Well, for those of you who read my Balance post, you know that my main goal for the month was to clean out our basement storage/craft room {and the garage too!}. With less than one week left, I am almost finished the organizing part. {I will post on this later this week!} In the interim, I thought that I would share some of the great inspirational ideas that I have come across. I did try to list the source for all of the photos but I missed a few. Let me know if you recognize the pics!
I love these tins to store pens, paintbrushes, and other small supplies.
Or these ones
Find cute little baskets to store ribbon, stamps, or small punches. {use a pin at the end of the ribbon so it doesn’t unroll on you!}
Use an unwanted bath caddy to hold some paper supplies. {You can also add some wire to the bottom and hang additional items}.
The kitchen is a great place to come up with storage pieces from muffin tins to egg cartons.
Now here’s a good excuse to stock up on some Pringles!
How I love pretty little things in jars! {especially with all the different colors!} Use jars to store buttons, pieces of ribbon, and other little embellishments.
Pegboards are a great way to add easy storage to your craft room and can be mounted on the inside of a door or on the wall keeping your workspace clutter free! And, of course, they can be custom painted to add that perfect punch of color!
Decorate plain white magazine holders with decorative packing tape {or scrapbook paper!}
Use a wine rack to store wrapping paper.
What to do with those left over scraps? Sort them by color and store them in plastic containers.
Use magnetic storage systems.
Here’s a little vintage storage with wire baskets and racks. The pictures are actually hung from a curtain rod with curtain clips {love this idea!}
So go on a little scavenger hunt around your house and see what you come up with! I would love to hear of any other ideas that you have.
Happy Organizing!!!
I wish my life looked like this! I am loving the white buckets on those hooks!
I agree with Ash!!! But for now, I wish I lived in a bigger place 🙂 Thank you for the inspiration, think I’m gonna have to borrow your idea 😉
