Craft Room Tour 2026
It has been a while since I’ve done a tour. So here is a Craft Room Tour 2026. So much has changed over the years in my craft room. It is okay to evolve as a creative person. To change how your space functions for your needs!
The video shows how my room has been updated and how I store most of what I use when creating. Remember, I’ve been collecting items for a very long time. So please don’t feel you have to go out and buy a lot of stuff. In fact, do your best to use what you have, to make do, so that you don’t end up with an overwhelming stash! A craft room can easily get out of control.
Video will premier live on Youtube, Monday October 26th 2026 at 3:45 pm central standard time.
Recently I’ve been watching several decluttering videos. Sharing where to start and to let go of things. For years I kept things because I felt that it was important to keep. The items may have been given to me, or I paid a lot of money for the items. Letting go of the idea that once it is in my home that I have to keep it was so helpful. LET IT GO!
So I started by clearing out stuff that I knew I wasn’t going to use. I made a pile in my living room of items I would donate. And as I worked I made a pile of stuff I wanted to keep. Knowing what I was going to keep helped me plan how I would store the stuff.
Thankfully my husband Henry was very gracious about the mess. Because it has to get worse before it can get better!
For so long I didn’t have the means to get beautiful functionable storage. I’m thankful for all that I did have. Last year I made a huge push to clean up how stuff was stored. I wanted my space to look cleaner and be cleaner!
This project started with the walk in closet. Knowing that I must tackle that space first so that I would have storage space for what I wanted to keep.
It was full. This photo was taken after I had already removed a few items!
Once the space was empty I then started working on what shelves I would use to store what I would keep. I didn’t buy anything new. Thankfully yet again, I had shelves that I could use in this space. It just took some elbow grease to get it all put together!
The amount of random bins I’ve purchased over the years was crazy! In the photo you’ll see a variety of bins and boxes I’ve used. The red and white boxes where from my mother in law. Every month they sent out at least 500 letters. She saved those boxes so I could use them in my craft room.
Look at storage differently. You may be a 100% visual person where you have to see it in order to use the stuff. Or you may be someone that can put items in labeled bins and boxes. I have a mix of both. Some that I have to see and some that are in bins with labels. Heck, even after I took this video I have already made a few changes because of how I work. It is okay to change your mind and change your space.
Of course there are many things in my craft space that I’ve not let go of yet, but I feel I’ve made a huge step in the right direction!
There was a lot of work that went into this Craft Room Tour 2026 makeover! I’m so glad that I took the time to clean up my space and get it to look the way I’ve always wanted! There are still a few things I want to change, but for now the space is very functionable! I even have a whole desk top that is clear for any project I want to work on in the future!
My advice to you if you are looking at piles of stuff that you need to organize: Start small. I started one box at a time. Get a box that some stuff will fit into. Pick out things that you love and set them in the box with a label. Then look at what is left. If there are items you don’t use but you just can’t bring yourself to let them go, put them in a box and label the box. Add the date on the box so you know how long it has been stored when you find this box later. I have an extra room in my house so several boxes went into that room until I was ready to open them up and let things go!
For years I held onto things that I should have let go, but just couldn’t seem to do so. Here in my area there is a craft thrift store called Trove. The store will take craft supply donations. That is where I took most of the things that came out of my room. I also contacted a few of my local friends, I sent photos and asked, would you like these? All of them said yes. LOL. But I told them that they too need to declutter, don’t keep everything!
Well I hope that seeing my space inspires you to clear out what you won’t use. Enjoy what you have, if the things don’t bring you joy, then let them go! Now it’s time for me to enjoy my space!
Check out my Amazon Store for some of the storage items I used.
