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.”

Studio Shelves

Bookshelves can serve so many purposes that range from function to beauty. Where else are you going to be able to store all the copies of your favorite magazines? When it comes to choosing shelves for your home, office, or studio space you are likely going to want something that is a little of both.  You don’t have to sacrifice one to have the other.  These ideas are some perfect examples:

  • Traditional Dark Wood Shelving
  • Antique Green Shelving
  • Industrial Wall Mount Shelving
  • Ladder Style Shelving
