Craft Room
Craft Room: Declutter, Contain, & Organize
Craft Area (before): This storage unit was being used minimally, so we were able to sort and create a systemized zone for craft supplies.
Craft Area (before): The surface had become a catch-all, and needed containment.
Craft Area (after): By removing many craft items from their boxes/original containers, we were able to help everything find a home in an orderly way.
Craft Area (after): Labeling drawers helped the client find items and maintain the system.
Craft Area (after): Divided lazy Susans allowed us to adjust containers to just the right size.
Craft Area (before): This nook turned into a tuck-away desk for crafting.
Craft Area (before): This hide-away desk allowed for the client to keep precious square footage when not crafting, and prevented a deep nook from being a hard-to-use space.
Craft Area (before): Without an organizational system in place though, the desk couldn't be tucked away.
Craft Area (after): By creating zones for various crafting supplies, we were able to streamline efficiency...
Craft Area (after): ...and close the desk up again.
Backstock Area (before): This almost-hidden space became a catch-all for backstock.
Backstock Area (before): This almost-hidden space became a catch-all for backstock.
Backstock Area (after): By decluttering and decanting (removing things from original containers), we were able to reclaim this space for backstock.
Backstock Area (after): This wine cooler wasn't being used for its designed purpose, so we used it as a hydration station near workout equipment.
Backstock Area (after): Tucking away backstock helps everything have its home.
Office Area (before): This space had a lot of purposes: crafting, business, workout, and storage. Unfortunately without established zones, things flowed into one another, making work in the office less productive.
Workout Area (before): This was difficult to access because not everything had an established home.
Office & Workout Area (after): By separating office/work from crafting, the client was able to declutter and work more efficiently. Finding a specific home for the backstock away from the workout equipment ensured it was accessible.
