With bits and pieces of my various projects migrating to almost every room, my whole house seems to be my studio. I mainly work at my kitchen table, not terribly glamorous but it has great light and a wonderful view of my backyard.
I have a variety of storage containers.
I'm particularly fond of these.
I like the orderly little compartments and the fact that I can see what's inside without opening the lid.
This case is very efficient at storing a number of larger items. The multi-level tiers give me a lot of storage in a small space which is really great when I go to workshops.
I'm pretty low tech too and have been 'green' well before it was the 'in' thing to be.
I re-use all sorts of containers from plastic bags to cardboard boxes.
This has been my long time favorite way to keep my supplies semi-organized. The emphasis on semi, because while I'd love to be super organized I never quite seem to get there.
How do do like to organize your supplies/workspace. I'd love to hear your tips and tricks.
Stumble It!

thanks for sharing pics of your workspace & storage ideas...I recycle packaging all the time...especially little jars & bottles.
My workspace can also be all over the house, depending on what I'm working on. I have the compartmentalized containers for my beads also. When I'm working on jewelry a lot, I will have so many on my work table. At some point I'll have to clean it all up. Since I use a guest bedroom, when guests arrive, that's when I have to clean it up.
My bead store owner/friend said that we should all take photos of our work spaces, and she that is the messiest should win!
I enjoyed seeing your studio and love your view! I use a tackle box to store most of my beads in so I can carry them around the house since I don't have a studio either. I also put the tag from the bead string in like you do so I always know what it is and the cost of each bead.
Mary, I work all over my house, too--not necessarily in one room--so I enjoyed seeing how you store things. I like the box & bag approach!
Great post :) Thanks for participating in my carnival :)
I have an entire room for all of my stuff...and I still need more space!!! You have your supplies very neatly organized :)
This make s me wonder how many of us actually work all over the house. It feels good not to be alone!
I love seeing other peoples workspaces!
like the tassel and bead bags! Pretty! {:-Deb
Organized? I'm supposed to be organized, too! Oh, heck.
I do use trays a lot. That way, my current project can be portable, easy to carry from place to place, or put away. When I run out of trays, I clean up!
