I spent the weekend tidying up my studio, and I realized I had never posted proper ‘after’ pictures. I’ve shown little snippets here and there, but never the whole thing. Time to remedy that, yes?
The studio is where I package up all of the orders for my shop (Pink Loves Brown). The room may not always be this tidy, but it usually stays fairly neat because everything has a place. That makes my little perfectionist heart happy.
It looked like this originally (eek). Brandon and I put in the bamboo floor ourselves, painted (walls, ceiling, and trim), installed new closet doors, and switched out the ceiling fixture. I made the curtains out of Moda’s uptown “mom’s couch” fabric.
Here’s the view in from the doorway.
This is what I refer to as “the shipping center”. It’s my least favorite side of the room (all of the open storage looks a little cluttered), but it’s very functional and necessary.
I’ve shown this photo of my order sorting process before, but here it is again. I put patterned paper along the back of a shoe cubby from Target.
Here’s the underside of the table with all of the shipping boxes and supplies. The white shelves are also from Target.
I store envelopes for my cards and stationery along the open shelves of my IKEA VÄRDE kitchen island. Most of my crafty supplies are inside the closet. I removed the clothing rail that was originally in there and I assembled shelving from The Container Store to hold everything.
Here’s a peek inside.
I store some extra envelopes and my ironing board behind the door. You can also see a little of my photo shoot setup along the right (which I’ve shown before) tucked into the funny little alcove there. I store extra shipping boxes under that table.
Here’s another view. Those suitcases along the top of the bookcase are for sale in my shop.
So there you have it. My studio!

Sooo absolutley lovely! I am redecorating my room right now, and my desk area is in need of proper paper storage. I have been on such a quest to find the right ones, and i fell in love with all your storage boxes here, where did you get them? The pink ones especially ;)
I LOVE YOUR STYLE!!!! I LOVE YOUR WORK ROOM!!! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT STYLISH PAPER THAT YOU BACK THE SHOE/BOOKCASE??? I LOVE IT!!
Nice! You could easily curtain off that table where the mailing supplies are, a couple of cup hooks and an adjustable rod would do the trick with the fabric of your choice.
you are my hero. pretty and organized.
thanks!!!
i love your studio! I’ve been procrastinating to do up my studio but you’ve just inspired me to get busy!
I’m speechless! I didn’t think people with such perfectly organized work spaces really existed! This is my impossible dream :)
Hi, I’m just new to blogging but came across your site, your office space is amazing, I love the pastel colours. I have looked at some of your products and wonder if you send things to Scotland and what would the postage be.
Thanks Patricia
Nicole,
Good afternoon! I wonder if you do delivery to Brazil and how much is that set with 03 yellow bags. How much is shipping?
His work is perfect! Beautiful!
Congratulations!
Thank’s

Wow, this is so impressive! I am about to move into a one bedroom apartment, so a total room like this won’t be possible. But it does inspire me to organize all of my scrapbooking and card making stuff. I love it!
Many thank’s for sharing this! I love your studio…
thanks,

Ok, I HAVE to ask: where did you get those wooden (?) scissors on the wall? They are amazing!!
(Thank you!)
The scissors were from Pottery Barn.
Thank you! I am going to keep searching for some on ebay… hopefully someone grows sick of them so I can grab ‘em up! :)
such a nice place to work in. great job.
Heya,

WOW! just found you… what a room :) can I ask where you got those wire baskets that are hanging in some of the Expedit’s boxes?? THanks!
How beautiful, you are so organized. I am completely envious. I think I tidy my craft room every other day, and it never stays that way … how does that happen?
AH! makes my heart go pitter patter! Great job!
I discovered your blog a couple of weeks ago and I am like stalking you now. lol. I love your entire house! My husband and I are MAYBE/POSSIBLY going to be purchasing our first home which will def be a fixer upper. Where have you purchase any interior doors or closet doors? I LOVE your studio closet doors!
Hello, I’ve found your studio room from google. You do have a nice and neat room. I love how you store your products. Lately, I’m planning to clean up my craft room as well. I’m interested in where you’ve bought those black baskets where you have hang them up in the Expedit bookshelves.
Hi –
Love the website – it’s a recent discovery. Can you tell me where you got the round, white table and the chairs that are in your studio? I’ve been looking and looking.
Thanks,
Brenda
Hi Nicole,
Are you going to keep the old white Ikea table in the new basement office? How is it holding up so far?
The green floor in your newly done basement looks amazing. I am excited to see your new office. :)
i saw above that someone had the same question i did…where you got the wire baskets on your shelves…they almost look like drawers. i went to your etsy shop about those darling suitcases, but you’re temporarily closed. do you sell those baskets, too? would LOVE to get those because i just bought the billy bookcases for my studio and would love to make use of the space with those wire baskets…now i’m lusting for those. thanks so much!
Hi, I would also love to know more about those little wire shelves hanging inside your Expedit. Love your room!
