Hi all! I don't know about you, but my scrap room leaves a lot to be desired. I'd love to say that I work in a well organized and perfectly accessorized space - but really, it's a good day if I know where my tape runner is. ;) Someday, I'll have a fabulous work space, but in the meantime, I'm content to drool over ideas pinned onto the Studio Calico storage and organization Pinterest board by our design team.

I'd love to walk into my room and sit at a desk that looks like this one. My favorite part is how the artwork is mixed in among the storage elements.

Cutest. Button storage. EVER. The downside? I don't think I'd ever want to use another button again, since they look so perfect in this vintage gumball machine!

This would be a great way to store memorabilia & photos that you plan to scrap. I find I'm more apt to use things like that if I can see them!

These vintage bins and shelves could handle the rest of the storage in my dream room. Can you imagine how many Studio Calico kits you could fit in this set up?
What are your storage challenges? What kind of organization ideas would you like to see on our Pinterest boards? We'd love to hear!

I see so many cute ideas on the internet, but usually things are out on shelves--in the open. How in the world do scrappers keep dust from piling up on their goodies? I have to leave things in drawers, see through boxes, etc. because dust is totally attracted to my scrapping materials! So my room looks like a warehouse, not a designer's room :-\

I store my punches on towel bars! I cute a 2' X 3' board, and mounted 4 2 foot towel bars on it. (I had also put some fabric on the board to look nice, or you could paint it beforehand) The punch levers rest open on the towel bar and lean against the board. I mounted the board on the wall above my craft table. Each 2 foot bar holds 8 of my EK success or Stampin' up punches.

Any good ideas on how to store paper so you can actually see what you have?

I agree with Barb, dust is a big thing. I have to keep everything in closed containers, otherwise it is dusty. Closed bins/containers don't make for an attractive room.

I would like ideas for those of us that don't have the space for a scrap room of our own. My supplies live in a closet, a few baskets that sit on top of bookshelves, and a desk in my dining area. The problem that I have is that, because everything has to be hidden away, I tend to forget what I have. All of the lovely ideas above are a fantasy to me. How about some storage ideas for the rest of us?

Thank God I have a scrap room, and I love it, but sometimes I'm tired of the wall's color.

This is helpful for crafters who sell their work online or in a shop. I think organizing little stuff like these is a bit hard, since they cannot be seen easily or differentiated with only one look. An organized cabinet or shelf will definitely do the job! Don't forget to label them.
