Before (sorry it doesn't show the whole thing):
After (it just kind of works better):
I was able to do all of this because of this shelf that I found empty in my parent's house. I like having a shelf just for crafty supplies. It's still got a bit to go, but the little green and blue baskets from Dollar Tree really helped.
Before (And this picture was an improvement from what it used to be, I wish I had taken pictures from the beginning.):
After (Still working on some things, which are laid out across the bed, but much better anyway):
Most of the craft supplies were previously in a plastic drawer thing, which you can see empty in the middle of the room in the before picture. I emptied it and it now resides in my closet, holding shoes that I am less likely to use based on the weather.
I had been trying to use a couple of fabric baskets to help organize in the office, but I found a better use in my closet. There were previously little bags scattered across the top of my closet. Now they are all in one basket. The other holds all of my wintery scarves and hats. Now I have lots of extra space in there.
I found this wooden box at a thrift store the other day. My husbands dresser used to be piled high with whatever happened to be in his pockets at the end of the day. I set this box up to be an extra drawer, so at least his mess is contained. I also gave him a jar for his pens.
I also got the husband to help me go through our bucket of wires and electronics. We made a box to donate old, unnecessary wires. I organized similar wires and ones that are for the same electronics into labeled ziploc bags. We also started to go through a box of random tools and other unknown objects, but the husband got burnt out and we had to go to the grocery store, so we didn't quite finish.
I love progress in organization! It makes me happy. :)
