Craft Storage Video | Michelle Short Craft Room Tour August 2015

One of my favourite UK cardmakers and one very tidy crafter, Michelle Short of the Card Grotto, has shared a video and a full blog post on her Craft Room.

Melissa from Oh, Smudge Craft room

Melissa calls it her "new" rustic crafting space. I think it looks really good. I always like white furniture and bright colours.

As usual, you can see more photos a whole lot more explanation on her blog here.

Louise's Craft Loft

Lousie is a follower of this Blog and says she has gained much inspiration from it for her craft loft.

I always liked this idea to store the paper vertically using a shoe rack.

But I have never seen this idea before for Copics!

You can read all about it here.

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.

Leigh's markers storage idea

Leigh's ideas have been featured previously, and this time she surprised me with this usnual but great design. It is, obviously, a marker storage, but I think it is charming and useful in equal mesure. She sells them on ebay I believe (more info in here).

They are single units that you can assemble in many different ways and decorate as you wish. 

Kathy's Studio

I love the look of this space, it is a very grown up studio don't you think?
The room is 12' x 14'.
And look at this unit:

But this one bellow HAS to be my all time favorite drawer unit. So envious!

In a couple of day, Kathy will share some more ideas.

Sally Lynn's Copic Marker Storage

Sally Lynn couldn't find the Labelled Copic Marker Storage that she wanted or could afford so she designed her own from an Ikea CD holder

She went from this



to create this


Visit Sally Lynn's blog page here for her guide on 'how to'

p.s. Sally Lynn has an MS word file available with all the markers printed on it (as shown above), but you'll have to contact her direct if you want to request one.

Jenny's create room

Jenny's creating room is a lovely room full of personalized details.

Very pretty way to store Copics.

Love all those ink pads.

I just love this Promarkers storage idea.
Dianne has plenty more ideas to offer on her blog. Click here for them.

Tosh's room transformation

From this:

To this:

Same units, just a nice coat of paint over the units and the walls.

I have to say that it is inspiring seeing what people do with what they have got to make it work. (Love Tim Gunn!)

Sharon's Promarkers storage idea

Saron uses an acrylic desk pot with partitions from Muji, the great japanese store with shops in Europe, USA, Japan and, of course, available online. A similar option is what I have been using for a while, although mine is a bit wider so it has some restrictions, check it here.

Kimberly's creative space

Kimberly's room is 10' x 10' and was formerly a bedroom.

I love this idea on marker pen storage.

Cassandra's Craftroom Tour

Cassandra has a fabulous workspace, she has revamped it again and invited us all in for a tour, its well worth the trip!



There's lots of storage ideas, all very organised. I love this Copic & Glitter storage.



Cassandra loves her embossing centre/Zutter space: she says: "I love having a designated space to work on embossing projects. Since I wanted to be able to emboss without having to kneel over, I decided to stack my Jetmax Cubes 3 high so they were closer to a counter height which would allow me to stand while embossing. The cubes also allowed ample space to store all of my dies, embossing folders, and Zutter related products. Having a designated space for embossing allows me to keep out what I'm working on at my desk and not have to push everything out of the way to emboss."



The room dimensions are just under 10' x just over 13'.
