If you are a regular follower of mine, the hop starts over at Amber's Blog.
One of our last acts being on the current Crop Chocolate Design Team is helping everyone with their organization! There have been many a cry "HELP, I'm drowning in my stuff and don't know what to do with it any more"! Relax, we're here to help :-) I've posted before my overall room (click HERE to see previous post) and I'm sick of doing that, so this time I'm taking the "in depth" approach, little snippets of my room... here we go:
This is my secondary ribbon spool storage, for those "overflow" rolls that don't fit on my main ribbon spool that my sweetheart made me (click HERE to see, it's completely full now). I put a large black clippie on the bottom of the white roll of ribbon onto a dowel rod and just lean it against the back of the door frame that goes to the living room (glass french doors separate my room ).
Next comes a re-purposed floral vase I
received years ago that I keep my KaiserColour paints in. It's the perfect size for the 6 I have.
Loose Ribbon storage is handled using wood spools I purchased from RibbonCarrousel then stored them on a plain old wood spool storage thingy from JoAnn's. These large spools are metal (don't you just LOVE them) I got from Sign Sealed Delivered Annex in Springdale, Arkansas. They make a huge impact yet are practical too... just how I like my stuff to be!
a small wood corner shelf holds Smooch & Tattered Angels.... sprays, glazes, glams. Other sprays are stored elsewhere but these are my latest & greatest so I have them out & handy to grab off the wall.
On the other shelf, I have all my TH Color Wash Sprays & Distress Stains along with a couple of TH crackle paints.
This is all of my twine from The Twinery along with new zip top baggies from Crop Chocolate for my small color coded items. It looks messy but it's so easy to find what I'm looking for & sometimes trip over another item to use... I love cheap curtain rods! This area will continually change to meet my needs & what supplies I have.

OK
Love the spools and the ribbon holders!! And look at all that twine... Looks great and can't wait to see your new shelves.
ReplyDelete(I thought I commented already?)
ReplyDeleteAnyways--great room, Paula! I am taking your idea for the curtain rod--was looking for an idea but couldn't think of it, and now I know! Great idea. A place for everything and everything in its place--love it. I would give those gently used stamps a great home 9IMO!) lol..
I love all the wall storage! And for the blog candy...gently used stamps :-) You know where to find me on CC! (not sure why it shows dmack7 as a follower and not paperdoll.
ReplyDeleteWow - soooo cool, love the ribbon holders and the storage shelves!! I am now a follower. love the gently used stamps!! I LOVE that "P" too!! very nice!!
ReplyDeleteLove that everything is out and ready to use, yet organized and displayed in such a way that, for me, it almost works as decor in the space. I too love the ribbon dowel idea - pretty, portable, and accessible! The gently used stamps are so cute. You can find me on CC - really enjoyed your DT projects :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the embellishments in clear bags easily visable! Paper Mishmash. mlakely@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm doing this hop, you never know what you'll learn, and I was looking for wooden spools. Thanks for saying where you got them! I'm a follower, I like the stamps and I really like how you store your ribbon, but I'd like to know how you keep the ends so neat.
ReplyDelete(4myk9s on CC)
I uses straight pins on my ribbons with the colored ball on the end of them. it does leave a tiny hole in the ribbon but you can't really see the hole when you're using it, normally the hole completely disappears! Occasionally I do get poked but for the neatness factor, it's worth it ;-)
DeleteHoly smokes, Paula! Once again, you amaze me with how awesome you are - I *love* how organized you are! My favorite part is your loose ribbon storage (how cute and colorful!) although I'm definitely going to adopt your card storage idea (I'm always hunting for my blank cards/envelopes). Great idea about the twine, too! I am a follower! I like gently used stamps better because you can use them over and over and over... :) You can contact me through my blog symbol or at CC (Chocolatier Miwa). I am curious, though, to know what your curtain rods (with the twine rolls) are hanging on - a wall? in the closet? Thanks for the tour! :)
ReplyDeletethe walls in my room are navy (I don't have a closet because this is really the office) and my curtains are lime. The curtain rods are hung on a wall next to the window and about 6" of the rod extends over the window
DeleteI love your little shelf for inks (and want all your inks!!) I like paper MishMash. My email address is karey2005@sbcglobal.net)
ReplyDeleteI love all your ink shelfs and your ribbon spools!
ReplyDeletePaper MishMash :)
Paula...I love that your space is an ACTUAL room, and that it's close to your living room, so you're not completely cut off when you're crafting!! My favorite organizational part of your room is your DH's shelves for paper, but feasibly for me I LOVE the twinery spools on the curtain rods...and w/ the clip-it-ups in between is it's own little bit of genius! ;) I love the stamps...those are JustRite, aren't they? I actually don't own any of those! You can always catch me on CC...SharonDoesBaskets! :) Thanks, Paula!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the loose ribbon storage. I have a bunch of old spools that are just waiting for me to do something with and you've given me a great idea. Thanks for sharing your space with us time and time again. I just love it. As for the blog candy . . . gently used stamps. :) It's Clayton528 on CC . . . it shows me as clayton528 as a follower instead of Katherine Clayton, not sure why (I've noticed this on other blogs, too.) Thanks again!!!

ReplyDeleteBrit K.
Hi I am now a follower! I really like how you have your distress ink pads and stains right out where you can find them, but they still look nice and organized. I do like your newest favorite update as well, you are very organized! I would pick the gently used stamps if I am lucky enough to be a winner! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHey there Paula!! :o) i have one of those wire rack thingy's too and i wish i had some other place to put that stuff! It seems to just collect more and more stuff! Thanks for the hop and I can't believe i wasn't a follower before! THanks again now off to the next! :o)
ReplyDeleteI really like the spool holder and curtain rod ideas. Great storage inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow Paula you have so many great ideas, I love your twine collection.

Looks great Paula but something black, white and furry seems to be missing? I already follow your blog 'cause I like it! My favorite part of your room is the loose ribbon storage on those spools. Love that idea! If I win the candy, I'd prefer the gently used stamps, please! I think you have my email already..... ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Nice room. Interesting storage ideas.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I love the cheap curtain rod idea. I think I still have a spare or 2 from our old house buried in storage. I never thought to use them that way. I love the gently used stamps, if I win (not usually that lucky) you can PM me at DeeMcD on CC. Thanks for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteLove all the organization! My favorite part is how you have your twine stored! I'm a new follower and I love the mishamash of paper! Thanks for the chance! floresfour@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI love your twine/curtain rod storage. It is pretty and functional!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you've used the curtain rods to store the twine and the different bags of color coded items. I bet that really makes it easy to find stuff! :) I'm a paper junkie so I have my eye on the Paper Mish Mash prize. You can get in touch with me at beaverloadingnun at msn dot com
ReplyDeleteI am a follower. i like your cutain rods with twine and baggies.
ReplyDeletei would love to win the gently used stamps!

I love the twine holders...it looks so fun yet organized! I would love the stamps if I am chosen to win and you can get in touch with me via PM on CC iladyj.
ReplyDeleteI like your twine and bags. I don't have anyplace to put anything like that, but I like it. I like your gently used stamps, though I probably have some of them already. I think you can find the NWFlamingo if you try. Tee Hee!
ReplyDeleteHi Paula. I am a follower. I love your whole room! Yours was one of the first blogs that I wandered to after joining CC because of a comment that you left about the storage creation for your pens and I was in awe of your scrappy space! Since I have to chose, I like your shelves with your inks, washes and mists displayed and within reach, but off of your workspace. I will definitely have to do something similar once I get things cleaned up around here. I am a visual person-if it is not within sight, I forget about it! I would chose the gently used stamps if I am so lucky to win.
ReplyDeleteYou can PM me on CC
Thanks for all of your ideas!
I already follow your blog. My favorite part of your room is the curtain rods with the twine and hanging bags! If I were to win I'd love the gently used stamps. You know where to find me!
ReplyDeleteI'm already a follower of your blog, Paula. I like so many parts of your room, from what you've shown here, and on a previous post. But I really like your loose ribbon storage that you have stored on metal spools (never saw those before!). If I were lucky enough to win, I would love the gently used stamps, and you can PM me on CC :)
ReplyDeletePaula, your space is awesome! Love the ideas you shared!
ReplyDeleteHi Paula, I'm a new follower and though I love your whole scrap room, my favorite part is the "Curtain Rod Organizer" - great idea! I can be reaced on CC's website (Juliet).
ReplyDeleteOops, it's Joyce (aka Juliet) again - I forgot to say if I were lucky enough to win your blog candy, my 1st choice would be the gently used stamps!
ReplyDeleteWow, more great ideas! I really like the ribbon storage and the wall with the twine and the CC zip lock bags. (Now I know who keeps buying them before I get a chance!)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the corner shelf idea. You can go up without really taking any space from your work area! Great job lady. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the ribbon storage your husband made, it's really nice.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you I like the stamps, in case I win. You can reach me at lauraann562@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteI love how you design and your DH makes it work for you. Hope he gets that new piece done for you soon. My favorite area is the "changable" area. Because of new products and ideas, I can see where there is a need for this section. Thanks for sharing. By the way, I am a big stamper, but have all those that CC has up for sale. Thanks anyway.
ReplyDeleteI really like the curtain rods, with the little organized baggies! that is such a fantastic idea. I will have to steal that!
ReplyDeleteFollowing with same name.
Stamps i think would be my pref, but either would be awesome. =)
Love the corner shelf. So organized
ReplyDeleteNow following you....love spool storage...would love the stamps and you can reach me at crazyanniesstitchin@yahoo.com
ReplyDeletelove all of these wonderful ideas you ladies have. getting me inspired to finish getting organized in my craft room.
OMG . . . I have 2 favs. . . #1 is the link to the RibbonCarrousel because I have been wanting to get some spools. #2 is the dowel against the door for ribbon storage; simple, effective and space saving! Thanks. If selected, I prefer paper and I'm at MKPstamps@verizon.net.
