my work space | time to get organized

This is the view from my desk.

Not a pretty site. The only thing I like at the moment is the first shelf. That’s where the project life binder sits, out in the open. Everything else needs to be revamped and reorganized. And it’s badly in need of some style.  Since this is the bookshelf that I look at all day long, I want it to be both functional and pretty to look at.  That’s not asking for too much right?  It’s just more than I’m capable of doing. Anyone interested in coming over to help me?

I’ve saved a few images on pinterest so far and can sure use your help with filling up the board with more inspiration. Please send me links to bookshelves that you love!

This is what the bottom half of the bookshelf looks like.  Thankfully I can close the door and forget about the mess. I was actually ok with this less than organized state, probably because I wasn’t paper crafting much. But now that I’m getting back into it the mess is starting to drive me crazy.

This little drawer is where I keep all the crafting supplies I use for project life (minus the paper and paper cutter). Whenever I’m working on project life pages I just take this drawer to my desk and everything I need is there – adhesive, journaling cards, tags, rubber stamp and the red ink pad. I like this set up but I think it might be time to move to a larger pull out drawer just so I don’t have rummage around because the supplies are stacked on top of each other.

Going to work on this space over the next several weeks.  I’m curious, what does your crafting space look like?

LOL – i just showed this to my dad, who is revamping my closet/bookshelf space soon, as inspiration for how I want mine to look – simple, streamlined and clean! One person’s mess is another person’s… bookshelf? haha. If you were to see mine… you would NOT be complaining. 😉

M’kay… this is actually VERY neat and tidy! LOL. This puts what I call “organized” to shame… 🙂

Those covered cardboard boxes are ADORABLE! Thanks for the link!

Hi Liz,
Your shelf seems to be very organized to me 😀 But I understand that it’s pretty annoying if you don’t find anything or it’s just not handy.
I don’t have craft space yet, but hopefully I will soon. Here is the craft room ideas on Pinterest. I hope you find something useful.

I love your shelf life board! My little craft space is very simple. It’s still a work in progress and needs more style, but here are a few pics. I got a lot of my inspiration from Pinterest too!! I’m excited to see your ‘after’
