Craft Room Tour

By Teresa Cruz aka Andor Violeta

“Hi everyone!

Today i finnally am sharing a second Craft Room Tour specially for Graphic 45. It’s a quick tour, where i share how i organize my favorite stuff on my craft room. I did recently buy some new furniture, so i can have everything on hand and can keep things more organized. Maybe i can share a photo of my craft room before.

Before:

After:

If you compare you can see the differences right away:

Before, in my craft room i had two tall dressers on the back of my table, that was glass and now it’s wood. The table with the sewing machine stays the same, my chair was not so comfortable so i changed to a bigger and black one. I also didn’t had the table with my computer on the left, and my manual sizzix machine was on the back, on top of the dressers, but now i have the sizzix switch and i put it on the table to have it on hand because i use it many times.

Now after i change my space i have lower cabinets that are much more easy to organize so i can put the things divided on the many many drawers i have now.

I prepared a quick video tour that you can watch, but i will show you some photos all around my Craft Room so you can already have an idea how the space is and looks like.

I have also a big kallax 5*5 cubes unit where i can store many materials and i can see everything. I also put one smaller 4*2 unit kallax on top where i can have my projects may be exposed so i can see and store them better.

I have my recent graphic 45 collections very close to me and on hand with all the embellishments close too, on the old drawer that you can see on the photo above.

Here you can see how i store my most used dies and all the Graphic 45 staples (albums, tags and cards).

I did also prepared a large base for my computer mouse with the Graphic 45 papers that you can see on the photo above. My sewing machine is on the back of my main table also ready to use mostly to sew papers!!

I also have a closed cabinet on the photo above on the left where i put all my inks and mixed media stuff. In the middle photo you can see those cabinets with white doors on top.

I also have on top of my sewing machine some space to store sequins and beads with a thread.

Here you can see my Craft Room Tour:

Thanks for stopping by, I wish you a very artistic and lovely day…

Hugs..”
