    Do you think the @CreateRoom will be a good fit for me?

      No. There are better, less expensive options available.

    I know exactly what you’re going through because I myself just downsize when my son moved out. My new home is literally half the size of my old one and with NO CLOSETS! I am currently attempting to organize my new craft room and I came onto your page for inspiration. So I thank you and I wish you only the best in your new home and with your move. 🥰

    IMHO the dream box is great for people who have small amounts of lots of things, not those of us who have more of less categories. On my channel, in my room tour, I’ve made a great system with the Pax wardrobes system. My printers and cutters are on pull-out shelves so i can pull stuff as i need it and put it away when I don’t. My space origamis from sewing space to sublimation to formulation to paper crafts as i need it. Additionally, The Really Useful Box company makes the drawers you’re looking for. Not cheap, but very strong.

    • @ashleefalco

      When Michael’s sold the drawers, it was from really useful box, but the price was so much cheaper than now 😭 they must’ve realized they were sitting on gold!

    My craft space is so out of control it was as living room/dining room! So many printers, presses, and yes I love those drawers but need more!! They are the best. Never thought of using them for more than paper. I need more storage solutions that don’t cost a fortune! Can’t wait to see your new space.

    I have quite a collection of stuff myself. I say I will need it for next project. I had to pack up my stuff so I can relate. I’ve been eyeing the create room too. I would do a yard sale, sell online or do giveaways. You give me ideas of storage.

    • @ashleefalco
      @ashleefalco  16 днів тому

      I think the create room would be the easiest storage solution. Have all your craft supplies in one area and then you’re able to close the doors to the clutter.

    Oh My Goodness, you are too funny!
    I wish that your new Craft Room size wouldn't have to be compromised but that's the unfortunate part about having to downsize.
    And no, you are not alone when it comes to having an overly amount of craft items which BTW, my space is waayyy... smaller than your space and I still be trying to find an extra corner for something new but my last item that I am reserving space for is my 36 in. Canon printer and then it's a wrap, no more stuff because I do have to get a storage unit but the good thing about it is that it is for my business so I won't be taking a loss on the pockets.
    I do believe that @CreateRoom will be great for you and I hope that you get 1 because I will definitely be waiting for all of the great videos from delivery to setup from you!
    I can't wait!
    Im so excited for you!!💝

    I have a love hate with sublimation and. It has taken years to master it if you even can. It is a constant learning curve so if you aren’t into that then it will never be something you love.

    • @ashleefalco
      @ashleefalco  13 днів тому

      It's not really the learning curve that gets me, it's the constant wasting of expensive blanks. Unlike laser crafting where you can test cuts and projects on cheap cardboard sublimation you have to use the blank only to mess up and never be able to do anything with it again.

It has become a family joke but it is so frustrating. And I don’t like selling things of cheap quality so I don’t use cheap blanks. I have wanted to get a laser but the choices are so overwhelming!
