Your VINTAGE Creative Spaces Organization Guide | Using Thrifted & Antique Finds

[@greylilycalligraphy]

Truest thing I have ever heard!!!! Clutter ATTRACTS CLUTTER!!!!! Love it!!

[@whatlolawants2167]

Thank you so much Sarah. This has been the very best organization video that has been applicable to me that I feel I have ever seen. It's been so well done and precise that I feel I can really accomplish it. You've used such beautiful thrifted and other items that make the space a delightful haven. Thank you again for including a printable making it foolproof. You are such a lovely treasure. God bless you.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

You are so welcome, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I collect a particular pattern of Depression glassware, and one time my Mom found a Depression glass ice bucket in a free box at a yard sale. It was absolutely filthy, which was easily remedied. It was then that she saw the word “Frigidaire” on the bottom. It had apparently come with refrigerators at one point. It is one of my favorite things!🙂

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Oh my goodness, what a fun story, I love it!

[@phyllisshand6183]

I redid an old metal trunk after being inspired by yours. I too keep painting supplies in it. I store it in our basement so I am the only one that sees it. I wanted to put legs on it so I wouldn’t have to bend down but wanted it to be sturdy. Instead of furniture legs I opted for 2 x 4 legs and then painted everything black. Because there is now an open space under the trunk, I store drop cloths in a tote box underneath. I would never have thought of this on my own. Thank you so much.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Oh fun! Your trunk sounds amazing, happy I could help!

[@bryzalpha]

Thank you. I have always been a crafty girl. While there are lots of videos for organizing the home, there are few for organizing all the things a crafty girl collects. Beautiful and practical ideas.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Oh good, I'm happy to help! xo

[@BethanieStorer]

Sarah, I really appreciate this video. I want to organize with class, but everything I find on the Internet about home organization uses plastic and Ikea furniture. I love your classy approach and would appreciate more organization videos.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you, what a wonderful compliment!

[@teresasines1524]

It is better to have an idea of what you need to store before a purchase but I love vintage containers and you have given me ideas of how to use them.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

This is true, it seems like it changes each year, though, for exactly how I want it organized.

[@pchaplin8158]

This absolutely beautifully displays your collection, and keeps everything organized. Aesthetically pleasing.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you, what a sweet thing to say!

[@canadiangirl5159]

I worked at Fabricland back in the early 80's in Calgary. I still have a huge stash of fabric from when I worked there. Now they're all vintage.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Oh wow! I love that!

[@kimberleymansfield1099]

Hi Sarah, thank you very much for this video. I have a bunch of old wire baskets and wooden file folders I was going to put in a garage sale but you have completly inspired me to spray or brush paint them for new uses....I am so excited!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Great idea, Kimberley!

[@jodeez]

I love that you use vintage items for storage. And that you embrace the mismatched and eclectic and NOT white or clear plastic. I love using glass jars and metal buckets as well as wood crates. The vintage sewing drawers are fabulous (I remember the video when you got yours). I also love the wooden “in” boxes. I haven’t seen one of your videos for awhile, but I truly enjoyed this one. I’m back!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@StelmaDesigns]

We have a window in our upstairs hall closet too. That closet is a nightmare. You know how old farmhouses never have enough storage or closet space, so I want to redo that closet so badly it's basically raw unfinished wood on the inside too so a lot to do. I am organizing like crazy this summer thanks to your awesome videos Sarah! My home is more beautiful than it's ever been. Thank you! oxJulia

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Aww, I'm so happy your home is becoming so beautiful!

[@melindaferreira9879]

Perfect timing. Just began organizing two desks last night. I always decant liquid soaps, other items when i am able.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Happy organizing, Melinda!

[@lisamarutz9772]

I just loved everything about this ❤

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you!

[@hammerandspoons]

Omg! Just in time for me! I need to re-organize my craft supplies. ❤

[@SheHoldsDearly]

You got this!

[@tammyr6669]

I love this video and needed it so bad. I am in the middle of refinishing the top of an antique kitchen table and have so many prep items I had to gather before starting this project. Gel stripper, stain, brushes, rags, sander, sand paper, stirs, and so much more. It was like an scavenger hunt! Lol. I will be organizing all these items when finished and properly storing them together. I have the space and just haven't done it. Thanks for the inspiration!❤

[@SheHoldsDearly]

OH, good, Tammy! Happy to have inspired you!

[@Cinderella1125]

Great organizing video! Making your spaces pretty and organized is a great way to help you enjoy doing projects.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Yes! Thank you!

[@lmddavis7748]

Your organization ideas are wonderful. Love how you used your trunk 😊

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Aww, thank you so much!

[@nicoletaincze7614]

Awesome! Thank you, Sarah!!🥰

[@laureljackson8978]

What a great video, packed with excellent ideas! Makes me want to get up and organize my craft closet! of course a couple of trips to the thrift store or yard sales are now in order (which I love.) Thank you for the all the clever ideas. Bless you!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

So fun!!! Thanks for watching, Laurel!

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Great Video. Everyone needs organization in their home! Thanks for sharing yours.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

You are so welcome, Terri!

[@TheDeltaCrafterYT]

Such great tips! I ❤ the paint trunk! That’s fabulous!!! 😍

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thanks so much!

[@helenf9650]

So many great ideas!! ✨❤✨I love how the labels make all the different types of vessels unified and seem intentional rather than random. I tend to skip past the section of the thrift store where they have those containers. ( not anymore 😂). I would make one change to the cutting pieces container…. I think you should store your exacto knife with the blade down. Ouch 😂 thanks for the inspiration. You are so right… “clutter is a magnet”

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Oh yes, good idea! Glad you liked the video!

[@gracemoore384]

Excellent job on organizing …everything has a place

[@SheHoldsDearly]

I look always to your videos but so ready for this no. 7 I am a person who likes to be organized. Great tip for painting supplies.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Oh good, happy to help!

[@aquariuslady777]

I love organization and living in a 300 square foot apartment I have to stay on top of things. I am a freelance photographer and I work for a book cover company so I have many props that I use the photograph. I got three short rectangular boxes from a print shop that paper ships in and have them number one two and three so I know what props are inside each box. And I use 12 x 12 scrapbooking paper for backdrops and was able to get a box for it and old-time photographs and different things at Hobby Lobby for storage

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Sounds like you've got great systems in place!

[@deborahhopkins7763]

Really great ideas! I love your craft closet.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you, Deborah!

[@carrieowens4907]

I found some glass kitchen containers at a garage sale and they a re too big for my Hoosier. You have given me the idea to use them in my craft room to keep supplies visual but away from dust. Love this video!!!!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Gah! I love this idea!

[@brendabowers2320]

My husband is fantastic at starting clutter! Lol ❤ Totally love this video! Gave me the best idea for all my paints in one place! I have a large walk in closet with super deep set of shelves which is extremely hard to find my bins without having to move things. Thanks! Have a blessed week! ❤

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Oh good! Happy to help!

[@jmadsen6118]

Wonderful Sarah! I'd love to see the same with bathroom supplies, kitchen supplies, etc. I abhor modern packaging and forever find myself decanting anything possible. Such great ideas here!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

ooo that's a great idea!

[@tep1962]

Love that truck organization. Very clever idea.

I feel so overwhelmed with my cluttered buffet table that I didn't even really want to click on this video, but it has been sooooo helpful beyond what I was thinking, and very aesthetically mindful as well.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@shirlyseewai3677]

I think this was one of your best video in a long time I really appreciated this video well executed plus everyone doing craft or did can relate to this when you have ideas and things not organized you loose the desire and idea having to look for things well done Keep these videos coming.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@lindaklesmith1076]

Thank you thank you! This was an extremely helpful video… I kinda struggle in the organizational department and need all the inspiration I can get💕

[@kellenelimpert4369]

okay!!! this has given me new ideas for my crafting supplies!!! because I didn't think I had room for such a space, then as Im watching,,, I'm thinking if the closet that goes to my spare room( which has been my grandchildren room since they were born. It has a spacious closet, not as big as your room but I think it could work . My grandchildren are not babies anymore and are totally into crafts, so this could work! lol, thank you for the amazing ideas😀

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Oh yay! This makes me so happy!🥳🥳

My husbands chest of drawers is sooo bad. He has papers piled up at least 9” ( it’s how he does the bills, collects receipts etc. ) plus he leaves his folded clean laundry on the floor in front of it on the floor. We’ve been married 44 years he’s retired now . He doesn’t want me to fix it - he’ll get to it 🤣🤣🤣. Married life ehh. I’ve bought cute baskets etc for him - they are under there somewhere. 😳

[@debbie931]

I had to giggle when you said you’ve been married 44 years. We’ve been married 43 and I totally understand what you’re saying. I have learned that you just have to pick your battles and look at the good. It does get on my nerves but I try not to let it.

[@flowerpower3618]

[@ivaneteroark710]

I am very mindful of my boundaries in my marriage but if I were you I would go ahead and put his laundry away, I wouldn’t touch his papers however, I hope it helps, best wishes XO

SARAH!!! It’s only been a week since you posted, yet I am craving beauty, and your music in styling, and I just wanted to let you know, and I hope you will see this comment… I miss you, your vlogs.. I’m selfishly thinking of me, but ultimately waiting for you to help me further organize and define my spaces 😊 I reeeaaaly (the way my almost 2 ur old lets me know something) wish I could be at the Bespoke retreat! See you soon! 😊

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Aww, I missed posting last week, too much going on with summer. But, thank you for reaching out!

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

When you started to talk about the sizes of things you keep, my mind screamed Nooooooo! I junk journal and keep the smallest bits and pieces to collage etc. I'm a multipotenialite and have never been able to do one or two types of crafts. I love to create and have a studio, but recently my husband let me take over a large third family room we rarely use. Unfortunately it doesn't stay organized much as I paint and move things around. I even keep pieces of lace that are one inch to layer into a journal. If you don't know what a junk journal is check out Ruby and Pearl xo, she makes amazing journals, that have a very vintage, old world vibe. I use some of mine for scripture, quotes, journaling, bible studies etc. I have one of those trunks and need to organize it like you showed. I keep all my home refurbishing stuff all over. I was thinking about getting rid of it because it's black. I guess I just need to paint it and rub and buff the metal.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Oh no! haha, you sound very creative! I love your trunk makeover idea!

[@gardengirl3142]

I love the ribbon pieces on the wooden spools. That’s going to be implemented in my studio next week!! Also, what did you use to decoupage your trunk? Is that wall paper? Love it all!!!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Oh Fun!! The paper in my trunk is wrapping paper. Here is the tutorial sheholdsdearly.com/how-to-decoupage-for-beginners/

Did those small bottles come with corks or do you purchase them separately?

[@SheHoldsDearly]

I purchased the corks on Amazon, they came in a variety of sizes.

[@lindaklesmith1076]

Where did you get the paper luggage tags from?

They were thrifted! But, you can find them on Amazon, too.

How can I use the metal bread baskets? I have several and can't figure out how to use them outside of bread.... 🤣 Brain block.
