Haha! Of course ) usually it is a hot mess 😂

One thing I learned from this tour compared to all other tour videos, keep snacks in one of your drawers for when you’re deep into creating and you don’t want to stop! 😂 Thanks for that, Yana!

Great review. What I love most is that you didn’t try to make it picture perfect but instead it’s a real working craft room. Thanks for that. I so happy to see you got a bigger place. I never could figure out how you managed in that tiny corner space and still make such beautiful cards. Great tour.

The white Mosslanda shelves are probably my most favorite storage in my Ikea craft room. Fun tour!

Your video is awesome and so true to life. Some of the other craft room organization videos are so incredibly fancy and ultra organized, I end up feeling inadequate and bad about myself. Now, hearing you freely admit to being a messy crafter (and having seen your lovely creations), I can enter my space and not beat myself up for having 7 projects out waiting to be finished! Thank you Yana, and I am praying that the ordeal you are currently going through will very soon be over and you will continue to remain safe.

It's nice to see you have more room for crafting now, Thank you for the awesome tour!

yay - foil storage coming! I have been searching for something! Thank you for the sneak peek!

So what I appreciate the most about this video - the honest view of how you TRULY keep your craft room. What a great view of you! And just to think your cards come out beautifully all the time‼️🤗

I saved your video to my phone and took you along to IKEA lol. I’m still so happy with all I purchased. I moved last yr and wanted to add to my pegboard. I have white like yours. Well they were out for months. They had lots of the natural and some blue but I liked the white. I ended up getting 4 of the smaller pegboards, I was tired of waiting. Don’t you know a couple of weeks after they have the larger white ones and have not run out since !!! It was a pleasure taking a tour of your much expanded craft area. Love your cards so much.

Very nice craft room! I recently saw your older video about the Ikea pegboard and then went out and bought it that day :) It is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. I only saw them in white and grey and they didn't have all that many accessories at the store. I picked up a couple additional accessories from Amazon. Apart from that, it was fascinating taking a peek at your craft room. You have a lot of stuff, but it looks like it is all organized and at your fingertips. If it were me, I might purge a bit because I like having some space. But of course I never do have space. I start off with a clear desk and next thing I know I am working in a tiny 6"x6" square.

Looks great, and most importantly it has to be functional and what works for you. I too have the Ikea peg board, Alex, SKÅDIS ,etc. My husband got me the same table that adjusts the hight. Super cool feature if I want to work standing. It made me giggle when you said that you keep moving your peg board shelves 😂🤣, I am the same way, add stuff, reorganize,etc. I haven't created anything since Christmas because decided to reorganize my craftroom and clean/purge and once again, make it functional. Thanks for the tour Yana! My next project is inspired on the Mini Blooms dies from Spellbinders so I have been using my scraps to die-cut flowers,leaves and branches🙂

Hey, Barbara. There are different types of ink for different types of the job. There is ink for stamping outline images (and coloring them), there is ink for stamping solid images, ink for ink blending and so on. I like Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated inks for stamping and ink blending (but I dont do a lot of ink blending). I prefer Versafine Onyx Black ink for stamping sentiments in black, and also for stamping outline images I want to color (this ink is not designed to work with alcohol markers, it bleeds, so I set it by adding clear embossing powder on top).

Absolutely appreciate that you are just like the rest of us and you actually craft and room is not totally organized! So happy for you that you have an entire room especially since you are now doing this as full time work as well. I have a question we are moving from the US to Portugal in May and I know you are in Europe. IS it difficult to get supplies from the states etc...? Thankyou in advance!

Thank you for sharing. I love my 3 tier rolling carts. I have my area in my family room. I can roll them over and away to my work area. One has stuff for embossing, I have the wooden cover to keep my switch on top. one is for cricut supplies and one is for stencils and ink blending supplies. May I ask what tripod you have over your work station? Does it hold your phone, camera or tablet? I'm looking for something strong enough to hold my 10.2 iPad.

Oh yes! Rolling carts are indeed amazing. I will have to look into getting a top for my cart, that sounds like a nice idea. As for a tripod - I got it years ago at a garage sale for $5. It only holds my camera, it does not have attachments to hold a phone or a tablet.

Haha, it is an air compressor for painting. I wanted to re-paint the walls in the hallway, and hubby wanted to re-paint the ceiling. We got it last summer, but havent really used it to the full potential (it probably was the most stupid purchase we ever made, we could have bought a smaller one). I like to do home remodel (we put the white floors and baseboards ourselves) so we often buy these types of tools.

I know you said you didn't like the organizer you have your SSS Pawsitively Inks in, but it looks like there might be enough room to keep the re-inker right next to the ink pad. Just a thought. Thanks for the tour of your beautiful space!

I have a 5 x 5 kallax and have long cd boxes in mine which are just the depth of the cubby and fit 2 wide x 2 tall. They're perfect for fiddly clear stamps and smaller sets. I have wire shop display racks in another cubby for reinkers, distress paint and stickles, one row of 5 cubbies with plastic stackable 12x12 paper trays and the next 5 row up, A4 stackable trays, so all my card is in colour order. 3rd row up has Really Useful stackable trays which fit 3 tall and have all those annoying little containers of embossing powder, glitter, perfect pearls, etc in them. My bigger stamps are in clear bins on the top of the kallax. My order of a raskog, rashult & 5 Alex drawers arrives next week which will be great as there's a rather large dolls house plonked in the middle of the room at the moment! It will just fit on the wide Alex. The castors will be great for rotating while I wire it, but they're out of stock of castor ones, or separate castors for the 4 narrow drawers . Bah....

I love the accessibility of shelves and pegboard systems, but worry about dust. Would be interested to hear from those who use this storage method about maintaining the space.

I have a lot of open shelves and also the peg boards and I don’t have mayor problems with dust. But I keep a swiffer duster nearby if it really gets dusty.

Awesome craft room, Yana! Best tip for me was making a second tier for the peg board shelves, so that you could see the second row of products and don't have to dig through to find something. That's what is most frustrating for me in my craft room so you can bet I'll be using that tip. Thanks for taking the time out of your hectic schedule to share Yana.
