Crafters Companion's pen storage

Could this be the ultimate pen storage?

It is made by Crafters Companion (UK craft company but available in the USA too) and  they say it will accommodate any pen type available right now in the craft market. It certainly looks great and has all the interlocking and arranging ways that a crafter would want.

Ps, this is NOT a sponsored post! I haven't tried the system myself (yet) so I can't really comment on it just yet.

Cherry's Scrappy Cottage

I will let Cherry explain her Scrappy Cottage:

It is an 11x11 cottage in the back yard. My husband had it built for me so I could have a place all my own. I just think he was tired of all the girly stuff inside the house.

I love shabby chic, it is such a restful look. This is a place that I can create, dream and pray in.

The antique doll buggies were in my closet for sometime, I just could not get rid of them. So if I was going to keep them they had to be use, so that is how they became my ribbon storage.

 I was talking to my dad about needing a girly pen holder, so he made these, and I think they go perfect in the space.

Alissa's Craft Room

Alissa of 33 Shades of Green is not only an Interior designer, but also a crafter, she has sewing projects decorating projects and a fabulous space to do it all in.

I love the old table that beam on the bottom with the sewing machine on it seems so practical.

She uses lots of nice jars to store her supplies, always visible and neat.

Lots of inspirational touches sprinkled around.

Harriet's idea: Copic (or any pen) storage

Love this idea from Harriet Hensley. A silverware holder, as seen in a cafeteria or restaurant. An additional advantage is the plastic holder can be removed and taken to your work table.

gm glimmerglass Studio

Oh my goodness golly. When I first saw the AMAZING studio over at gm glimmerglass, I was stunned. Speechless, really.

We all love to keep our crafty areas organized, but that often turns into a very practical decor. Lots of drawers and plastic and labels. That often clashes with our sense of colour, space, and aesthetics. Genevieve has found the best of both worlds, weaving soft colours, lots of texture, and most of all, warmth into her craft studio.(photo courtesy of gm glimmerglass)

In her own words:

"Working in a little shoebox of a studio, I try to maximize every inch of space while keeping things visually clear. I've kept the walls "very vanilla" which provides me with a calm surround for some of the eye-popping, intensely colored artwork that comes outa here."

Hop over to Genevieve's blog to see all the photos, and hear more about her amazing room! There are two posts: Let's Get this Party Started and Zoom and Enhance. Look for her cool marker storage idea and don't miss Godzilla wearing pearls! :D

Shirley's Promarker/Copic idea

Shirley's idea is superb. Funnily enough I always glanced over this Ikea DVD storage rack, but never quite figured what they could be useful for apart from the obvious DVDs. 
Shirle's husband made her this Promarker/Copic cabinet. He cut the trays into 3 and this is what he made. It measures 14" wide and 11" high.

Suzanne's Stamping room

Love it! I will let Suzanne explain it.


All my cabinets except those on the right wall are built on casters and actually roll into different configurations so that I can change the floor plan when I have friends over for classes.  The walls are a pale yellow and the floor is a dark black hardwood.  All trim and cabinets are white. The tile on the cabinet tops are 16 inch floor tile and are not fastened down so that I can change the configuration of the cabinets as I like.  The words on the walls are vision, art, dream, and imagination. I hope you enjoy looking at my space - I have enjoyed showing it off.

Coloured Pencil Storage

Kasia solved her pencil storage problems by making and decorating her own display box.

As we all know, supplies that you can see are the supplies that are most likely to be used - keeping pencils tucked away in their original boxes can mean they never see the light of day!

Kasia's problem was that she had different sets of pencils with similar shades and couldn't really see if they'd work together when they were all stored separately. By creating a segmented display box to store her pencils in, she has colour inspiration at her fingertips and can easily see how well pencils from different sets work together.

You can view her original post (in Polish) here.
