Declutter & Reset Organizing

Here's something I understand personally: a creative space can go from inspiring to overwhelming faster than almost any other room in the house.

One minute you have a beautiful sewing corner, fabric sorted by color, notions in their place, projects you're genuinely excited about. And then life gets busy, a few projects pile up, you buy some yarn you couldn't resist, and suddenly the room that was supposed to be your sanctuary feels like one more thing to deal with.

If you're a crafter — a sewist, a knitter, a quilter, a mixed media maker, someone with seventeen half-finished projects and absolutely no regrets — this one is for you.

Why craft spaces are uniquely hard to organize

Craft spaces aren't like kitchens or living rooms. You can't just find a home for everything and call it done, because the stuff keeps changing. New projects come in. Supplies accumulate. That fabric you bought two years ago for a project you haven't started yet feels impossible to get rid of because you might still use it. The half-finished knitting project on the needles can't be put away because then you'll lose your place entirely.

Add to that the fact that most crafters are also collectors at heart. The joy is partly in the having — the beautiful skein of hand-dyed yarn, the fabric print you fell in love with at the shop in Longmont, the buttons you've been saving since forever. Organizing a craft space means working with someone who understands that the stuff isn't just stuff. It means something.

I knit and sew myself. I get it. Contact me for a free consult--I'd love to help you!

Updating a home office to add some yarn and sewing storage. Part one of many. 🧶 All yarn is my fave

My Boulder client’s beautiful sideboard/buffet that sits behind the couch and near the dining table needed more function, less friction, and some decluttering. Its purpose is to store art supplies fo their 5 year old’s card making and family board games.

Calm was added by clearing off most of the items on top of the sideboard (we left the globe, charging station and current favorite art piece on display.) 🖼️ 🌎 🎲

My clients built these two cabinets I found that hold up to 50 pounds per shelf.

We made labeled sections for baking, sauces, candy, chef tools, canned veggies, fruit, jam, meds, bags and foil, and appliances.

These would all be things that would go into a kitchen or pantry (their pantry is a small closet.) we needed to create a pantry and create sections for the way this family lives and looks for things.

My client told me this makes every day better!😊💜

My clients were out of their home for 3 months after a flood and renovation. After, they still had too many coffee mugs and not enough cabinets. We created stations in this built in: water, coffee, snacks, and smoothies.

See next pic for the blue pantry cabinets I helped them source and organize! Their kitchen has only a few cabinets.

From an unusable game and cello room to one that is inviting and organized. We repurposed the white bench from another room in the house. 🎻🪴👾

After and Before of a primary closet declutter. We set it up so that sweaters and pants are more accessible because they’re not piled high.
