My new Etsy Space, Studio Tour

I finally  have my Etsy room Set up.

First a look back...

Up to now I've had product stored in a barn, garage, under tarps, and inside in various closets.

I've had several set ups for photography. Mostly I was either hot or cold unless I set things up indoors.

 

Shipping was either done at  work or at home in my computer room.

But not any more. I'd like to introduce you to my New, All-in-one...

Etsy Room and Studio!!!!

 

With a place for goods

And for shipping supplies

And a bench for shipping, photos, and projects

Of course I've incorporated Vintage and re-purposed items wherever I can

A place to process in new finds

And lots of room for ...

I'm so very happy with this space, and am so glad to have it all in one place. It will be so much easier to keep everything clean and in good condition while it waits for it's new home. And maybe I won't have as much trouble finding something once it sells. ;)

A peek at my shelves and treasures in my newly organized creative space

Here is a peek at the treasures I keep in my creative space.

 

Once again, inspired by blogger Shabby Vintage Junk, All my goodies are gathered and sorted in clear jars, and various other containers that I had handy.

Instead of labels, if it wasn't abundantly clear what is inside the jars, I hung one object on the jar to represent what it holds.

Some of my favorite little trinkets and goodies live on this shelf too.

I also thinned out my collection of tidbits and you can find these treasures in my Etsy shop.

And a prized rotating bin is put to use, with more treasures, and supplies.

Goal #5 Display & 6 Door

This is the fun part

I don't like to dig for my stuff

I like it all out in the open

Above: Love this old leather tool belt tool holder thing. I just screwed it to the crates, and it's a great place for my pliers etc. Lots of little divided drawers and the crates are great for gaining height storage.

Below: I made this a few years ago out of locker baskets.


This old drying rack is perfect for all the little embellishments



And because this place is a creative space, and will not always be tidy and organized


A door to close



I hope you've enjoyed this trip of me creating my new creative space.
I hope that lots of fun creations will flow out of this space for me to share.
Tomorrow I'll share the first one.

Goal # 3 Usefulness & #4 Storage

Goal #3, Maintain Space for Extra guests

Done!!!

Couch may be ugly, but it folds out as a bed, and has been very useful for guests. May purchase slip cover in the near future.
This room is not used as much anymore, because I have a better guest room downstairs. This is great for kids, or extra teens when they visit though.

Goal #4,Storage using existing pieces

These small file drawers are great for sewing and craft supplies


This room has no closet, so the wardrobe is necessary. Now it's stores more than my wedding dress.

Done!!



I'd like to take a moment to encourage you to visit
Jodi's new blog for the Gresham Barn Sale.




Jodi has been working to learn how to blog and she's getting it. So pop over, give her some encouragement, and see what she's up to for the next sale.

Creative Space Goal #1 & #2

Goal #1, Keep Sewing machine, out and ready for use at all times.

Love this old wooden folding table I found. Folds up the size of a card table.
