Welcome to the latest version of my art studio. This studio is 25+ years in the making and I’ve found there are 2 things that are critical for me when putting together a creative space. You'll see how those guided my decisions when it came to organizing the art studio and I hope it will give you ideas for what you can do in your space.

You can find me designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, teaching in person and online workshops and sharing the message of O.O.P.S. here on RU-vid and on the blog, aColorfulJourney.com
What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that we so harshly criticized ourselves about actually became true gifts as soon as you start saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly!
I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.

This was the best and most useful studio tour I’ve ever watched. I got so many ideas and inspiration from you. Thank you so much!!

@michellec9368 2 года назад

OMG! Just OMG! What a great studio. I myself am a self admitted procrastinating hoarder who is now so overwhelmed and anxiety ridden by the mountains of stuff now strewn about my entire house it’s been over a year since I’ve created a thing. I want to thank you for sharing your tips & more importantly the reasoning behind it. We’ve all watched the videos tour and drooled at those magazine ready covered craft rooms, very crafter dream. The entire space and everything in it is color coordinated, perfectly spaced, the storage bins and containers are all the same brand, no mixing and matching going on in there. I might be afraid to actual use and create in the space for fear of messing everything up. That’s another thing about your space, it’s a real working craft space where you can create without fear. Since it took you over 25 years to fill it up it was impossible for you to make sure you only got things that coordinated well together instead you used what you have and what works for you. Using your tips I hope to actually dent my mess before simply sobbing & throwing up my hands in utter hopelessness and despair. Congratulations on your beautiful space, that sink is to die for, if anyone deserves it especially after 25 years it is you.

Great tour. I found myself nodding in agreement with almost everything you said. :)

@lindseylovesart 3 года назад

What an extremely helpful video! And very practical ideas! I have that problem where i store things away and if I don’t see it I forget I have it. I don’t want that! Thank you for sharing your space. I especially appreciated the ideas for stencil organization..... And those stairs! 💜

@sophyriggs5173 3 года назад

Can I do a residency here?????

@sewcrazy423 3 года назад

Lightbulb moment. I have an immaculate art room. Everything is in its place behind white doors and drawers. I thought it would be good to have no distractions with all of the ephemera in my face. AND my family would stop complaining about the "mess." Yeah, talk about artists' block. At the beginning of the video, I just cringed at the sheer "clutter" and "mess", then as I watched you happily explain your method of process, I got so inspired with ideas. FIRST, I need to remove some doors and open some drawers and reacquaint myself with my own precious messy self that I stored away and start to have some fun again! Thank you so much!!! You have no idea how much I needed your help.

@LibbyRal 3 года назад

OMG - the bakers racks, perfect storage to replace obscenely expensive flat files. I'm a fine artist - watercolors - i did find an 18in deep 6 ft tall, 4 ft wide shelf that stored some large watercolor sheets, along with being great for many other supplies, but it wouldn't accommodate larger sheets. Those would make affordable storage for watercolor sheets. Thank you thank you thank you. Also thank you for defining the hunter/gatherer ethos. i'm the same as you when I do mixed media. So thanks for all the other great storage ideas and arrangements

@gabriellsbaby 3 года назад

I am a professional artist, I would love to have an art studio with that much light and space and storage, I don't think I ever have. When you are a working artist there just isn't budget for such luxury especially if you live in city where the arts and artists live. We tend to carve out space in our small houses or share rented space with a lot of other artists. It is less about art supplies collected and more about things you hoard that are left over from other projects so you can not only save a little money but you can offer up supplies to other artists around you who may need them, most artists don't take trips to the craft store on the daily, it isn't convenient and it can be expensive. I love this studio but I just want to shout out to other artists not to feel bad, most of us have a kitchen table, the corner of a garage, a shared studio with ten other artists where we have to time and space share. Here in the Bay Area a very small shared studio can cost about 1300 dollars a month (just your share). Curious what kind of art you make in this space, you look very busy, is there a place I can see it?

@stephaniebreslin3466 3 месяца назад

This is realistic, practical and so many original ideas! Thank you so much for sharing!!! ❤

@LilianGuerrero 3 года назад

Great studio tour. The bakers rack is genius! I keep all my bits and pieces in sturdy cardboard box lids from shoe or gift boxes (which are shallow like the bakers trays) and stack them on top of each other. Love everything about this studio tour. Thank you for all of your awesome tips and organization ideas. :)

@TheOkayKo 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing! This video was really helpful. I’m currently doing a studio clean out and organize for the new year and needed the reminder to organize based on how I instinctively want to create and not necessarily what is “Pinterest Pretty”

@kellyparkerdesigns 3 года назад

Lots of great advice! Would love to know about camera set up too!

@amberjade8528 2 года назад

I love your art room. One day I hope to set one up for myself a little like this. I really appreciate how you’ve put this video together to. Thank you, awesome work 💖

@lindadecker556 3 года назад

I'm so jealous. All that space. Great setup! I love that you can change things when it's no longer working for you. I use something very similar to your storage of stencils. There's a company that sells all kinds is displaying racks. Marvolus.com has different sizes of hat racks. It looks just like yours. I got the idea from Gina Ahrens ( hope I'm spelling her name right).

@sandyhoward1661 3 года назад

New subbie..found you while searching on Pinterest for craft storage...and Im so glad I did xx😀💞 what a colorful and well thought out craft room to create in. Loved it!! Well done, and thank you so much for not only the tour, but also the great tips in placement of supplies. Hugs xx💞🤗💞

Can you identify the specific white tables from IKEA? (Light weight and easy to move.) Thanks in advance!

@nangustafson8110 3 года назад

Cool room 💖 Where did you get the red chair? Looks like you could sit backwards in it (your front leaning against the chair back). I’m browsing your pan pastel videos. 😁

@janiecox8766 2 года назад

I finally got to watch this. Our studios are very similar. I enjoyed your class in Paducah SO MUCH!

@laurastaley7627 3 года назад

I’m in the process of organizing my craft room and this video is full of ideas I can use! It was great to find an organizing video by someone who is visual like me! Thanks!

@_girafff_6612 3 года назад

Thank you for that great tour ! I loved that you explained your choices instead of just showing each drawer. I got a lot of inspiration !!

@anne7441 3 года назад

Great tour - congrats on your lovely space. Thanks for the tips about organizing. Love your enthusiasm!

@adrianag.2591 2 года назад

Thank you for letting us into your studio. Those colored steps are super cool. I learned I am a hunter. Still need to buy another IKEA cube shelf for my studio but not rushing it. Also for my Wanderlust 2022 materials, I repurposed a rectangular basket 🧺 and 2 clear cubes to keep my most use supplies on it. Then if I want to work on a different craft I have all that clear out of table.

@captaindingbat 2 года назад

Just found you, I have a spare room we are just about to start turning into a studio in the next few weeks, including a sink, how lucky am I! Anyway, I’ve picked up some great ideas, thank you!

@kaygilligan6884 3 года назад

Hi miss Carolyn I love your videos you are such a inspiration. I'm starting out lol honestly with just a shoebox. Me and my little girls are moving out of state so I barely have anything which is okay. I was just wondering if the boxes of scraps of paper and bits and pieces you have if maybe you had any extra, I have some money if I can buy them but moving has taken alot. If not I truly understand Much love..kaylyn

@joseecamfferman5949 3 года назад

Oh no, now I want to change my studio!😅 Thank you for this tour&tips. If you want, I would like some more information about your camera. Thanx allready!

@rochellevanderwall7381 3 года назад

Awesome studio you have. You are very inspiring. Tfs. I used some of your ideas. You have saved me from frustration overload with stencils that get too cosy with each other. Plastic sheets between them, genius. I hung mine from cheap metal towel bars from Menards with hooks from the clip it up unit, outgrew that too fast. Also use a lampshade frame hung from ceiling for large stencils. Thanks for sharing your creativity. Love your art and videos.

@otter-pro Год назад

The studio is very nice... both practical/functional and esthetic. Please show us your camera setup, too.

@cassandrarickard1681 3 года назад

Certain elements in the organization are spot on and intelligent. Yet I dont see the organization thrue out the whole space. Mind, it probably works for you. From my perspective, the trays of current projects are awesome, the stencil storage awesome. And other elements. Yet the shelves do not have a flow. They seem just packed into a spot to be off the designing space. But your needs are bigger than mine 😊

@4re4rts68 3 года назад

When you decide to move how do you recommend you'd organize everything, its cause I'm going to start college online for about 6 months and then in February I go on campus and thats like a few states away from mine and well I have a lot of stuff 💀 but hpw do you recommend I do this😅

@karenatkinson4053 3 года назад

I really like all your ideas and reasons for the way you have arranged your art supplies. Your studio looks like a great place to get creative. Thank you for sharing. I have been subscribed to your channel for a while now, however several months ago You Tube decided to stop sending most of the channels I am still subscribed to. I have tried unsubscribing and then subscribing again as suggested by a few people, but it hasn't worked. I will try to remember to go directly to you channel. I found this video on the sidebar.

@terryhall2299 3 года назад

You gave me quite a few ideas on how to better organize my craft supplies so I don’t have to go across the room to get them. Thank you that! I am interested in your camera set up and would love to see a video on how you do that.

@RebeccaZdybel 3 года назад

I’d love to see a video of your camera setup! Also just ordered your j hooks! Thanks for that great idea! Now I need to find a base system to hang them on. Anyone out there have any ideas?

@thebuehlerinstitute6166 4 месяца назад

This is fantastic because I can have my husband watch it and understand better WHY I want my studio to look a certain way. I’m about to do a studio update and appreciate the ideas and your thinking behind them.

@womenintec 2 года назад

Excellent especially as I am doing my studio yet again. I would love to see about the camera. And just for beans how many square ft do you have? Love your videos but there is not enough time anymore.

@AntyPam4250 3 года назад

So many good ideas, starting with using transparency sheets between stencil masks (genius!) to having multiple boxes and changing them out to keep ephemera fresh (just like we used to do with kids’ toys!) Thanks so much for taking the time to do this for us, especially when we all know: you’d rather be creating! 👏🏻❤️🤗

@Squabetty 3 года назад

Brilliant!! I started using J hooks on my stencils about five or six years ago and they have been absolutely amazing everyone who sees them just thinks they are the most brilliant thing in the world so kudos to you I had not seen the circular hangup options which intrigue me! My other favorite storage is necktie holders for all of my ribbon I hang my ribbon on the back of my studio door massive storage minimal space all in view and yes I do have it organized by color! I currently have a utility sink that I use but I can tell you that dog grooming sink is looking mighty fine........! 😉

@MimisTreasureCottage 3 года назад

I love the Baker's racks. You and I are a lot alike. I like flexibility and visibility, too.

@js3184 3 года назад

Your personality is infectious

@svetlanapil8089 2 года назад

I loved several ideas, but J hooks got me thinking. I thought I had no use for them, but that could make a great display for selling art prints!

@scottiemorey8917 3 года назад

Great studio tour! That sink is genius! Do you have concern about acrylic paint clogging pipes?

@karenferguson7662 2 года назад

thank you for the great tips...I have watched a few of these types of videos and yours has given me some useful tips and ideas that the others didn't...I know that I'm a gatherer now, so I can set things up in my new craft space with that in mind...I look forward to watching some more of your ideas...

@MimiLisa1961 3 года назад

I have to say my favorite part of your studio were the stairs going up! How awesome were they? I also wish I had a sink in my studio. There are things I would be more likely to do if I could clean up without having to carry things to the kitchen for clean-up when I got done. Thanks for sharing your space!

@TheCurliesheep 2 года назад

Althogh your studio is probably as big as the half of my whole house🤣😅i still agree with what your saying and still can get a lot of ideas from it because the way you explain why you have things stored like this instead of just showing everything you have and the storage container🙂wish i had the space to hang my stencils out more but maybe we will find a way in the end🤔

@amandalynnart Год назад

@Mandrake_root 2 года назад

I work at a small art supply store and there are so many similarities. The store is definitely designed for "hunters" and pretty much everything can be moved around because we're always adding and taking things out. The stuff that is most visible gets bought more often by "gathererers" lol I hope I eventually have the resources to have a studio. Currently I've turned the 1 bedroom in my apartment into the studio and my bed is in the living room 😂 it works out. Slowly but surely I'm getting more shelves and drawers and storage things to make it manageable.

@kyleoliver9538 Год назад

What a great studio, I can't believe I haven't seen this video before. I loved your old yellow studio too. I love the bakers rack, I've been imagining something like that to manage projects and paper collections. I'd love to have space for those movable tables in the center. I agree, out of sight, out of mind. I like to be able to see as much of my supplies as possible. In our last house I had little wall space, so I got a portable magnetic whiteboard 2' x 3' that I could move around and attach things to both sides. Now I still use it out in my garage studio, it's great for sticking up gel prints to dry. Thanks for explaining all your decisions, I organize in a similar way, hunter & gatherer. I'm very happy for your success, you've earned it! Hi to Dave, your adorable husband 🙂

OMG! I think the bankers racks may be the est solution in the world for me and I NEVER would have thought of it myself. Thank you!

@TrueLoveX1027 Год назад

I’m currently in the process of making a designated mm studio. So many truly FAB ideas!!! I appreciated seeing how our brains had some of the same inconsistencies in organization, which also answered some of my queries on how to handle storage/display! Thanks ever so much for taking the time to put your “imperfectly perfect” things all in place so we could really see the nuts and bolts of how the studio all came together and the enormous list of product links are incredible!! Considering how long you’ve been collecting some of these items, that had to be a chore. Please know how grateful I am for ALL of your efforts!!! ❤

@DebadooCreates 3 года назад

Wheeee! Thanks for the tour. I love the way you did your stencils. That would work for embossing folders too. Will definitely be getting some J hooks! I have constant fairly severe pain. So bending over is difficult. The second I saw your sink, I thought, awesome.....I could wash my little dog in that too! Then you said what it was LOL. Also love the idea of hanging brayers on the wall. I don't know if they even make them for 1/2 sheet pans, but I've wanted baker's racks like that for the kitchen for a long time. Jup, I'm a hunterer also LOL. & I'd love to see a video on the filming set up. I just found your channel & subbed, so you disregard if you have done one already, I didn't notice when this was filmed.

@mishti06 3 года назад

Ohh what a fantastic tour video. Totally made me want to clean up my mess. And thank you for being brave enough to show us the messy version too..we need to see that. I need to cull my stuff but don't know how to start. Everytime I do I just can't part with it. Maybe one day you could do a video on "art supplies separation anxiety"?? Lol. Thank you for sharing Carolyn.🥰

@10AntsTapDancing 2 года назад

Loved the video. I'm just getting into mixed media and slow stitching and storage ideas are badly needed. I've retired from dressmaking and you can guess how much stuff I have from that life. The part I loved the most though was the two doggo's on their comfy beds surveying their kingdom and how quickly they leap into action to supervise the table demo :)

@melanie990 3 года назад

Fantastic ideas, thank you so much!!! I have some super floppy stencils, not so sure how those would go up. But it sure beats those heavy awkward binders they're in now! Do you store your stamps in a specific way too? Thanks so much!!

@sharontilyard949 3 года назад

Hello Carolyn - I’m a new subbie from Susan Taylor Brown’s channel!!! This was a fun and fabulous tour of your studio with lots of helpful hints and tips. Thank you so much for sharing!!! Hugs, Sharon 🌷💜

@Taitcreates639 3 года назад

Fantastic ideas for a craft room. I live alone and it’s not always physically possible to put things up on the wall for storage. Congrats on the move. Your space is amazing and so functionable. Enjoy. Tfs
