Scrap rooms, spaces... best tips for organizing?

Thought it might be fun to chat scrap spaces while we're all in a scrappin' frame of mind.

Use this thread to share pictures, favorite links, ideas etc for all things scrapping space related.  I am in the mood to purge through supplies and reorganize some parts of my room so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Scrap rooms, spaces... best tips for organizing?

Hmmm....you are much more organized than I am, Rachel - I think you should be the one with the tips - lol.

Here is one that I have used the most - I organized all of my embellishments by color and now I can find things much easier. The tiny ones are organized by color in a little drawer stack - makes it easy when you are looking for the perfect little touch.

That's insane!!  I just sent the link to my hubby and asked him if he could put something together like that for me. smile

I don't have too many organizing tips.  My scrap "room" (and I use that term loosely) is so small that I don't have much space to organize anything.  Everything is sort of crammed into drawers, shelves, bins, etc.

Re: Scrap rooms, spaces... best tips for organizing?

Hey guys, all I can say is IKEA.  They are fantastic for storage and relatively cost effective too.
Just love them. big_smile  big_smile

Ohhhh I've seen that one!!!! It's so so kewl!

I'm lucky enough to have my own space (which is in serious need of a clean up, lol) - and just last week we had a guy come over to do a quote for some drawers/desks etc....still waiting on a price.....!

I actually think my scrapping style is reflected in my room, completely unorganized, mis-matched, with Sassafras EVERYWHERE!!!

My best scrapping storage is definitely the metal boxes I got from ikea, they're the perfect size for Thickers - so yep, go IKEA  lol  lol

Re: Scrap rooms, spaces... best tips for organizing?

Here is my space:

http://mommomandpoppop.blogspot.com/200 … apace.html

I used Lori Gentile's wonderful way of organizing by color (mine isn't as well organized as her's!!).  I have three Expedit units which I love, a desk from Target, and some other units that I realize I didn't post pictures of on my blog (but they are on Facebook).   My room is currently a huge mess but after the weekend crop, I think I'll spend next weekend getting this place back in shape!

And I've seen that little scrap house before and love it!!

Re: Scrap rooms, spaces... best tips for organizing?

Nice spaces, girls!  And Chris, I love all the green!  I've been wanting to organize by color... so far I've gotten my buttons and ribbons organized by colors.  I'll try and take a few pix soon.  I started cleaning the room 2 nights ago.

Re: Scrap rooms, spaces... best tips for organizing?

Hi ladies!

I'm just jumping in to play. Can't wait to get to the challenges. I don't have enough time to play on the mb's much, but I try to get into a crop every now and then online.

Scrap spaces are my favorite topic.
For years all I had was a little scrap armoire. Actually it was pretty great. I got so much work done in that baby. But I desperately wished for a room of my own and finally it came to be. My big recommendation, Freecycle and Goodwill. I got so many items from both sources for my room, that is was so much easier expense wise.

In each pic I posted info on the organization. Just click on the picture to get to the album, but here is the slide show link.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/scrapn_ang … 0098/show/

Thanks for bringing up the topic and sharing your spaces. I love to get inspiration from others.

Angelina

Hey Angelina - it's great to see some "old" faces here this weekend.  Love all the pink and black in your room.  It's so "YOU"!!!
