Making Space

I am such a hoarder  of books and vintage things, when it come to art materials I am no different.  am constantly trying to find new storage solutions. Joe and I are hopefully moving soon but I don't want to jinx anything so I will not talk about it further. In either case new studio or re-vamped studio new storage solutions will need to be found. Me being me I don't want to go for your basic Ikea blandness, this is a space where I need to be creative so I want to have a studio that reflects my creativity.

Here are some storage ideas that I found inspiring;

This is a product from Heals, it is in fact CD storage but I would love to fill the gaps with ball of colourful wool or threads.

I love the messy yet organised desk pictured above, it is very me. My favourites are the wire baskets and the ribbons on a roll.

I love the glued lids keeping the button jar in place. I have lots of these jars and this would be a great way of utilising every available part of a shelf.

Finding all of this in a wardrobe would be almost as exciting as finding Narnia for me!

Why leave all of your vintage finds in the kitchen this idea would work just as well in a craft room.

Yes I know that last image may not have been as unusual as the others but practicality also has to play an important roll in organising your space and after all it is slimline and unobtrusive. I hope that you find some of these pics an inspiration  for your space and I will keep you posted on mine as and when developments occur.
