“Spring Into Organization” – My Craft Room
March 28, 2012
If you are new here, welcome to my ‘clean’ cyber space! Thanks for stopping by – I hope to inspire you to do some simple organizing in your home. I have a little Etsy shop where I sell printables designed to take the work out of organizing your life and today I have a free printable designed to help you plan, carry out, and complete your next organizing project!
The opened desk – I love this piece of furniture – it’s solid and has a great profile.
To the left of the porch is the kids’ creating space – their art gallery is always rotating with their favorite art pieces. I love using oil cloth on tables for cuteness and for easy clean up.
These clips were from a craft store, I painted them to coordinate in the room and attached them with a nail – super simple!
These flashcards are above the big creating table – I made the clips with mini clothespins that I painted white and circle unpainted discs that I painted and hot glued to the clothespins. I strung them all together with white cord and that was it – easy!
I love this little corner – I used a couple vintage pieces to soften up the space and to add my style to the room.
This room has another closet that I turned into a storage galore area – when we’re done, everything gets closed up and put away.
I originally saw the idea for the wrapping station via BHG.com, and by searching the comments I found where it was from (see below). I love how it works, it’s only secured with the hooks and it works great!
This is the upper area, nothing fancy, but extra kid art storage, pictures, books, and random art supplies get stashed up here.
I like to put the art kits together for the kids – so up in those boxes to the left are individual projects waiting to happen. Play-doh, Do-a-Dot, spirograph, stamps and stamp pads…one thing at a time and not all at once makes them so much more fun!
I love this solution for craft paint paint storage – use an old Coca-Cola crate for craft paint – it’s works great!

Some of your PDF files are infected. THought you would want to know.
Clean Mama Says...
What do you mean by infected? Sometimes googledocs doesn’t convert certain fonts if you don’t have them on your computer, so it looks like there is something wrong with it. If you are having problems with ANY freebie, email me and I will send you the original pdf!

I’m pinning your art supply turntable now! We have a massive art explosion happening in our house, and I think I can corral it if I just try to imitate what you did:)

Your room looks great! It’s amazing how rooms revolve as our kids get older. Mine certainly have. My scrapbook room is here:http://waldenbunch.blogspot.com/2012/02/scrapbook-room-update.html

I think you just pinpointed one of my big organization pitfalls in your statement “one thing at a time and not all at once”. I see so many more possibilities for creativity by mixing the toys/crafts/bits and pieces that I just cannot enforce that rule for myself or my kids. : ) That makes cleaning a bigger job for sure.
Lindsay Says...
Awesome! Especially the closet storage galore. Looking forward for more great ideas xx
