Project Of The Day | Clean Up This Office

I need to do the same thing in my studio!!!! I have too much stuff and need to winnow but it is so hard for me to let go of things that I am pretty sure I am not going to use. So stuff is everywhere because I have no shelving left to tidy it up. Glad to hear that I am not the only one with a mess- or "room of doom" as my husband calls it. He can't stand to even walk in so fearful of knocking some pile over! Good luck with your task! Like most things it is just the getting started that is important.

Ahh...creative genius never looked so good! For as organized as i am in "real life" my scrap space looks like it threw up on itself and i've come to embrace the mess. Good luck on creating order.

Sadly, I'm not going on the trip to Italy... I'm saving my pennies for next time. Those kits sure do look pretty amazing! Any chance you may have made a few too many? Any chance you'll be selling additional kits or showing us all the products that you've amazingly gathered together so we can pretend to be the crafty wonder that you are!?!

That's what my room looks like ALL THE TIME!

Thank you for these photos! You make me feel better about my own piles. Look honey! Even famous bloggers and creators have messy rooms! It's okay! *grin*

Ah, wish I'd taken a "Before" photo of my pastel studio before I tackled it last week... So much better now, but it would have been good to have a shot of the mess to prove how much work went into making it look tidy! Need to make mental notes about things like this. You've made a lot of people happy with your "before" pics! Good luck finding spots to store everything (my #1 problem...)

Thanks so much for sharing. I had a vision that your space was always perfectly ready for you to fulfill any inspiration that struck. I feel better about my piles now, lol.

You'll have to post us photo when its all 'cleaned up'! I knew I should've planned the Italy trip with you! :)

ooohhh.... I spy with my little eye - a fun looking kit. Wish I could be there in Italy. Maybe a kit or two can find they're way home and into my mailbox. wink wink hee hee.

Me too! Although I think mine may look worse. I have piles of magazines that I can't seem to throw out, memorabilia I'm not sure what to do with, and treasures I can't find a home for. My scrapbooking room is also where I store my fabric, and have my bookshelves with actual books on them (not just crafting books). I find myself avoiding the room a lot.

Glad to know.......I am not alone. :)

I noticed your vinyl stamps, what is that you keep them on to organize/store them? That is the one thing I can't seem to find a good home for.

i just took a pic of my craft table for my pic of the day.its a real mess !!

The creative person is rarely tidy....you make me feel so much better...yay! I am normal (and a bit messy!)

oh my...rolf...lmao ;} I'm speechless...all's I can do is laugh. I'm the opposite...I do have piles of work in process...but I assign a basket for each pile/project and it get's put back into the basket as I'm working. I'm weird...I know...but I get too distracted when things are not in their place so I can find them...guess I know where my son's ADD/COPD came from...oh my!

Thank you SO MUCH for posting these pics, Ali, and keeping it real! So many crafters only post their room in immaculate condition. It's so nice and reassuring to see a place that's actually USED and created in (and that looks like mine does most of the time)!

I know this sounds terrible- but its nice to see that you make a mess and have a room that looks like robbers have been in like that too !!! Gives me inspiration to clean mine up!! Good luck...

Love the 'piles on the floor.' Thank goodness for gravity!

Ok, this totally made my day. Thank you for being as messy as anyone else. Now I'm off to clean up my scrap studio.

so many possibilities to create in those piles

Piles just grow, and grow, and grow. Best wishes for chopping a few of those piles down.

If I do pick up my work space I find that the creative vibe leaves the room and I don't have any ideas
