Have you thought about removing the bifold door all together and replacing it with a piece of hanging fabric, or no door and use the closet for open shelving? I realize you rent but the door can be put back up if you move. This would give you either more floor space - or easily accessible storage. If you keep the bifold door, attach some cork to the panels and use it as a cork board,.

Great video Julie, im a renter as well and I love command hooks they don't mar the walls and Im able to used them with curtain rods to place punches on them but really you can hang anything from ribbons to stencils :) tfs

@kkaisu That is a great idea. I had to do that to my craft closet since i'm also a renter. Its neat because it adds a little style to the room.

Great video, Julie!! Hmm, I guess I will also have to list the stuff on the floor that I don't have a place for at this time. You gave me some ideas (mainly "put it somewhere." Got to go draw the room and label so that I can change things around.

Great video Julie. I have my stuff all spread out through out my house. But in kind of sections. I have a sewing desk area, paint containing area, and a "scrappy everything else" area. I wish I could condense it into one room. No room though. :(

You are so lucky to have a whole studio... I have 1 desk in my livingroom, with 2 IKEA boxes beneath it... ;) Veeery difficult to organize my stuff in that space... I've tried.....

You are THE best, Julie. i'm not a stalker, don't worry, but i would seriously move to NY from Vancouver Canada to be your neighbour on the off chance we might craft together. :-D (i already live in one of those shoebox condos, so it wouldn't be that much of an adjustment!) ;-) Thanks so much for the fabulous organizational inspiration.

P.S. just bought my first of your stencils yesterday & can't wait to try some of your ideas. P.P.S. okay, perhaps i am an stalker... online only... heehee
