Antique, Vintage & Repurposed item craft room: An organization ideas tour
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 02. 2023
- This video/ craft room utilizes a lot of repurposed and antique items, but the layout and concepts shown will work for any style preferences. I share my space, some of the materials used to build this space as well as thoughts about what is working, what’s not and some craft tips. Thank you so very much for the well wishes and support during my absence and recovery. I hope this encourages or inspires you that you can create a crafting area that works well for you. Thank you for watching and happy creating.
No music, you talking the whole time, and calm filming of all your beautiful things. What a treat, thank you so much! 🙂
Thank you, Eva. I've tried other "styles" of teaching, but what you stated is just me 😊
I'm so thrilled to see a craft room that isn't all prefabricated white furniture! My room has my grandmother's antique table and my dad's huge antique desk in it. I love your space! Hope you get healed up soon!
Thank you and how very cool to be able to use something of your grandmother’s in your craft space ❤
Yes, it is so refreshing to see something different. I've been looking all over to find someone with a vintage rustic looking craft room. She did a great job!
I too have been wondering where are the craft/art rooms with vintage furniture. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Just came across your channel and the first video I watched was your craft room…LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! Bing watching your videos now, appreciate how detailed you are! New subscriber!
Oh my goodness me! A REAL craftroom! This is my idea of heaven. All those old wooden drawers with their multitude of plain and fancy handles, and the soft black cupboards and shelves and cubby holes, or whatever they are called, where they live. I just love how everything is built to fit things. You are an absolute marvel! And can you come live with me for a year while you make mine?
I think my craft room is going to have to be built to fit it. As I'm in a very old house ranging from nearly 400 years old to Victorian, and my craft room is in the oldest end of the house... Or will be when it's done. At the moment it's empty apart from a wallpaper table and the steamer I've been using to remove paper and paint from the walls. I do have SOME old things but nothing like what you have.
Your room is going to be spectacular when it's done! I've been advised to watch the cumulative weight that wooden shelves on walls and floors can have on older structures, so please be aware and careful with that. Bless you, thank you and happy creating!
Thank you Cori, I am very aware of the weight factor, since we recently discovered that an old beam had split 3/4 of the way down and as it had been encased in oak cladding we hadn't realised it was about a 1/4 as thick a beam as we had thought it was.
Which explained a lot about bending walls, huge cracks in walls, and doors that no longer fitted their frames or closed properly.
Thankfully we were able to get some experts in, so we now have a HUGE proper oak beam of the correct size, metal bars in the exterior walls, and a floor above the beam that is a) level and b) no longer bounces up and down like a trampoline! As well as doors that fit and even open and close once more! Woohooo!
I told the builders (and structural engineer) just what we intended to use the room for. So all's well.
Its refreshing to see a non white room. Beautiful.
Thank you very much. White just didn't work well for me with the old pieces in here 😊
Total craft room envy here. What a well-organized, yet gorgeous space for creating. Love everything about it.
That wall with all the sewing machine drawers is just a work of art in itself! Just beautiful 😍
Thank you Shelly ♥️
I was going to mention them as well. Where on earth did you find all these drawers and now I know why I cant find any...lol.
@@eveny119I was thinking the same thing and I'm in New Zealand!!! They cost the earth here...if you can find them.
Thank you for moving the camera slowly!!! So good, everyone else moves way too fast. Some great ideas here, thank you.
@@faodail3913 I'm in upstate NY, USA, I go to auctions and sometimes there's a whole sewing machine cabinet, never just the drawers. eBay is where you'd get them but "I haven't looked in a long time. It's a shame about the cabinets though, I'm assuming thrown out.
I've been to NZ. Was my lifelong dream. Lovely, from the tropical n. beaches to the glaciers and fiords in the south.
I LOVE your eye for vintage, and your room. I have a little craft room and a sewing room. (My kids are grown and gone.) My husband's uncle, in his 70's, died several months ago. He was single, no kids, owned the entire building, and was a hoarder. Everything is dirty from nicotine. Anyway, they are tired of cleaning up and sorting thru, and they want the stuff GONE! None of them like vintage. My husband has brought some real treasures home for me. We went again today, with a friend who wanted to look at the furniture, and I had time to really poke around. They are going to chuck it all! I found a few really special vintage things! I am excited to add them to my decor. I love your sewing cabinet drawers, that looks so cool!!
I'm sorry for your loss but think it's absolutely wonderful that you were able to save some fun and unique treasures. I'm sure they'll make wonderful additions to your home. Thank you and happy 2024!
@@CoriDahmen Yes, we will miss him. He was a wonderful sweet man. Happy New Year to you as well.
OMG Cori, whenever you are much better and have time, kindly do a slower and more in depth video of all your vintage/antique items please. Genuine vintage/antique items are THE source of my inspiration for creating :) Thanks for sharing your new space
Thank you. There are a whole lot of vintage and antique pieces in this room, and almost all of them have a function, in addition to just making me happy. I do so love inspiring old items ❤
I love your new space. I especially love seeing spaces that are not 100% Ikea as I think it allows us to see spaces that have a bit of personality. I have been working on my new craft space for the last couple of months and it is finally finished. So fun to see someone else with a vintage style craft space. Mine is more of a vintage flea market style with shabby chic overtones.
Thank you and your new space sounds delightful! The antique sewing drawers and the vintage metal pieces I had set the tone for my room, but I love hearing about your inspiration and what helped you make your room sing to and for you 💕
Cori - First let me say, I had no idea you were going through all of this until I saw your video short recently. How did I miss this? Girl, you are a wonder! How you manage to do all you do is mind boggling! I absolutely LOVE your craft space. I have many of the same vintage bins for organizing that you have; enamel trays. vintage metal drawers and old metal boxes. Your style is right up my alley! You have me looking around at my space to see how I can incorporate some of your clever storage ideas. I love your "Creating with Scraps" sign! How clever is that!? Honestly, you need to submit your space to "Where Women Create" magazine. This room should be a feature! Sorry for the long response. I hope your recovery is speedy! Take good care of yourself. ❤
Hello Paula, it's good to "see" you! The new craft room is coming along and I think it's going to work well for me. Hopefully very soon! I'd love to see your antique and vintage treasures and how you use them. Pictures? Video? I'd love to see! Take care, Paula and happy creating!
Ditto, simply amazing work space!
"Just because they make me happy “ THANKS SO MUCH FOR SO STRONG REASON. It is so complicated to feed the simple needs. Thanks!
Love that comment. Thank you ❤
I absolutely love this! I love vintage and antique items. My dishes are old Fiesta-ware, Poppy Hill “Happy Trails”, and Fransiscan Ware “Desert Rose”. My craft room is a mish mash of different shelving, pre-fab cubes, small plastic bins and glass jars, mostly. 😊
I'm a HUGE fan of people doing what works for them, and it sounds as if your space is perfect for you! Bless you and happy creating!
Thank you so much for sharing your craft space and how you created it. This so captured my heart because it's vintage and unique. Your system works with my style and need to organize while using old, vintage, and repurposed items.
My hubby surprised me with my own crafting shed. We're in the process of finishing the interior. It's going to house my 1800s great wheel, his 1908 singer treadle boot shaft sewing machine (he tore it down & rebuilt it) and all of my spinning, weaving, sewing, beading, jewelry, paper, and recycling crafts.
Again, thank you so much for your inspiration and generosity.
How wonderful! That sounds like a truly incredible, inspiration-filled crafting space. I hope the build goes well and that your new creative home inspires you endlessly ❤️
The most beautiful craft room I’ve ever seen. You did a beautiful job and have many interesting things on display. I love it!
Thank you, Carol. It really is my happy place and I'm grateful that I get to enjoy it 😊
I absolutely adore your new craft room Cori, so much vintage scrumminess. I can't believe you did all this while going through so much injury and pain, you are truly an amazing woman. So nice to see Hairy Coo and Floof 🥰
Hairy Coo and Floof miss you and Scotland, but they are staying here to keep me company 😊 Thank you Gaye, I appreciate the kind comments and I hope you gained an idea or two if your craft space is in need of some updates.
Cori, I am just finding out about your injuries! I hope you have a speedy recovery. Thank you for sharing your space with us and tips with us. I will be looking for the tips, tricks and hacks video.
@@tatteredpaperandlace2905 thank you. I hope it gives folks who are struggling some ideas and direction. Your space is lovely and functional already 😊

I love your room. Especially your lace storage. I have a vintage thread cabinet my great grandfather made in the mid 1800’s. So I love all your thread drawers. I never see them when thrifting but would love to find and pick some up. I treasure the cabinet I have and still have thread spools in it that were my grandmother’s. Love all your vintage finds.
Thank you! I've had good luck finding them at antique malls and at vintage auctions in the midwest. What a cool treasure you have in your thread storage cabinet ❤️
Cori, I’m a newbie on your channel, but within a few minutes of this video, I realized you are an exceptional individual. So sorry you have have endured so much pain. It is amazing that you are dealing with it and handling the inherent set-backs. Your craft space is so beautiful, organized and practical. Thanks 🙏 for sharing. Best wishes for a complete recovery.
Thank you Joan and welcome. Your kind message made me smile and warmed my heart ❤️
I am in awe of you! Your building skills, your collection of vintage odd and ends repurposed and how creatively you used them! Loved the tour! Sending healing thoughts and much love toward your speedy and complete recovery!
Thank you, Di. Needs must. CZcams was hugely helpful when I wanted to learn to build things and I love learning from others. Old things, often used in new or different ways, just make me happy 😊
Wow you are very gifted in woodworking! Way to go girl! I so love this. Well done ❤
Cori, since you say you read all your comments, I thought it might be fun for you to hear... before I ever knew you I was a thrift shop collecter and I am in AWE of your assortment. I have the 'starter' set of what you have. I have 10 spools, 1 sewing drawer, 1 old wooden desk 'in box' tray I converted to a wall shelf, a 1930's desk drawer turned into a shelf, 5 old wooden tool box inserts that i have as shelving cubbies., a few old cigar boxes that I (cut off the lid, trimmed them down and inserted into the bottom of the cigar box so their beautiful art shows as I attached them to the wall and use as shelf for short washi, etc, .. and a few antique tables in my craft room. One beautiful arched window to let all the AZ sunshine in and an eclectic variety of gray/sage/pine/white tables. my hubby made me a couple of them. what a joy our rooms bring to us! You have taught me so much, hubby made me a paper press and I bought a sewing machine just because you made it all so beautiful! YOU have been a life line and though i have been ill for awhile, I am doing better and YOU are going to be all better soon, too!! You are a lifeline and a joy to us all and sending you all good vibes from the universe. : ) Teresa in AZ
Oh Cori, you poor Dear!!! You have been through the ringer!!! Buy, when adversity arises, you find positivity! Your craftroom looks incredibly organized and neat!!! You asked for suggestions for lights. I have 2 desk Ott Lights and 1 floor Ott Light. They work great for me. Pricey, but they are items that were important to me. I haven't seen any at Goodwill or on tables at craft fairs where people are selling them. Thank you as always for your wonderful ideas!!! Get well soon!!!
Thank you Pat. I caved the other day (trying to be good and careful while I'm off work!) and bought an OTT light. I just need more light in that area. So, thank you for the kind wishes and the suggestion ❤
This is definitely my style of storage. Love repurposed vintage items
Thank you Melinda. I love seeing the old things take on new life ❤
@@CoriDahmen bit like myself. I’m and old thing that needs to take on new life Hahahaha. (55 is considered old apparently these days).
Oh, my goodness, dear friend, you have been in the wars! Thank you for appearing even while you’re still in the healing process. It’s great to hear from you again! 🥰 Awesome creating in your design and workmanship for your wonderful crafting space! Wow! I love your organised style for creating. It suits the way my brain wants to work. Now, if you don’t want grey and gloomy, you should be visiting us here, today, as it’s beautiful clear blue skies and heading for a scorcher of 38C. Luckily, we don’t have too many days this hot, however, there’s usually a couple through the summer. 🥵 Take care and best wishes for fast healing! 😀💞
Hello Keryn adn yes, I would very much love to come and visit you and Sue one day, to meet you and see a bit of your beautiful country. It's working on becoming fall there, right? My favorite time of year. Enjoy and bless you!
I feel your pain Cori…I fractured my knee in 5 places and split my tibia bone from top to bottom and needed surgery to put in plates and screws to repair the damage. My craft room is upstairs and I am unable to craft as well. Hope you recover quickly so you can get back to crafting! I love your new craft room.
I have not been up my stairs for months. So all my crafts have come down stairs.
Oh man. I need to remember this when I whine and complain about my minor injury. I'm so sorry you have had to endure that and I wish you the very best, fastest and most complete recovery possible.
@@CoriDahmen Just arthritis as I age.
This was so helpful, Cori and I appreciate the planning and effort you put into filming it. The older I get the stronger my desire to get rid of all the plastic drawers and bins in my space. I’m so sorry for your Series of Unfortunate Events and hope the streak is over for sure! If you’ll pm me a mailing address I have some bits and bobs I’d like to send by way of a thank-you for all the good content you produce. You’re in my YT top 5. Speedy healing!
Thank you, Marilyn and what a charming way to state my last few rough months. Definitely an Unfortunate Series of Events. I'd love a card from you so I'll send off a message right now ❤
Cori, I am so sorry about all your injuries. I’ve missed you and truly love your new craft room … it’s amazing. Love all the vintage. Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to more of your wonderful creations. ❤️
Thank you Gerrie ❤
Hi. I love your videos and your new creative space! I am so sorry that people think creativity started with CZcams... It did not! People have been creative forever, and for many years before social media! For example rolled up paper beads. When I was in about 2nd grade(over 40 years ago), a little girl at the school I was bused to had a necklace her "grandmother" made for her from magazine rolled up beads!. Bottom line, we learn, we make, we move on. You keep doing what you do! I know your intentions are good!
I hope you are now on the mend! Thank you all you do (BTW I love my glue caddy)!
Thank you Richelle and that just made me smile. I remember making those in school too 😊
I am in ❤! I also have mostly thrift and vintage items...because they bring me joy. I struggled to organize my room, based off most crafters videos. Thank you for sharing your unique space and extraordinarily original design ideas. It's a beautiful room. 😍
Thank you very much. The room works well for me, my needs and my style preferences 😊
Love this cozy room. Love the knitting needle jar display and upcycled uses!
Thank you ❤️
I LOVE all the drawers on the shelves!!! Beautiful room. Thanks so much for showing, and may you heal swiftly. 💐
Thank you Teresa! I appreciate the kind words and wishes 😊
INSPIRATIONAL CYCLES are a universal phenomenon and even apply to Science, Medicine, Mathematics, Inventions, etc. The Arts and Crafts as well as Art Neuveau eras are perfect global examples and we didn't have the internet
Fantastic analogy!
Thank you for sharing your set up with us. It’s gorgeous. ❤
You are so welcome and thank you!
OMG!!!! BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN!
I know, it's a blue print for a georgous craft room. I'm jealous
Thanks for sharing.
Get well wishes
Thank you so much!
I'm in absolute love!!! Thank You Thank You Thank You for sharing your beautiful space!!!
Thank you! I hope it gave you an idea or inspired you in some way ❤️
I love love love all the vintage drawers 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you 😊
Amazing new space! It’s amazing because of all the work you’ve done to make it functional, comfortable and inviting. You’ve done a lot of work, as you always do, and it has paid off 3 fold! Hoping for a speedy recovery for all your ailments. 🤗❤️ Tamara
Thank you Tamara. Now I'm counting down the days until I have full use of my hand and thumb. I'm in the mood to craft!~
your room is so wonderful....I love all the old sewing machine drawers and things!!!
It is definitely my happy place. Thank you!
Love love love your craft room Cori. and well said about inspiring each other. Please stay safe and get well soon!
Thank you Margreth! I would imagine you have some different and fun storage items in the Netherlands, as well as many that are similar. I appreciate your kind comment and I hope the reminder that we all inspire each other is well received by the viewers. Bless you and take care!
Cori…. We NEED to be friends!!! We love all the same things! I like how you have integrated the vintage pieces into functional storage. Also love how you have stations for each type of supply.
I’m inspired! Just amazing!
Totally agree, we do need to be friends ❤ I'm happy to hear that you've gained some ideas and that we have so much in common.
I love every bit of this! Finding Vintage items to make part of my everyday makes me happy!
Me too Amy. I love wondering where these things lived before they came to be with me.
The storage unit you are referring to is called an Appliance Garage, it usually comes with a tambour door to hide Mixer ect! I love that you like black too! I refurbish dressers ect and like to paint my pieces black too! It just seems to make it look more cohesive! I really liked your apothecary unit! Thanx for sharing☆ Teresa☆
Thank you Teresa! I also love refinishing furniture. It's just a time and space thing as to why I don't do it more often. Maybe when I retire...
Love your craft room and use of vintage boxes and drawers! So many ideas! Thanks so much
Thank you, Rowena. I hope the ideas shared here spark some that you might be able to use 😊
I’d love to see in all those drawers. Thankyou. I do hope you continue to heal ❤❤❤
Thank you, I appreciate that ❤
I love everything. I have so many antiques and vintage stuff I always look for ideas I could do with things I have
.. thank you for sharing
I'm happy to hear you gained an idea or two! Those old bits, being used in different ways, just make me happy 😊
OhMy Goodness. I’m so glad I found your video. It reminded me of Trophy Shop my family had I Dayton Mn. The old feeling to all the storage is Amazing I just loved everything in there. I hope you’re all healed up now and back to Creating Beautiful Things. Thank You so much for sharing your video ❤❤
Thank you Amy and total small world. My oldest daughter is Amy and she moved to MN late last year. I'm happy the video brought back happy memories and I hope an idea or two will benefit you 💕
What a lovely craft room...I love those vintage pieces.
Thank you!
First of all....speedy recovery! 💜 Second...thank you 🙏 for the room tour, love all the antique boxes! 😍
Thank you for the kind words and thoughtful wishes ❤
Cori! What an absolutely wonderful, gorgeous craft room! I am so impressed and everything you have in there speaks to me! Thank you so much for sharing your space with us. Until watching this video, I did not know about your accident and following surgeries let alone your thumb and your wrist! I sure hope by this time you are back to normal!
Thus is the absolute best craft room organization video I've ever seen...& I've watched a ton! Thanks for sharing your space, philosophy & Teaching so well!
Thank you. I've put a lot of thought into what works for me in a craft space, and I hope sharing this helps or encourages others ❤️
The most beautiful craft room I have ever seen!! Thank you for sharing… it is spectacular and inspiring. 🥰
Thank you very much!
Very creative and efficient space! Really inspiring video. I particularly love the drawers from old sewing machines and dressers; and the Big Shot on the rolling cart - brilliant!! Thank you so much for sharing your creative world. 🙏🏽💙😎
May your healing progress quickly.💜🙌🏽🕉
Thank you for your kind comments and well wishes ❤
Such an awesome space! You could go into a whole new direction of designing and making people’s craft spaces! Thanks for the tour! So glad you are doing better. Geezy peezy, what a long and hard road. Praying for a complete return to good health for you, my friend! Impossible to keep a good woman down! Love you, friend!! 🙏❤
And, day made 😊 There is my wonderful friend GA. It's been a tough season and I'm more than ready to be on the other side of it, but still quite grateful that it hasn't been worse. And, I'm me. Looking at that closet with new eyes, thinking all those useful but dark bins need some light. Snippet roll handles perhaps? Ah well, when my hand cooperates. I'm happy you enjoyed the tour and so happy to "see" your beautiful face. Love you right back ❤
I appreciate the slow camera movements so much. Many great ideas thanks.
You are so welcome!
So happy to hear your voice again! I hope you are healing well from ALL of the injuries 😅 You may need to invest in some full-body bubble wrap!
LOL! Believe me, I've considered that! As my legs heals I'm falling less, so that's a happy thing for me.
Oh wow, what an inspiration!!! I just absolutely love this space you've created, and it's exactly the type of look I would like in my own studio. I can see that I'm going to need a lot more sewing machine drawers! ☺. I have the start of a collection - maybe 8 of them, but variety that you have is next level!! Thank you so much for sharing your room and your ideas. The knitting needles in the wooden frames are fantastic, and I love the little wire baskets you mounted on the walls to put decorated tags in. It looks so pretty!
Thank you very much for your kind comments. I'm pleased with the look and function of the room and it always makes me happy to spend time in here, which is the ultimate goal. Best wishes and happy creating to you!
@@CoriDahmen Do you happen to know where you got those 3 wire baskets that you have tags in on the wall? I've been looking for similar ones but haven't had any luck.
Love your craft room!!!!
This is so beautiful! You have done a marvelous job! I love all the antique pieces you used for storage. I am going to start going through all my "junk" that I have stored now and see what I have that I can use! This would be my DREAM craft room! I am sorry about your hand and hope it gets well real soon. Prayers for your healing! 🙏
Thank you very much and I hope your "junk" provided you with a few treasures that you can use to store other treasures ❤️
Thank you for sharing your craft room, Love all the vintage drawers and suitcases. The book cases and designs you created for your crafts are absolutely beautiful. The library cards cabinet is awesome. You inspire me. I am a new subscriber to your channel.
I was wondering why I hadn’t seen any videos pop up from you, but now understand & I’m so sorry. So glad you are doing much better & I absolutely LOVE your new craft room...You’ve done an AMAZING job on it!!! Take care, 🎀 Lily 🎀
Thank you Lily ❤
Wow, what a gorgeous craft space, love your style & love the little boxes/drawers! Hope you are all healed up now.
Thank you. Still working on the "all healed up" bit, but I'm definitely better than I was 😊
I really like your room and the way you use old and vintage items. You have given me some ideas to remake my craft room. I have to go through so much of my things and get rid of what I don’t use. The difficult part will be going through my Mom’s things I have. But you have given me inspiration.
BEST CRAFTY ORGANIZATION VIDEO EVER!!! 🎉 Thank you so much! I just wanna say that living by principles is the way to go!
Also, as a note to folks trying to call out who’s done what when…Be inspired, stop competing, appreciate free content, and learn to bite your tongue/typing. That’s the stuff that tears the community down. Don’t be that person. 💕
Thank you for making me smile. Hugely ❤
This is by far my favorite craft room tour of all time. I love the dark colors they are so calming and feel like a big hug. Thank you so much for sharing, I truly enjoyed the tour.
You are so welcome and I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed it ❤
I so enjoy ALL your videos, sorry for all that's happened to you but glad your healing & looking forward to more of your videos on a regular basis. Take care & know that you are in our prayers
Thank you very much Nikki, your wishes and prayers are deeply appreciated ❤
This is my favorite craft room tour ever. So many clever ideas. Srsly excellent craft space!
Thank you MelissaSue. I spent a whole lot of time thinking about what would or might work to make productio smooth and easy. I'm happy to hear that it's given you ideas ❤
@@CoriDahmen I work a lot on organizing my craft room, too. I love DIY storage. Last week I made a bookcase from cardboard. I often joke that I enjoy organizing my supplies more than actually using them. Lol Aside from DIY storage, I mostly make journals. My main goal for storage is to have everything within "one reach." I've learned that I dislike the work of getting to stuff from stacks of boxes, and forgetting what is buried . The "one reach" rule also makes cleaning up and putting things away so much easier. It's been a total game changer. Looking forward to the series you discussed (teased, lol).
Beautiful Craft room! Thank you for sharing. Praying you recover from whatever illness or struggles you’ve been going through. Blessings friend. Praying for total and complete from the top of your head to the souls of you feet. 💋❤️🙏🏽Love JJJenn
Thank you for the prayers and kind wishes ❤
Love your room , clever ideas and I love your creations . Can’t wait to watch your other videos. Your quite talented
Amazing vintage storage collection. Have fun in there!
Thank you, Donna. A few months later I still love this room and it works really well!
Your space is gorgeous and so many wonderful ideas and tips. Look forward to more!
Thank you so much! I hope an idea or two shared here will benefit you ❤
Dear Cori, I hope you make a full and complete recovery soon! You're such an inspiration to many, including myself. Take care!
Thank you Mary. I appreciate both the positive wishes and the kind words ❤
You are such an inspiration. ❤ I love your room. It feels so warm and cozy. Thank you for sharing it and your wonderful ideas. I hope your recovery is going well.
Thank you, Lynne. Slow and steady with the recovery, but being in my craft room sure makes me happy and takes my mind off some of the challenges!
I have been ill myself so didn't realize you had been hurt....I do hope your healing progresses fast and easily. Being unable to craft is really hard so I feel for you. Please take care of yourself and get better!
Thank you Kim and I’m sorry to hear you’ve been ill. I hope you’re much better now and back to creating ♥️
Fabulous space. I really like that you are using things that you have collected over time where I am coming from also. I've watched a bunch of videos on this since yours and you beat everyone out. You aren't buying a "kitchen" or a whole bunch of new stuff that is just outside of what most of us can afford
Thank you Patti. I'm all about recycling and repurposing. There is a whole lot of useable stuff already on our planet! Plus, the challenge of making it work as you'd like or need is a lot of fun.
So sorry to hear about your injuries. Wishing you a full and complete recovery! Despite your injuries, you've created such a thoughtful, organized and inviting haven for creativity. It's a feast for the eyes, and must bring you great joy. Cheers to you from NE Florida.
Thank you Brenda and yes, I am getting better each day. My creative space does make me happy, and my husband too as now I don't have to search for more storage treasures 😊 Best wishes to you in beautiful NE Florida!
I love your studio for crafting. All the antique containers make it so personal. Continue to heal and share your awesome talent with us! The best to you, Cori.
Thank you Diana ❤
Wow! Fabulous!!!
Thank you 😊
Those boxes are so cool i would love them omg
Wow! Your craftroom is awesome! Love it!
SERENDIPITOUSLY... Yes, indeed to say it best.... It's all out there... Nothing is new or original anymore... Just bedda & a benefit to all that are receptive in receiving the messages... Creativity @ its best... 🤙🎶🌹... 🥳🎨🎉💃💯💡📌
Completely agree ❤
hi cori i enjoyed this video so much - you filmed it so kindly, if that makes sense. you have given us some great tips and ideas, thankyou for taking the time to share all this. your room is lovely, you explain things so clearly, it was lovely spending the time with you xx
It made my day to see your name here 💕 You encourage and inspire me in ways that you'll never know. Your package arrived at a particularly low point and every single day seeing those Jibid pieces cheers me up and brightens my mood. Thank your for spending time with me, for always being so kind, and for being a role model. XX
Omg that lace holder is amazing i love it
Oh my gosh, you sound like me! I fell and tore my rotator cuff-had it repaired. Six weeks later, I tripped over my animals undoing the repair, then re-repaired. 7 weeks after that surgery, I lacerated my Achilles tendon, and 3 months after that I fell again and reinjured my shoulder. I had the third and final shoulder surgery done. 4 months after, I mis stepped, falling into my table saw (mine WAS on 😖). The safety guard went flying and so did the tip of my thumb from just below the nail bed... But it hasn't stopped me, I still keep making things 🤗
Bless you and best wishes for an accident or trouble free year ❤️
CORI. Absolutely in love with your craft room. That being said. I think you should seriously consider a bubble
LOL! Bubbles, bubble wrap and padded rooms have been mentioned 😁
So so beautiful! I love it all!
Thank you, Vickie ❤️
Gorgeous!
Thank you 😊
I have just found your channel and I love it. I needed ideas to organize my craftroom. I am retired and don't have a lot of money to spend but loved seeing things you were using. Thank you so much. I am sorry you have been struggling and hope you are healed soon.
Thank you Lyla, welcome and congratulations on your retirement! I’ve had a few folks wonder at the cost of my room and honestly, it’s a whole lot less than buying new furniture anywhere. Most of the pieces are repurposed or recycled from something else and the black (or white or any color of choice) makes them work together. Best wishes to you as you assemble a craft space that encourages and inspires you ♥️
What a great craft room!!!!!!!!
Thank you ❤
Thank you for all the great ideas!
You are so welcome!
Glad to know someone is Repurposing items as well, well done , keep it up. Blessings

Thank you Natasha ❤ and you’re most welcome.
What a lovely creative space. So much inspiration!!!!
Thank you! It truly is my happy place. If I could just improve the lighting...
Such inspiration. Love these vintage pieces.
Thank you, Wendy. Those old items, used in ways different than they may have been intended, just make me smile 😊
I love you room. It’s what I really wanted but went with Ikea cubes. I have a bunch of antique boxes and such to keep bits and bobs in. I also picked up a bunch of crystal dishes to put fun sparkles things in. My Mom gave me a box of prisms from my childhood home . Grew up in a 1885 Victorian.
So cool that you have those old treasures to love AND use. Thank you Sylvia!
Wow, I'm so amazed with your craft room, becuz I too need to reorganized my craft room, but I live the idea of the black color as opposed to white. & Repurpose other pieces of furniture for storage, but I especially love ur lights, I find it's the most important thing in a craft room, is lighting. The vintage look is what I love as well, sometimes I feel I was born in the wrong era. But I'm able to enjoy the vintage now. I so appreciate u sharing ur craft room, this gives me more ideas on how I can reorganize my own craft room. ❤❤❤
So happy to hear that you found some ideas or inspiration here. Happy room creating to you!
