CRAFT ROOM ORGANIZATION & YOUTUBE TOUR

Yep, it’s my first YouTube video in over a year! 

Last year was such a difficult year for all of us. Priorities were shifted. And for me, that meant having to drop YouTube off my rotation.

But now I’m back with a new video and another one on the way – yay!

But before you watch today’s video, take a peek at all the changes I’ve made to my craft room – at least since the last tour on Facebook Live which also included some yarn storage tips.

(The FULL SOURCE LIST from today’s blog can be found at the BOTTOM OF THIS POST).

My craft space is “L-shaped” with the longest view taken up by my IKEA Kallax storage shelves.

I’ve had them for a year and a half now and couldn’t be happier with them, so I decided to add more.

But with no home delivery in my area and wanting to minimize my contact with the outside world – I found similar storage boxes on Amazon (see the full source list at the bottom of this post) that fit my Kallax shelves AND were less expensive.

Sandwiched between the two Kallax storage shelving systems is my home office.

The desk and add-on shelving is another Kallax design that kept things tidy. And once I added the plastic woven bins and more letter trays, my desk space felt so much more organized!

Making your way into the far corner (on the right) – and I’m SO EXCITED about this – I’ve installed wall-mounted hangers to store all my fibre art samples and finished pieces.

As you swing around to the end (where the L takes a sharp turn), I’ve got nearly all my yarn stored in IKEA Billy Bookcases – as before – but with ONE CRUCIAL difference.

These under-shelf storage baskets are a great way to maximize storage on each shelf while keeping things a bit tidier.

      I’ve stacked several 3-drawer organizers underneath. These are the Sterilite ones here: https://amzn.to/3xIYdGN (just be careful to look for the best price on amazon as it varies widely!). You can also find them at Staples.
