Organizing a Craft Closet

Posted on January 1, 2016 by Roeshel

Happy New Year, DIY Friends! Kicking off 2016 with a DIY organization challenge!

Every January, I find myself wanting to declutter and get organized around the house. I do have a craft room upstairs that acts more as a storage room because I find that I prefer crafting on the dining room table. I’m more productive when I’m working where things are going on which inspired creating a craft closet in the guest room right off the dining room.

closet before…

I emptied the closet full of forgotten and unworn coats and added some shelves.

I still want to paint but my favorite part was shopping Michaels newly launched line of storage and organization products called Cre8ted Spaces available in stores now. Tons of different colors, bins and office supplies – with more than 300 new items in 4 coordinating colors. You have to check it out!

As a part of the Michaels’ Makers January DIY Organizational Challenge, an unused closet makes crafting on our main floor in the dining room with my most used craft supplies for essential oil business and gifts so much easier, making working more enjoyable!

I LOVE the gorgeous color and that there are so many fun different boxes, drawers, baskets and pencil cups to hold and organize my supplies.

Where do you craft? In a designated craft space? The dining room or kitchen table? The living room floor?

Colorblock Art

Posted on July 8, 2015 by Roeshel

The area above the bed in the guest room was in need of a little something…

I didn’t photograph the area in my guest room/nursery reveal closely because it was bare. But not anymore…

I grabbed:

48 x 22 inch plyboard (recycled from shipping packaging but available at the hardware store too)
FrogTape® MultiSurface
paint

Since my board was stored in the basement, I cleaned away the dust.

Then measured and marked the center of my board.

Next I applied FrogTape to create a sunburst design, starting from the center marking. I just placed my pieces randomly.

Using a gift card, I burnished the edges of the tape to get clean crisp lines.

Then painted each area, applying paint in the direction of the wood grain with a foam brush.

While paint was still wet, I carefully removed the Frogtape then let my painting dry.

Add picture hanging hardware or use velcro hangers to display the masterpiece! It fills the space nicely and adds pops of color. Fun! A great way to add a big statement for little cost.

{notice the photobomber? lol!}

I’m not very “artistic” when it comes to painting but a geometric pattern is something anyone can do. Coordinate colors with your existing decor, make a big statement without breaking the bank.
