  • After months of purging in preparation for this move, I finally have everything put away and organized! It's quite compact, but I love my new space!

    Wow, you have been able to organize everything so well that you would not think you have all of collections and bits and bobs available and easy reach. Great job! I love it! You gave some great ideas for my organization. Best wishes!

    Thank you for sharing this. I had my own craft room for years (empty nester). Five years ago, I took custody of 4 of my grandchildren. Two of the boys took over the guest room and I made a twin bed at the foot of my bed for the youngest. My craft room was turned back into a bedroom for my granddaughter. So…major downsizing in a very short period of time. All scrapbook supplies moved to my bedroom where it still remains. The problem is my bedroom also becomes the dumping ground for everything that doesn’t have a home. Seeing what you have done with your space has inspired me to rethink my space.i NEED to move out the many albums that have made their way into my room. That will free up space to put scrapbook supplies. Once again, thank you for the inspiration. Let the transition begin!

    • @lauraalbertscrafts
      @lauraalbertscrafts  Před měsícem +4

      I’m so glad it was helpful, Lynne! It’s wonderful that you were able to take in your grandkids, so many children out there become estranged from family when a parent loses custody or cannot provide for them. That connection is so important! A drastic change is such a hard adjustment, but this was 100% worth it. Not only because of the move, I have less time for scrapping and it makes sense to devote less space to it as well. This was incredibly cathartic too.

  • @jenniferduarte-hernandez775

    Your small space inspires me to purge my supplies to see how little I can work with. I have a smallish craft room, but it’s starting to getting a little overwhelming.

    • @lauraalbertscrafts
      @lauraalbertscrafts  Před měsícem

      It adds up so quickly! Especially since I worked for several design teams over the last few years. Having a curated stash makes everything I reach for something I want to use, instead of things I think I should use.

    What a great space and wonderful ideas Laura!! Thanks so much. I will save this one for sure as within the next couple of years, I will be downsizing and moving (as I hit the 70 mark LOL) and this is just a perfect set up xo

    • @lauraalbertscrafts
      @lauraalbertscrafts  Před měsícem

      Thank you, Moira! I think so too! Downsizing was tough, but 100% worth it. I love my new space, being accessible and right in the middle of the kids' activities is much better for all of us.

    Looks great! My space is very similar. I have a desk, a 4x4 expedit, one wide alex drawer unit, and one cart. The only difference is that instead of another drawer unit, I have a tower that holds irises bins. I keep my albums elsewhere, too.

    • @lauraalbertscrafts
      @lauraalbertscrafts  Před měsícem

      That is very similar! Now that I've moved my VB supplies to the bit Alex drawers, I'm tempted to repurpose the small drawer unit elsewhere. It's nearly empty.

    I really enjoyed watching your tour of your new room! I'm going to have to go back and watch your purging vids because I, too, am moving to a smaller space when I move into our farmhouse! Love how you stored everything and made use of the space so nicely. I also really like your ring light above- how is the lighting from it and does it hold your phone okay without falling down?

    • @lauraalbertscrafts
      @lauraalbertscrafts  Před měsícem

      Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful, this process was overwhelming at first, but breaking it into steps makes a big difference! Yes, I do really like this ring light, but it does occasionally add glare to my photos. I’m not sure that’s entirely avoidable though.
