Fabulous Feature: Paint Shelf

Storage can be a huge issue in your workspace.  Finding a place to keep pens and paper can sometimes be challenging.  Imagine if you had to find a place to put hundreds of things.  Many of you with studios or craft rooms face this challenge everyday.  This is why I thought this week’s feature from Mary is perfect.

I love Mary’s solution to paint storage.  A custom piece of furniture is sometimes the best option to stay organized.  Here is what Mary has to say about why she loves her paint shelf:

“My husband made it for me according to my measurements. It holds about 1000 bottles of acrylics! I have my mason jars on top of it filled with buttons. All of my paints are arranged in color families and alphabetically. Delta Ceramcoats are on the top shelves and DecoArt Americanas are on the bottom shelves. Each bottle is labeled and within easy reach of my paint tables. I wouldn’t want to be without it!”

Fabulous Feature: Wall Unit

Storage is necessary is any workspace, studio, office, or home.  But storage doesn’t have to be all function.  It can serve as a centerpiece to a room.  That is why I love this week’s feature from Katie.

This wall unit not only serves as storage but also as a lovely focal point for the room.  I think it would fit nicely in most spaces and you could incorporate your own style by the decor you add to the shelves.  But, enough about what I would do.  Why does Katie love her shelving system so much?

“This is my favorite item from my studio. It is my 5 shelf Expedit wall unit from Ikea. I purchased this almost 10 years ago and it has lasted several studio moves and redecorations. The 2-drawer units  are removable if you want them in or not. Totally customizable for anyone’s organizational needs!

Everything I need to run my business is housed in this unit. Space saving and at a reasonable price.”

Fabulous Feature: Paint Cubby

This week we are featuring another item that would work perfectly in your home, office, workspace, or studio.  The best part?  It is from you, one of our loyal readers.  It means so much more to learn from you why YOU love what is in your space.  I am constantly inspired by what is shared with us.  Today’s paint cubby from Lianne of Swirly Designs is no exception.

I love how functional the cubby is.  And how the items in the cubby are the actual focal point.  The paint is so organized and inviting.  I am sure it leads to hours of creativity.

I’ve already explained why I like this organized cubby but, let’s find out why this is Lianne’s favorite studio item:

“Having our studio on the main floor of our house was a decision that we both agreed was the best option, but it was very important to us that the studio be well organized and blended in with the rest of the house.  

That’s why one of our favorite storage pieces is this cubby organizer wall shelf. We are able to store all our paints, by color, that we use for our handmade ornaments.  It makes for easy access to all the paints plus being able to see the bright colors of paint from our work table makes us smile. We’ll also create mini displays and vignettes for different holidays in the cubes for inspiration.”
