I have short items in tall plastic boxes. Like, I have paper in about 4 or 5 different places/boxes. I do several different crafts and I tend to go from one activity to another. So I'm wondering if there are any hacks some of you use for organization. I already have some pretty good stuff: a beautiful wooden desk with three drawers and room for shelves, an Ikea EXPEDIT, and a piece of countertop that's pretty large. That said, I'm not sure I'd actually buy one. I never paid much attention to the Scrapbox/Dreambox before, but now I'm kinda getting obsessed! I just moved into a new home and am setting up my craft room. Remember such things as how far out a drawer or a door will open and be sure to leave ample room for that as well as reaching and getting out what inside. I think you may have eluded to it, but when decided how things will fit in a room, the footprint is not the only thing to keep in mind. I am not fond of the idea of my big vac being full of glitter or brads etc. I like smooth surface floors for cleaning. Will you need to have heavy duty power bars and where will they go? If you want to work on different things at the same time.maybe then you want to keep a box or something you can put the active project in.put it over in the card section, pull out the action box for your quilting and spread out on the table.if that makes sense? As it is, you may HAVE to have dedicated clear spaces along the wall for storage of a sewing machine, die cutting machine, etc.Īlso look at your sockets in the wall and plan how you will have electric to both run things and have spot lighting if you have overhead or all your lighting if you dont. Giving each space it's own table would take up a lot of room. This way no matter which one I am doing I have the table in the middle. Then I would have Craft A on this wall, Craft B on that wall, etc. Given that you mention you want to do multi crafts.I would likely go with a main table in the middle. You can fit a small store worth in a room, but if you feel like it is a cave in the bad sense and you are not happy in it.you wont work in it. I would go with white or pale woods unless my room is pretty darn big. (ie the room is 8 feet wide so after the units on the wall.) I might push around chairs to the boundaries to get an even better feel for the clearance. Three feet might sound like enough room for your middle.till you are in it. Doing it on graph paper is ok for a start.but not the same to me as actually what it will be in real life. Just because you can fit stuff in a room.you can suddenly feel very closed in because there is not a lot of room in the middle. Cut pieces to the dims of the furniture you want to put in-or how deep wall shelves would be and lay them on the floor. When doing a whole room.i always suggest people get a roll of brown paper. Some people dont want to see anything and some people want to see it all. You have to be honest with yourself about what works for YOU-not what looks pretty or works for other people cuz they are not there to use it right? Maybe drawers are good or maybe open uprights are good. LOL I know-she wanted to show one can do it alone. ** Did I not see a man with the toddler sitting off to the side in the first vid where she is assembling the shelves? I believe in using all the assets around.including a second pair of hands. You will lose space because you have to leave clearance for the box to open. Unless you need the room to multi-task for you. If you are going to have a dedicated room.I personally would probably not do it. I see it as a choice when you don't have a lot of room. Sounds like you might have already gotten the box so I am just saying.While I see the coolness of a scrapbox (and I am very impressed with how handy/creative she is**.I personally am looking at the smaller hand drill since I am a tool freak).
