Re-Organzining Jersey Girl Craft Studio

I have spent the last week or so cleaning out and reorganizing my craft studio.  It was lots of work but so glad its done.  I finally have all my stuff in one area and my home office is back to being just a home office..

 Full look at the craft studio.  Its a lot of stuff packed into a small space.  The room is 12 x 15.  I have tried to utilize every space possible in the room to store all my crafting stuff.  I do all different kinds of crafting so I many different areas to work in. 



The Color Station.  Here I keep my acrylic and oil paints, glimmer mists, ink pads, chalk paint,
alcohol inks, re-inkers, paint sprays, distress inks, and smooch inks.



Glitter and Washi tape.  Both are home made holders.



Here is where I store tons of different crafting items.  I have 5 dressers with draws filled of all kinds of crafting items like material, paper, office supplies, mugs and coffee as well as my gift bags.. (I make gift baskets from time to time) Embellishments, washi tape, glue etc.. 


My view of the pool from the craft studio. 

I have my crafting buddy Mr. Cricut there to keep me company :)




In front of my color station, I have a rack of my embellishments.   I have three of these racks around the room, one has my embellishments on it, one has clear stamps, and the last one, I keep all my custom made greeting cards on.   

In the recollections drawers under the rack of embellishments, I keep my wooden stamps and more of my clear cling stamps and blocks.  I also have some more ink pads in here.

Next to the color station is one of my paper storage areas.  This is mostly 12 x 12 pads and loose papers.  I also have a drawer with 12 x 12 sheets of vinyl and a paper scrap drawer. 



Here I keep my essential oils, soap bases, candle making supplies, bath salts and sugar scrubs.  I make my own perfume, bath salts/scrubs, shampoo and beauty products as well as soap and candles.   I have most of my supplies for these in these two cabinets.

I also have my sewing machine sitting on the shelf covered in pink.  The only craft machines I don’t have in my craft room are my Cricuts.  My expression 2 is hooked to my computer in my bedroom. I am going to bring it into the craft studio but I need to find a place to put it and I seem to be out of space.  My Cricut Explore is in my home office connected to my 27 inch I-Mac.  That will stay there.  I can design what I want on my laptop in the craft studio, then go to my desktop in the office and cut my designs there.   If I had more room in my craft studio, I would have definitely set up a die cut area.  But this will work for now. 



I had new business cards made.  One one side is my Legal services business and on the other side is my craft business.   Easier than carrying around a bunch of different business cards.

My larger work station with my laptop and my much needed magnifying lamp.



Storage for all my misc items.  Bookcase on the far wall stores my Xyron Sticker makers, Cuttlebug, Alcohol inks, blank cards, 8 x 11 card stock, more embellishments, die cuts, embossing folders, doubles of my cricut cartridges and wood projects I am working on. 



Again another look my view from my desk.   The view always seems to make me relax.
