WORKROOM ORGANIZATION

The workroom I have in this apartment is definitely the biggest space I've ever had. Which is awesome, but I wanted it to be super organized to make the most of it. I've really had fun finding different ways to organize supplies without having to buy any new furniture or big items. Even after living here for about four months I'm still not done putting finishing touches on this room (or any room). Here's a little peak at how I've been organizing around the room. 
On the floating shelves we installed, I have these cups and jars lined up for brushes, exacto knives, pencils, and, of course, honey sticks. I love using these two cups for storage because I love looking at them so much but don't want to use them everyday as...cups. It's a nice, clean way to organize these things where I can easily grab them.
This Samsonite train case is probably the craft storage I've been using the longest. It's perfect for holding things I use often but don't want to look at all the time - glitter, glues, staples, tacks. The space under the tray is perfect for holding craft paints.
This is absolutely my favorite method of storage in my workroom. The pegboard is really inexpensive, as well as the hooks. But it adds so much organization for my trims, ribbons, and washi tapes while still looking light and open.
I bought these little spice jars from World Market when we lived in Charleston. They're perfect for holding my colored buttons where I can see them. I have way more black and white buttons than colored ones, so I store those in the bead boxes underneath. I also love that old cigar box on the right - it's where I keep bow tie clips.
This DIY is one of my favorite that I've done because I use these all the time. And it's nice to use them for different things as I need to and relabel them.
To sort all my vintage zippers I use these old wire desk trays. They're especially nice because they stack  on top of each other to go onto a shelf.

Hopefully I'll be back soon sharing pictures of the whole room, as well as the others in our apartment. It's slow, but it's all coming along.

  12. I like how you use the pegboard and hooks to organize. The vintage magazine cans are so nice! I like it a lot. If it were me I wouldn't be ever able to get that tidy :)
