Just look what good condition those supplies are in, even the older stock! This is so important for artists to see, because not only is a clean, organized space a nicer place to work, it also avoids waste and spoilage!

I love this video for two reasons: 1) This is continuing proof that most of us artists don't have uncluttered, designer studios like you see in magazines and Pinterest photos. The vast majority of us utilize found assortments of furniture, shelving, containers, etc to store and keep our supplies and we typically Tetris it all together to maximize space as much as possible. Functionality and practicality takes priority over aesthetics. 2) You narrate what is basically the artist's stream of consciousness when redoing/reorganizing/purging an art studio and it makes me so happy that I'm not the only one who has these same conversations with myself when I'm going through all of my stuff. I think your work spaces turned out amazing!

About your acrylic paint storage dilemma: all of us fall into the trap of thinking it’s always best to store all like-things together but it seems like you actually answered this for yourself since you use them now where they are in part because they are not stored far away with their brethren. Like you, I used to think I needed to store all my stamps in the same place but some are planner stamps so they would never be used if they aren’t with my planner supplies. Hope this helps! I think your storage room needs some piece of inspirational happiness to personalize it for you. Maybe a painting on a storage cabinet? Something to make you feel happy about going in there. The makeup table could be a treasured hand-me-down for one of your daughters. Those are back in style now. Enjoy your space. You inspire us so much & are very a very talented artist and art teacher. Your STUDIO is an awesome resource & you are a gifted lady! Enjoy.

You think that's a room of hoard? It's beautifully organized and looks great to me. I have metal racks in my craft room, but they are wonderful for the purpose. Meant for garages or workshops, they aren't furniture, they are galvanised steel, but look shiny and clean in my craft room. They are deep enough for 12 x 12 papers, about 30" wide, (so two stacks of pads with space between) and five foot tall, with five shelves if you use the top (which of course I do) and they are strong! Each shelf holds 175 kg or 385 pounds and believe me, some of mine are tested with paper and card! They hold a vast amount, they cost £35 each now, which I think is a snip, and I recommend them to anyone who has a suitable space and wants to keep their things compact, clean, tidy and accessible. Of course you need somewhere you don't mind a metal rack, but they can be made to look pretty-ish. I love the miscellany of super cupboards and shelves you've acquired, but in the absence of those, these racks are superb, and why should the men have all the best storage gear? Thank you for your good advice.

What a great walk through. I do love the pink cubby. What brand of cube storage do you use? I purchased a couple from Michaels (I think) and the thin material is poor quality. Not very strong between the spaces. Anyways o love your space.

The paper/ribbon storage cubes are crop in style and I've had them about 15 years I think. They're no longer in business sadly. The 9 cube units are better homes and garden I think. They are very standard. I've got them at Wal-Mart, home depot and target.

I love the rolling stamps, but I gave up most of my big rolls and some regulars because hands weren't cooperating. I was inspired to organize my peg stamps after seeing the crate your hubby built! Do you have the 3 penguins Rollagraph? Made the cutest Christmas cards, but my sister wouldn't let me keep it even when she stopped stamping. I love seeing your stash!!

Oh my goodness Lindsey. I was feeling depressed and overwhemed with all the stuff i have especially the empty tins and boxes, not to mention the unsteady yarn hill. Seeing your hoard puts mine to shame, but, i do wish mine was more organized , i am completely out of room. I apologize for asking you to review that gouache. You must have seen that while you were trying so hard to get rid of stuff.... Anyway the organization and the happy mural is looking really nice..... a really good job.

I redesigned and and built our kitchen back in 2019 and now that I'm thinking about creating an art space I'm reusing some of the same ideas because they can work for both spaces. In the kitchen I separated different functions into different zones and then put the items I needed to use into the zone that I'd use them in. So depending on what was used in a particular zone, they either got drawer or cupboard storage. I must say that I prefer drawers over cupboards, especially the low cupboards that you always seem to end up down on your hands and knees exploring the back of lol. In the drawers, the cutlery or utensil trays or the partitions you get to sort out your socks, come in really handy for sorting out paint tubes or other bits like washi tapes. I've learned to keep the water based activities away from the computer or anything electrical and if I am doing a painting from a reference photo I keep the tablet or monitor up on a stand above the bench in case my paint water tries to escape again 😂 My daughter likes to sew so I'm planning out a separate area for her to work in and we've found some plastic drawers that she can store her fabric in where she can see it. I'm okay with my supplies tucked away out of sight but she needs to be able to see hers to help her create so our different work styles call for different storage solutions too. It's turning out to be quite a fun project.

Great work! Bravo! I have an idea, if it’s not too obsessive, for your rolly stamps. You could number or letter each stamp on the back of the frame next to the nail. Then make a masterboard in more or less the same size with each pattern. Hang it above the framed stamps.
