The closet in my scrap room has needed
some attention for a while but I could not get motivated to get it organized.
After trying to find something the other day I determined it was time to
organize my poor closet. I have to admit I am ashamed to share the
before photos but I have a feeling we all have that dreaded drawer (or closet)
we really don’t want someone to see and I think it will help you appreciate the
after pictures. J
Here we go…
From these pictures you can tell
things were stacked on top of stacks and the organized drawers were not even organized
as I had starting putting whatever needed to go somewhere in a drawer. The first
thing I had to do was start dragging everything out of the closet – why is it
you always have to make a bigger mess to get organized?
One of the first things I did
was organize my fabric and made mini bolts for my fabric which you can find
over at the Scrap
Shoppe. Ahh now I can finally see the fabric I have.
I also decided to take two boxes
I had to use for storage. The first one I covered with paper I found in my stash
and the second I covered with DCWV Decorative Trim and Tape (this was the first
time I used this and I am a fan).
I found some great bins at
Target that I used for the majority of my other items that I placed on shelves
I purchased from Lowes (I should have checked prices Target has them for less).
Are you ready!!!!!
After two days this is what my
closet looks like now!
1
– This basket holds the cleaning products for my computer, photo paper, CDs,
etc.
2
– This box holds all the pink & brown ribbons from the baby shower
3
– Well about this bin – this is the home of future projects
4
– This holds items like newspaper articles, event tickets, etc. to include in future
scrapbooks
5
– Ok, maybe I have two areas for future products not including what is on my
desk (shhh)
6
– A home for my totes instead of them being stacked on top of each other
7
– This file holder is home for my felt
8
– This is the Huggies box I covered with paper and now holds my decorating
ribbons

– My fabric all nice and neat
10
– These smaller bins are perfect for my paint brushes
11
– I used a plastic basket for my paints
12
– My yarn is all in one place
13
– Another small bin for my knitting looms
14
– Oh yes the lace bin (I got lucky and was able to catch a fabric store that
was closing)
15
– All things cross-stitching can be found here
16
– Misc – here is where all the odd and ins are now instead of just being placed
where ever
Here
are a few more pictures that are close up.
I also bought this cute over the
door hook for some of my bags.
I’m so glad this project is over
and I can enjoy some of the things I found while I was cleaning, I will share
my Scrap Room with you in a later post. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
