How does Debbie store spray inks, mists and paints?

On the Desk Storage Tower. Its adjustable shelves let her set the right height for each kind of bottle, so sprays, mists, paints and texture pastes stay visible, lined up by color, and easy to reach from the island.

How does she organize ephemera and embellishments for junk journals?

In clear Acrylic Drawer Cups inside labeled cabinet drawers. Frames, florals, tags, postcards and die-cuts each get their own cup, and each drawer is labeled by category (for example, “Ephemera – Frames”). The cups lift out onto the desk while she works and drop back in when she is done.

Where do the stamps and dies live in a mixed media room?

In a Stamp & Die Storage Cabinet. Each stamp and die set is stored on a Magnet Card inside a Storage Pocket with a tab for labeling, and Crate Dividers split the drawer by theme or brand. The drawer works like a card catalog: find the tab, lift the set out, and drop it back in. Wood-mounted stamps are sorted by theme in shallow drawers with label holders on the front.

How is the patterned paper and vintage paper stored?

On slanted shelves in Storage Cabinets configured for paper, with 8.5x11 Paper Holders and Three-Tier Paper Holders on top for cardstock and works in progress. The slant tips every stack toward her so she can scan a whole collection without pulling a sheet.

Where are the ink pads?

Faced out on the wall in Slim Ink Pad Holders, arranged by color family, plus a rotating Ink Pad Carousel by the window for the distress inks she reaches for most.

What furniture is in Debbie's craft room?

A 10-foot Straight Craft Desk under the windows, a Craft Island in the center of the room, Storage Cabinets and a Stamp & Die Storage Cabinet along the walls, and Desk Storage Towers for sprays and paints. All of it is Best Craft Organizer furniture, made in Hutchinson, Minnesota, fitted with Stamp-n-Storage organizers for ink pads, markers, ribbon and paper.

What kind of crafting is this room set up for?

Mixed media, junk journaling and Bible journaling. The room prioritizes wet media, ephemera and embellishments, with stamps, dies and inks kept close for finishing a page. The same furniture is used for card making and scrapbooking; only the drawer and shelf configuration changes.

Can I set up a similar room in a smaller space?

Yes. Every piece is modular, so a single Storage Cabinet with Acrylic Drawer Cups and one Desk Storage Tower covers the ephemera-and-paint core of Debbie's system. The free craft room planner lets you drop your room dimensions in and see what fits before you buy.
