same dilemma. That's why I am into creating organizers, I need them too! LOL. I am so glad that you find this project helpful in your situation. Enjoy it and HAPPY SEWING! Hugs~ Josie :)

[@magdacortes4698]

Craft is my passion

[@LifeDIYJosie]

That's great! So is mine! Hugs :)

[@tonisuewasher181]

Hi! What a great way to re-purpose an armoire! It looks terrific! You have some wonderful ideas that I can't wait to try! My daughter has an armoire that she wants to get rid of, but I may try to talk her into keeping it! I bought her a sewing machine and she wants to learn how to sew! This would be perfect for her! Thanks for sharing your design! Take care! Your friend from Fort Worth.

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Toni Sue, yes, tell your daughter to keep her armoire. She can definitely use it for her sewing station. Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate the support. Have a wonderful day. Hugs ~ Josie :)

[@LaverneSantangelofierce]

Awesome! I always see armoires at the resale shops and alway wonder how to make over for crafting. Great ideas! Looks Great!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Laverne, funny you said that. I see them on a Facebook group for garage and estate sales in my county. They range from $0 to a couple of hundreds. I almost sold ours when we had a garage sale before moving here, but I just couldn't part from something as well made. Tfw, have a wonderful week! Hugs :)

[@jackieo8693]

Nice! I really like the magnetic board!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Thanks Jackie O! I love that one too! Enjoy your week! Hugs~ Josie :)

[@TeresaBranham]

Great idea!!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Thanks, Veronicadarlene! Hugs~ Josie 🤗

[@created2bless322]

Aw Josie, I learned to sew from my mom too and I also have a closet type thingy, haha. I can relate to the catch all theme. I have moved mine to my living room and knew I wanted to use it for my crafts. I think I will copy you and use it for my sewing supplies, crocheting too. I suppose my sewing will be done on my kitchen table. Other crafts will be stored elsewhere. Thank you, Josie for this video! God bless

[@LifeDIYJosie]

You're very welcome June! Thanks for watching and sharing your story with me. That's a great idea using your kitchen table for sewing. I use a folding table I got at Walmart. I stow it when not in use. Have a wonderful and blessed week. Hugs~ Josie :)

[@czm0307]

I bought an armoire from goodwill for $50 for the same purpose. I painted the outside, now I need to set up the inside. I will show you when I am done. TFS.

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Oh wow, that's awesome. Once done, don't forget to tag me on IG. My account is life50nbeyond. All my other social media account are on my home page cover. I am so excited to see how it turned out. Thanks for letting me know. TFW, hugs~ Josie :)

[@georginagaskin2503]

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Georgina, thanks for your kind comments. Blessings and hugs your way! :)

[@veronicasalas2666]

I have been interested in learning how to sew too. This was a great video. I like how you organized your space. 9,000 subs yay👍

[@veronicasalas2666]

I crochet a bit too. Only scarves and simple blankets but am looking into learning other patterns. I'll buy a book at Michaels when they have a good sale. You have my creative mind going 😊

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Thanks Veronica. I am so excited to reach over 9K subs. I couldn't have done it without the support of everyone. I will have a giveaway soon to commemorate my 1st year anniversary as a youtuber and for reaching 10K soon...I hope. Also, I am glad that I am not alone in my quest to become a better sewer and crocheter. I may be able to get tips from you...tfw, hugs ~ Josie :)

[@LindaaMujerrLab]

very creative n nice, luv it. tfs mama. oX

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Thank you so much. Hugs :)

[@patrice8257]

You can place a piece of ply board and lay it accross that top drawer when open and use it for the sewing machine

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Awesome idea Patrice! Thanks for your suggestion! I might just do that. Brilliant!!! Have a wonderful weekend. TFW, hugs ~ Josie :)

[@jojohnson740]

I missed on an opportunity in buying an armoire to do the same thing. I do plan to convert one for my craft area.

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Jo, you can find another one. Check your local Facebook garage sale group, you should be able to find one there. Tfw, hugs :)

[@sandraguajardo236]

Do you have or can you make an updated video. This is a AWSOME idea!

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Thanks Sandra! I'll probably include it when I upload my craft room tour...hopefully, soon! TFW, hugs~ Josie :)

[@martadinzey6794]

Bello todo.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Gracias Marta. TFW- Josie :)

[@Skies133]

Me : No craft room *OR* craft armoire 😫 could you do a craft *suitcase* ? For those of us constantly on the go? Would really appreciate it!

[@kmscrap]

Love this. I have an armoire that is empty as well. I need to fix one of the drawer bottoms as it collapses. Are you able to close the cabinet doors without the hanging items hitting the shelf ?

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi kmscrap...that is wonderful...you will love it when you convert the empty armoire to something functional. As for the two hanging things, they do not hit the shelves of my armoire. There's enough clearance to allow me to add those and able to close freely. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. If you have any additional questions, please let me know. Hugs ~ Josie :)

[@kayesmith2518]

I just got one from a house that was be renovated and it was left behind bc it was toooo heavy. I want to use it for crafting supplies

[@MyFungal]

i did the same thing with mine only thing is i'm looking for someone to add a folding table that folds into the armoire

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Me too Donna! Either a folding or sliding one would do! The computer armoire is perfect with the desk that slides out. So, I think there are parts we can buy at home improvement stores. Worth exploring. TFW and sharing your thoughts. Hugs ~ Josie :)

[@ThisRainbowLife]

Hey you hit 6k since last I watched! Congrats Josie! you are amazingly creative! Can you come to my house and organize my craft room!?! lol...

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Mary, thank you so much! I am also amazed at how much my channel have grown! Thanks to viewers like you. Lol, you and others would like me to come organize their craft rooms. I often wonder if I do, we would just be giggling and talking...no work will be done. LOL. TFW, enjoy your week. Hugs! :)

[@Sanakashmiri1]

awesome

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Thanks Sana! Hugs :)

[@judyortiz5745]

I just sub. I think you are pretty smart and crafty. I want to make something to set on my craft table at the end. It can be as high as 24" tall. I would like clear. How about some 💡 for me to start.

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Judy, you can add one of those folding tables that you can buy form Lowes, Home Depot, Office Depot, or Staples. It is very inexpensive, durable, and you can easily fold it or storage behind the armoire when not in use. However, if you want something to make like a slide out table that is incorporated in the armoire, you can have one made using those rollers used inside the kitchen cabinets to store pots and pans, but replace it with a solid flat wood. Hope these ideas help. Thanks for watching and for your questions. Hugs ~ Josie :)
