I LOVE your eye for vintage, and your room. I have a little craft room and a sewing room. (My kids are grown and gone.) My husband's uncle, in his 70's, died several months ago. He was single, no kids, owned the entire building, and was a hoarder. Everything is dirty from nicotine. Anyway, they are tired of cleaning up and sorting thru, and they want the stuff GONE! None of them like vintage. My husband has brought some real treasures home for me. We went again today, with a friend who wanted to look at the furniture, and I had time to really poke around. They are going to chuck it all! I found a few really special vintage things! I am excited to add them to my decor. I love your sewing cabinet drawers, that looks so cool!!
I'm sorry for your loss but think it's absolutely wonderful that you were able to save some fun and unique treasures. I'm sure they'll make wonderful additions to your home. Thank you and happy 2024!
Oh my goodness me! A REAL craftroom! This is my idea of heaven. All those old wooden drawers with their multitude of plain and fancy handles, and the soft black cupboards and shelves and cubby holes, or whatever they are called, where they live. I just love how everything is built to fit things. You are an absolute marvel! And can you come live with me for a year while you make mine? I think my craft room is going to have to be built to fit it. As I'm in a very old house ranging from nearly 400 years old to Victorian, and my craft room is in the oldest end of the house... Or will be when it's done. At the moment it's empty apart from a wallpaper table and the steamer I've been using to remove paper and paint from the walls. I do have SOME old things but nothing like what you have.
Your room is going to be spectacular when it's done! I've been advised to watch the cumulative weight that wooden shelves on walls and floors can have on older structures, so please be aware and careful with that. Bless you, thank you and happy creating!
Thank you Cori, I am very aware of the weight factor, since we recently discovered that an old beam had split 3/4 of the way down and as it had been encased in oak cladding we hadn't realised it was about a 1/4 as thick a beam as we had thought it was. Which explained a lot about bending walls, huge cracks in walls, and doors that no longer fitted their frames or closed properly. Thankfully we were able to get some experts in, so we now have a HUGE proper oak beam of the correct size, metal bars in the exterior walls, and a floor above the beam that is a) level and b) no longer bounces up and down like a trampoline! As well as doors that fit and even open and close once more! Woohooo! I told the builders (and structural engineer) just what we intended to use the room for. So all's well.
I'm so thrilled to see a craft room that isn't all prefabricated white furniture! My room has my grandmother's antique table and my dad's huge antique desk in it. I love your space! Hope you get healed up soon!
Yes, it is so refreshing to see something different. I've been looking all over to find someone with a vintage rustic looking craft room. She did a great job!
Just came across your channel and the first video I watched was your craft room…LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! Bing watching your videos now, appreciate how detailed you are! New subscriber!
@@faodail3913 I'm in upstate NY, USA, I go to auctions and sometimes there's a whole sewing machine cabinet, never just the drawers. eBay is where you'd get them but "I haven't looked in a long time. It's a shame about the cabinets though, I'm assuming thrown out. I've been to NZ. Was my lifelong dream. Lovely, from the tropical n. beaches to the glaciers and fiords in the south.
I am in ❤! I also have mostly thrift and vintage items...because they bring me joy. I struggled to organize my room, based off most crafters videos. Thank you for sharing your unique space and extraordinarily original design ideas. It's a beautiful room. 😍
Hi Cori! I know this is over a year old, but I simply adore your vintage library card catalog! 💕I was looking for one, and they're selling for almost thousands of dollars. You have a precious gem, and your room and builds are all so beautiful. 😊
I absolutely love this! I love vintage and antique items. My dishes are old Fiesta-ware, Poppy Hill “Happy Trails”, and Fransiscan Ware “Desert Rose”. My craft room is a mish mash of different shelving, pre-fab cubes, small plastic bins and glass jars, mostly. 😊
I love your new space. I especially love seeing spaces that are not 100% Ikea as I think it allows us to see spaces that have a bit of personality. I have been working on my new craft space for the last couple of months and it is finally finished. So fun to see someone else with a vintage style craft space. Mine is more of a vintage flea market style with shabby chic overtones.
Thank you and your new space sounds delightful! The antique sewing drawers and the vintage metal pieces I had set the tone for my room, but I love hearing about your inspiration and what helped you make your room sing to and for you 💕
I can’t believe that we have in common the collection of antique spools, old machine drawers, and metal works. Always love your crafty bits, and now I can be jealous of you organization. I am no where close to being organized.
Cori - First let me say, I had no idea you were going through all of this until I saw your video short recently. How did I miss this? Girl, you are a wonder! How you manage to do all you do is mind boggling! I absolutely LOVE your craft space. I have many of the same vintage bins for organizing that you have; enamel trays. vintage metal drawers and old metal boxes. Your style is right up my alley! You have me looking around at my space to see how I can incorporate some of your clever storage ideas. I love your "Creating with Scraps" sign! How clever is that!? Honestly, you need to submit your space to "Where Women Create" magazine. This room should be a feature! Sorry for the long response. I hope your recovery is speedy! Take good care of yourself. ❤
Hello Paula, it's good to "see" you! The new craft room is coming along and I think it's going to work well for me. Hopefully very soon! I'd love to see your antique and vintage treasures and how you use them. Pictures? Video? I'd love to see! Take care, Paula and happy creating!
OMG Cori, whenever you are much better and have time, kindly do a slower and more in depth video of all your vintage/antique items please. Genuine vintage/antique items are THE source of my inspiration for creating :) Thanks for sharing your new space
Thank you. There are a whole lot of vintage and antique pieces in this room, and almost all of them have a function, in addition to just making me happy. I do so love inspiring old items ❤
I love your room. Especially your lace storage. I have a vintage thread cabinet my great grandfather made in the mid 1800’s. So I love all your thread drawers. I never see them when thrifting but would love to find and pick some up. I treasure the cabinet I have and still have thread spools in it that were my grandmother’s. Love all your vintage finds.
Thank you! I've had good luck finding them at antique malls and at vintage auctions in the midwest. What a cool treasure you have in your thread storage cabinet ❤️
I absolutely adore your new craft room Cori, so much vintage scrumminess. I can't believe you did all this while going through so much injury and pain, you are truly an amazing woman. So nice to see Hairy Coo and Floof 🥰
Hairy Coo and Floof miss you and Scotland, but they are staying here to keep me company 😊 Thank you Gaye, I appreciate the kind comments and I hope you gained an idea or two if your craft space is in need of some updates.
Cori, I am just finding out about your injuries! I hope you have a speedy recovery. Thank you for sharing your space with us and tips with us. I will be looking for the tips, tricks and hacks video.
Thank you so much for sharing your craft space and how you created it. This so captured my heart because it's vintage and unique. Your system works with my style and need to organize while using old, vintage, and repurposed items. My hubby surprised me with my own crafting shed. We're in the process of finishing the interior. It's going to house my 1800s great wheel, his 1908 singer treadle boot shaft sewing machine (he tore it down & rebuilt it) and all of my spinning, weaving, sewing, beading, jewelry, paper, and recycling crafts. Again, thank you so much for your inspiration and generosity.
How wonderful! That sounds like a truly incredible, inspiration-filled crafting space. I hope the build goes well and that your new creative home inspires you endlessly ❤️
So sorry to hear about your injuries. Wishing you a full and complete recovery! Despite your injuries, you've created such a thoughtful, organized and inviting haven for creativity. It's a feast for the eyes, and must bring you great joy. Cheers to you from NE Florida.
Thank you Brenda and yes, I am getting better each day. My creative space does make me happy, and my husband too as now I don't have to search for more storage treasures 😊 Best wishes to you in beautiful NE Florida!

I love your craft room! The idea of using old roasting pans for storage is genius!! I love all things wooden, drawers, little shelves or whatnot, Love it! ❤ Hope you feel better soon.
I am in awe of you! Your building skills, your collection of vintage odd and ends repurposed and how creatively you used them! Loved the tour! Sending healing thoughts and much love toward your speedy and complete recovery!
Thank you, Di. Needs must. UA-cam was hugely helpful when I wanted to learn to build things and I love learning from others. Old things, often used in new or different ways, just make me happy 😊
Hi. I love your videos and your new creative space! I am so sorry that people think creativity started with UA-cam... It did not! People have been creative forever, and for many years before social media! For example rolled up paper beads. When I was in about 2nd grade(over 40 years ago), a little girl at the school I was bused to had a necklace her "grandmother" made for her from magazine rolled up beads!. Bottom line, we learn, we make, we move on. You keep doing what you do! I know your intentions are good! I hope you are now on the mend! Thank you all you do (BTW I love my glue caddy)!
Cori, since you say you read all your comments, I thought it might be fun for you to hear... before I ever knew you I was a thrift shop collecter and I am in AWE of your assortment. I have the 'starter' set of what you have. I have 10 spools, 1 sewing drawer, 1 old wooden desk 'in box' tray I converted to a wall shelf, a 1930's desk drawer turned into a shelf, 5 old wooden tool box inserts that i have as shelving cubbies., a few old cigar boxes that I (cut off the lid, trimmed them down and inserted into the bottom of the cigar box so their beautiful art shows as I attached them to the wall and use as shelf for short washi, etc, .. and a few antique tables in my craft room. One beautiful arched window to let all the AZ sunshine in and an eclectic variety of gray/sage/pine/white tables. my hubby made me a couple of them. what a joy our rooms bring to us! You have taught me so much, hubby made me a paper press and I bought a sewing machine just because you made it all so beautiful! YOU have been a life line and though i have been ill for awhile, I am doing better and YOU are going to be all better soon, too!! You are a lifeline and a joy to us all and sending you all good vibes from the universe. : ) Teresa in AZ
Very creative and efficient space! Really inspiring video. I particularly love the drawers from old sewing machines and dressers; and the Big Shot on the rolling cart - brilliant!! Thank you so much for sharing your creative world. 🙏🏽💙😎 May your healing progress quickly.💜🙌🏽🕉
Oh Cori, you poor Dear!!! You have been through the ringer!!! Buy, when adversity arises, you find positivity! Your craftroom looks incredibly organized and neat!!! You asked for suggestions for lights. I have 2 desk Ott Lights and 1 floor Ott Light. They work great for me. Pricey, but they are items that were important to me. I haven't seen any at Goodwill or on tables at craft fairs where people are selling them. Thank you as always for your wonderful ideas!!! Get well soon!!!
Thank you Pat. I caved the other day (trying to be good and careful while I'm off work!) and bought an OTT light. I just need more light in that area. So, thank you for the kind wishes and the suggestion ❤
Cori, I’m a newbie on your channel, but within a few minutes of this video, I realized you are an exceptional individual. So sorry you have have endured so much pain. It is amazing that you are dealing with it and handling the inherent set-backs. Your craft space is so beautiful, organized and practical. Thanks 🙏 for sharing. Best wishes for a complete recovery.
SERENDIPITOUSLY... Yes, indeed to say it best.... It's all out there... Nothing is new or original anymore... Just bedda & a benefit to all that are receptive in receiving the messages... Creativity @ its best... 🤙🎶🌹... 🥳🎨🎉💃💯💡📌
The storage unit you are referring to is called an Appliance Garage, it usually comes with a tambour door to hide Mixer ect! I love that you like black too! I refurbish dressers ect and like to paint my pieces black too! It just seems to make it look more cohesive! I really liked your apothecary unit! Thanx for sharing☆ Teresa☆
OMGOODNESS your space is so very inviting. I'm afraid I'd I had a space like this no one would ever see me. Your craft room organization is just and style is just as Amazing as your crafting. TSMFS I'm hoping you'll be crafting again soon. ❤🥰xx
Thank you, Michele. Probably it is good that I'm not yet retired (7 or so years to go!) or you're right, I'd rarely leave this space. It works well for me 😊
Fabulous space. I really like that you are using things that you have collected over time where I am coming from also. I've watched a bunch of videos on this since yours and you beat everyone out. You aren't buying a "kitchen" or a whole bunch of new stuff that is just outside of what most of us can afford
Thank you Patti. I'm all about recycling and repurposing. There is a whole lot of useable stuff already on our planet! Plus, the challenge of making it work as you'd like or need is a lot of fun.
I feel your pain Cori…I fractured my knee in 5 places and split my tibia bone from top to bottom and needed surgery to put in plates and screws to repair the damage. My craft room is upstairs and I am unable to craft as well. Hope you recover quickly so you can get back to crafting! I love your new craft room.
Oh man. I need to remember this when I whine and complain about my minor injury. I'm so sorry you have had to endure that and I wish you the very best, fastest and most complete recovery possible.
I was wondering why I hadn’t seen any videos pop up from you, but now understand & I’m so sorry. So glad you are doing much better & I absolutely LOVE your new craft room...You’ve done an AMAZING job on it!!! Take care, 🎀 Lily 🎀
You are the most inspired Artist in my world . Your ideas are fabulous and beutiful. Your ideas for Junk Journals or your Creative Studio , l Love it All . Its Classic and Look great . The idea to use knitting needles like you do , is so awsome . Thank you , and l am so sad for your fall, Hope you soon are back on life ❤️❤️❤️
Joe Montana distracts me too.🤩💖 I love your space! Great tips for organization. My space is in my bedroom. I'm shooting for the dark, vintage vibe myself...with a touch of 1920's Asian themed accents & color.😁 I have stuff spread all over. I definitely need to get organized & put "like with like". Tyfs!💗 So sorry to hear about all of your "mishaps". Much love and many blessings for a speedy recovery.💜💜💜
Thus is the absolute best craft room organization video I've ever seen...& I've watched a ton! Thanks for sharing your space, philosophy & Teaching so well!
LOVE YOUR CRAFT SPACE 💜 your craft space is so unique to you. I hate the plain white walls acrylic storage trend my craft room is pink and purple with upcycled furniture. I also have 3 guinea pigs in between my desk and the Tv who watch me and fall asleep whilst I craft away, it's very much my happy space 😊
INSPIRATIONAL CYCLES are a universal phenomenon and even apply to Science, Medicine, Mathematics, Inventions, etc. The Arts and Crafts as well as Art Neuveau eras are perfect global examples and we didn't have the internet
New subbie here, I've searched endlessly for 'craft room organising'. Yours is one that speaks on so many levels, Thank you😃 Now to go through your other vids to see what you make😊
I love you room. It’s what I really wanted but went with Ikea cubes. I have a bunch of antique boxes and such to keep bits and bobs in. I also picked up a bunch of crystal dishes to put fun sparkles things in. My Mom gave me a box of prisms from my childhood home . Grew up in a 1885 Victorian.
I so enjoy ALL your videos, sorry for all that's happened to you but glad your healing & looking forward to more of your videos on a regular basis. Take care & know that you are in our prayers
Thank you for your tour! I love antiques and you have made a beautiful use of your collection. I have lots of knitting needles stored away. I am getting them out. I wish you a speedy recovery from your mishaps. Take care.
My name is Donna. Love it that you love Joe Montana. He is my favorite QB . We share the same Birthday. Love the craft room tour. I also love to work with power tools
Hi Donna! We are practically twins and I love that! Truth: whenever there is a dress-like-it's-the-80's event I wear my #16 jersey and jeans and Nikes. Please, when you have a chance, shoot me an email with your information. I'd love to send a card to you 💕
Wow Wow love your sewing machine drawers just so calming to me you have so much beautiful items you have done an incredible amazing job building your Craft room.❤😊
So sorry about your injuries! I had a seized up left hand with multiple injuries last year, which took almost the whole year to heal up...then in the 12th month, I got a trigger finger on my right hand because I was wringing rags, cleaning out kitchen drawers, favoring my left hand!!! Lol! Now healing my right hand. Hope you heal up soon! Your room is amazing! First time seeing your youtube channel. I'm subscribing! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Shelly! Thank you and welcome. I’m sorry about both your hands! I hope the latest injury heals quickly and completely and that you can soon return to creating ❤
Oh wow, what an inspiration!!! I just absolutely love this space you've created, and it's exactly the type of look I would like in my own studio. I can see that I'm going to need a lot more sewing machine drawers! ☺. I have the start of a collection - maybe 8 of them, but variety that you have is next level!! Thank you so much for sharing your room and your ideas. The knitting needles in the wooden frames are fantastic, and I love the little wire baskets you mounted on the walls to put decorated tags in. It looks so pretty!
Thank you very much for your kind comments. I'm pleased with the look and function of the room and it always makes me happy to spend time in here, which is the ultimate goal. Best wishes and happy creating to you!
@@CoriDahmen Do you happen to know where you got those 3 wire baskets that you have tags in on the wall? I've been looking for similar ones but haven't had any luck.
God bless you for your strength and perseverance through challenge after challenge after challenge. You’re a TRUE inspiration!! Experiencing 14 surgeries and procedures since 2015, all very painful, brought about feelings of hopelessness. It seemed I’d never feel good again. I’m here to say, though it certainly doesn’t feel as such right now, you will feel good again. You will come through this. That “other side” DOES exist. Please, take care of you during this journey. It’s a tough one. It’s ok to lay down a bit when you need to do so. Hugs, hugs, and more hugs!
I believe you have inspired me on a way to make my work area lovely and orderly. Mine is organized but a hodgepodge. Our enclosed porch has lovely cedar walls that I did not want to damage and I wanted a lighter color. I am going to show your video to my husband in hopes he will build something similar for me. Wish me luck. Thank you for sharing so we can reconsider and modify our work areas.
@@CoriDahmen My husband says he can do it. It will turn an eyesore for him into a lovely area that is cohesive to the rest of our home. Thank you so very much!
Oh my great room, I even see a drawer my mother broke and never got it fixed from her Singer machine. I am 70 and still have it. Just found your channel and subbed and liked. Hope you heal up soon and enjoy your crafts. Thanks for sharing.
I have been ill myself so didn't realize you had been hurt....I do hope your healing progresses fast and easily. Being unable to craft is really hard so I feel for you. Please take care of yourself and get better!
I love your craft space. I love vintage too. But never thought of using old card drawers & treadle machine drawers for storeage. And vintage baking pans. I could watch this over several time & see something new. And to be able to create your own shelving is amazing. I designed a piece that hung on the wall when I first started scrapbooking. A friend built it but forgot to add for inside measures. Just had to come up with an alternate way to store things in it.
True ingenuity, right there. Isn't that the way with crafters.... we take what we have or have been gifted and we make do!~ Thank you for your kindness and I'm happy to hear some of the shared ideas work for you.
Cori I am so sorry about your injuries, I do hope you heal quickly and that you are able to get back to doing what you love. You are such a talented artist; it is certainly reflected in your space. Thank you for sharing your space, it is truly inspirational. I Just reorganized my space recently, which I do believe is a constant endeavor. And your tour has given me so many ideas. Get well soon my dear, so you can enjoy all your hard work. Carla aka Pete
Your kind response and good wishes warmed my heart and made me smile. Thank you Pete. I’m happy to hear you gained some craft space ideas that might work for you 😊
This is an amazing Craft room, and the tour was well done. It contains a wealth of information and tips, plus lovely eye candy with the use of antique pieces. Sorry to hear of your condition, I hope you are on the mend. Be good to yourself❣️
Thank you! This video was so fun to see and it gave me new ideas for my redo in my craft room. I just found your channel today ! I hope your healing goes very quickly ❤ I’m sure you will be good as new!Or even better ! Blessings from Florida ❤
Thank you Margreth! I would imagine you have some different and fun storage items in the Netherlands, as well as many that are similar. I appreciate your kind comment and I hope the reminder that we all inspire each other is well received by the viewers. Bless you and take care!
Just watched. Twice. Made my husband watch. Drooled over your antique drawer collection. Then regretted selling my spools when we moved. Told a friend to watch. Told another friend. I may watch again. Thank you for the inspiration every time I turn your channel on. Also, Spring is coming and you’ll be right as rain. It just takes time and nothing will hold you down. ❤
@@CoriDahmen I did see her! I think she fits right in and am so glad you like her. Your space is wonderful and it’s the special little things surrounding us that make us feel good inside and out. Keep improving, you’re in my thoughts and prayers. P.S. I’m a Hufflepuff, btw. 😁
I also love these containers. You inspire me to use mine in different ways. Like your craft room. Hope you continue to heal so you'll be able to create soon. My room is a mess right now, so with your inspiration shall be changing things up.
You are such an inspiration, I can’t began to express how dazzling your projects are… You are like a big world of who I want to be someday.. so much wonderful inside you even your boo-boos. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of beauty for us paper crafters. Please heal because you have more to accomplish for us all to see. Sincerely, Lucille T.
This craft room looks like a work of art and itself probably one of the most beautiful places to create that I have come across. I absolutely love everything you did thank you so much for sharing.
Cori, I am so sorry about all your injuries. I’ve missed you and truly love your new craft room … it’s amazing. Love all the vintage. Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to more of your wonderful creations. ❤️
Oh, my goodness, dear friend, you have been in the wars! Thank you for appearing even while you’re still in the healing process. It’s great to hear from you again! 🥰 Awesome creating in your design and workmanship for your wonderful crafting space! Wow! I love your organised style for creating. It suits the way my brain wants to work. Now, if you don’t want grey and gloomy, you should be visiting us here, today, as it’s beautiful clear blue skies and heading for a scorcher of 38C. Luckily, we don’t have too many days this hot, however, there’s usually a couple through the summer. 🥵 Take care and best wishes for fast healing! 😀💞
Hello Keryn adn yes, I would very much love to come and visit you and Sue one day, to meet you and see a bit of your beautiful country. It's working on becoming fall there, right? My favorite time of year. Enjoy and bless you!
Cori!! Omgosh!! I’m so sorry to hear of your traumatic experiences!! I’m so glad the saw was off!!😮 and a piano?!! Ugh!! 😢I wish you well and a fast recovery! I’m sure you’re ready to get back into it! Have hubby wrap you up in bubble wrap so you can fulfill your creative needs for yourself. Feel better soon! and… your space is AMAZING 🎉
I stumbled across this video as a You Tube recommendation, and wow I’m happy I did!! I’ve always been interested in/seeking out/learning more about how others organize their rooms. I used to do a LOT of card making and scrapbooking; however these days I’m more into Diamond Painting, Counted Cross Stitch, and the 8odd piece of jewelry or sewing project. I have held on to a bit of my “old” supplies: some stamps, solid card stock, inks. My problem is finding ways to integrate and store everything so that I can easily find supplies or half-finished projects that makes sense to me. I had thought about just getting all new furniture from one source so everything would not look so mashed-up, and knew that was NOT in my budget. So my work around is very similar to what you have done, except I went with white. I also have to have clear acrylic containers or glass containers. I’m absolutely a “If I don’t see it I won’t use it or forget I have it and go buy more” type of person. Wish me luck; I’ve had my crafting stuff in storage for the last 4 years before moving everything into a 1000 square foot apartment in Edmonds, WA. It’s forcing me to go through and aggressively purge stuff I’ll never use. I appreciated your honest review after your tour: 3 things that worked, 3 things that aren’t working, and 3 tips or tricks … maybe consolidating your ephemera stations down to a single container for half-finished pieces, a single container for finished pieces and a single container with parts and pieces for new ephemera to be made. Keeping all three bowls in the same area will keep your like with like and you won’t be traveling back and forth so much. What part of WA state do you live in? I’m about 45 minutes north of downtown Seattle. Always searching for more people to join our groups!! Get better soon, and look foreword to seeing more videos soon!!
Hello and thank you Jackie, for the great "what's not working" possible solutions and for sharing how you're re-working your space. I am in Olympia, and I teach in Tacoma. We are practically neighbors! You know, I have several counted cross stitch kits that my mom has determined she will not use. If you're interested I'm happy to share them with you. And perhaps, like me, Junk Journaling might be a fun way for you to use some of your loved cardmaking and scrapbooking supplies ❤️
@@CoriDahmen I would be honored to find a new home for any cross stitch supplies that are looking for a new home! Someday I may try junk journaling. For now I’m buried too deep in many rabbit holes, lol, can’t do another!
I love your room. I am always looking for vintage things to repurpose for storage. I'm so sorry for your unfortunate accidents. Hope you're on the mend. Hugs to you.
Absolutely LOVE your space!! I’m a vintage junkie so love all the eclectic pieces but they go together and look so cohesive!! Hope you heal quickly, am anxious to see what you will work on next.
Cori…. We NEED to be friends!!! We love all the same things! I like how you have integrated the vintage pieces into functional storage. Also love how you have stations for each type of supply. I’m inspired! Just amazing!
Thank you MelissaSue. I spent a whole lot of time thinking about what would or might work to make productio smooth and easy. I'm happy to hear that it's given you ideas ❤
@@CoriDahmen I work a lot on organizing my craft room, too. I love DIY storage. Last week I made a bookcase from cardboard. I often joke that I enjoy organizing my supplies more than actually using them. Lol Aside from DIY storage, I mostly make journals. My main goal for storage is to have everything within "one reach." I've learned that I dislike the work of getting to stuff from stacks of boxes, and forgetting what is buried . The "one reach" rule also makes cleaning up and putting things away so much easier. It's been a total game changer. Looking forward to the series you discussed (teased, lol).

No music, you talking the whole time, and calm filming of all your beautiful things. What a treat, thank you so much! 🙂
Thank you, Eva. I've tried other "styles" of teaching, but what you stated is just me 😊
Its refreshing to see a non white room. Beautiful.
Thank you very much. White just didn't work well for me with the old pieces in here 😊
I LOVE your eye for vintage, and your room. I have a little craft room and a sewing room. (My kids are grown and gone.) My husband's uncle, in his 70's, died several months ago. He was single, no kids, owned the entire building, and was a hoarder. Everything is dirty from nicotine. Anyway, they are tired of cleaning up and sorting thru, and they want the stuff GONE! None of them like vintage. My husband has brought some real treasures home for me. We went again today, with a friend who wanted to look at the furniture, and I had time to really poke around. They are going to chuck it all! I found a few really special vintage things! I am excited to add them to my decor. I love your sewing cabinet drawers, that looks so cool!!
I'm sorry for your loss but think it's absolutely wonderful that you were able to save some fun and unique treasures. I'm sure they'll make wonderful additions to your home. Thank you and happy 2024!
@@CoriDahmen Yes, we will miss him. He was a wonderful sweet man. Happy New Year to you as well.
Oh my goodness me! A REAL craftroom! This is my idea of heaven. All those old wooden drawers with their multitude of plain and fancy handles, and the soft black cupboards and shelves and cubby holes, or whatever they are called, where they live. I just love how everything is built to fit things. You are an absolute marvel! And can you come live with me for a year while you make mine?
I think my craft room is going to have to be built to fit it. As I'm in a very old house ranging from nearly 400 years old to Victorian, and my craft room is in the oldest end of the house... Or will be when it's done. At the moment it's empty apart from a wallpaper table and the steamer I've been using to remove paper and paint from the walls. I do have SOME old things but nothing like what you have.
Your room is going to be spectacular when it's done! I've been advised to watch the cumulative weight that wooden shelves on walls and floors can have on older structures, so please be aware and careful with that. Bless you, thank you and happy creating!
Thank you Cori, I am very aware of the weight factor, since we recently discovered that an old beam had split 3/4 of the way down and as it had been encased in oak cladding we hadn't realised it was about a 1/4 as thick a beam as we had thought it was.
Which explained a lot about bending walls, huge cracks in walls, and doors that no longer fitted their frames or closed properly.
Thankfully we were able to get some experts in, so we now have a HUGE proper oak beam of the correct size, metal bars in the exterior walls, and a floor above the beam that is a) level and b) no longer bounces up and down like a trampoline! As well as doors that fit and even open and close once more! Woohooo!
I told the builders (and structural engineer) just what we intended to use the room for. So all's well.
Total craft room envy here. What a well-organized, yet gorgeous space for creating. Love everything about it.
I'm so thrilled to see a craft room that isn't all prefabricated white furniture! My room has my grandmother's antique table and my dad's huge antique desk in it. I love your space! Hope you get healed up soon!
Thank you and how very cool to be able to use something of your grandmother’s in your craft space ❤
Yes, it is so refreshing to see something different. I've been looking all over to find someone with a vintage rustic looking craft room. She did a great job!
I too have been wondering where are the craft/art rooms with vintage furniture. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Just came across your channel and the first video I watched was your craft room…LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! Bing watching your videos now, appreciate how detailed you are! New subscriber!
That wall with all the sewing machine drawers is just a work of art in itself! Just beautiful 😍
Thank you Shelly ♥️
I was going to mention them as well. Where on earth did you find all these drawers and now I know why I cant find any...lol.
@@eveny119I was thinking the same thing and I'm in New Zealand!!! They cost the earth here...if you can find them.
Thank you for moving the camera slowly!!! So good, everyone else moves way too fast. Some great ideas here, thank you.
@@faodail3913 I'm in upstate NY, USA, I go to auctions and sometimes there's a whole sewing machine cabinet, never just the drawers. eBay is where you'd get them but "I haven't looked in a long time. It's a shame about the cabinets though, I'm assuming thrown out.
I've been to NZ. Was my lifelong dream. Lovely, from the tropical n. beaches to the glaciers and fiords in the south.
I am in ❤! I also have mostly thrift and vintage items...because they bring me joy. I struggled to organize my room, based off most crafters videos. Thank you for sharing your unique space and extraordinarily original design ideas. It's a beautiful room. 😍
Thank you very much. The room works well for me, my needs and my style preferences 😊
Hi Cori! I know this is over a year old, but I simply adore your vintage library card catalog! 💕I was looking for one, and they're selling for almost thousands of dollars. You have a precious gem, and your room and builds are all so beautiful. 😊
"Just because they make me happy “ THANKS SO MUCH FOR SO STRONG REASON. It is so complicated to feed the simple needs. Thanks!
Love that comment. Thank you ❤
I absolutely love this! I love vintage and antique items. My dishes are old Fiesta-ware, Poppy Hill “Happy Trails”, and Fransiscan Ware “Desert Rose”. My craft room is a mish mash of different shelving, pre-fab cubes, small plastic bins and glass jars, mostly. 😊
I'm a HUGE fan of people doing what works for them, and it sounds as if your space is perfect for you! Bless you and happy creating!
I love your new space. I especially love seeing spaces that are not 100% Ikea as I think it allows us to see spaces that have a bit of personality. I have been working on my new craft space for the last couple of months and it is finally finished. So fun to see someone else with a vintage style craft space. Mine is more of a vintage flea market style with shabby chic overtones.
Thank you and your new space sounds delightful! The antique sewing drawers and the vintage metal pieces I had set the tone for my room, but I love hearing about your inspiration and what helped you make your room sing to and for you 💕
I can’t believe that we have in common the collection of antique spools, old machine drawers, and metal works. Always love your crafty bits, and now I can be jealous of you organization. I am no where close to being organized.
Organization is not for everyone. Bless you and happy 2025!
your room is so wonderful....I love all the old sewing machine drawers and things!!!
It is definitely my happy place. Thank you!
Cori - First let me say, I had no idea you were going through all of this until I saw your video short recently. How did I miss this? Girl, you are a wonder! How you manage to do all you do is mind boggling! I absolutely LOVE your craft space. I have many of the same vintage bins for organizing that you have; enamel trays. vintage metal drawers and old metal boxes. Your style is right up my alley! You have me looking around at my space to see how I can incorporate some of your clever storage ideas. I love your "Creating with Scraps" sign! How clever is that!? Honestly, you need to submit your space to "Where Women Create" magazine. This room should be a feature! Sorry for the long response. I hope your recovery is speedy! Take good care of yourself. ❤
Hello Paula, it's good to "see" you! The new craft room is coming along and I think it's going to work well for me. Hopefully very soon! I'd love to see your antique and vintage treasures and how you use them. Pictures? Video? I'd love to see! Take care, Paula and happy creating!
Ditto, simply amazing work space!
OMG Cori, whenever you are much better and have time, kindly do a slower and more in depth video of all your vintage/antique items please. Genuine vintage/antique items are THE source of my inspiration for creating :) Thanks for sharing your new space
Thank you. There are a whole lot of vintage and antique pieces in this room, and almost all of them have a function, in addition to just making me happy. I do so love inspiring old items ❤
This is definitely my style of storage. Love repurposed vintage items
Thank you Melinda. I love seeing the old things take on new life ❤
@@CoriDahmen bit like myself. I’m and old thing that needs to take on new life Hahahaha. (55 is considered old apparently these days).
I love every bit of this! Finding Vintage items to make part of my everyday makes me happy!
Me too Amy. I love wondering where these things lived before they came to be with me.
I love your room. Especially your lace storage. I have a vintage thread cabinet my great grandfather made in the mid 1800’s. So I love all your thread drawers. I never see them when thrifting but would love to find and pick some up. I treasure the cabinet I have and still have thread spools in it that were my grandmother’s. Love all your vintage finds.
Thank you! I've had good luck finding them at antique malls and at vintage auctions in the midwest. What a cool treasure you have in your thread storage cabinet ❤️
I absolutely adore your new craft room Cori, so much vintage scrumminess. I can't believe you did all this while going through so much injury and pain, you are truly an amazing woman. So nice to see Hairy Coo and Floof 🥰
Hairy Coo and Floof miss you and Scotland, but they are staying here to keep me company 😊 Thank you Gaye, I appreciate the kind comments and I hope you gained an idea or two if your craft space is in need of some updates.
Cori, I am just finding out about your injuries! I hope you have a speedy recovery. Thank you for sharing your space with us and tips with us. I will be looking for the tips, tricks and hacks video.
@@tatteredpaperandlace2905 thank you. I hope it gives folks who are struggling some ideas and direction. Your space is lovely and functional already 😊
Glad to know someone is Repurposing items as well, well done , keep it up. Blessings
Cori, I absolutely love your craft room and the tip using the knitting needle for spacing is brilliant!
Thank you 😊💕
The most beautiful craft room I’ve ever seen. You did a beautiful job and have many interesting things on display. I love it!
Thank you, Carol. It really is my happy place and I'm grateful that I get to enjoy it 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your craft space and how you created it. This so captured my heart because it's vintage and unique. Your system works with my style and need to organize while using old, vintage, and repurposed items.
My hubby surprised me with my own crafting shed. We're in the process of finishing the interior. It's going to house my 1800s great wheel, his 1908 singer treadle boot shaft sewing machine (he tore it down & rebuilt it) and all of my spinning, weaving, sewing, beading, jewelry, paper, and recycling crafts.
Again, thank you so much for your inspiration and generosity.
How wonderful! That sounds like a truly incredible, inspiration-filled crafting space. I hope the build goes well and that your new creative home inspires you endlessly ❤️
So sorry to hear about your injuries. Wishing you a full and complete recovery! Despite your injuries, you've created such a thoughtful, organized and inviting haven for creativity. It's a feast for the eyes, and must bring you great joy. Cheers to you from NE Florida.
Thank you Brenda and yes, I am getting better each day. My creative space does make me happy, and my husband too as now I don't have to search for more storage treasures 😊 Best wishes to you in beautiful NE Florida!
Wow you are very gifted in woodworking! Way to go girl! I so love this. Well done ❤

I love your craft room! The idea of using old roasting pans for storage is genius!! I love all things wooden, drawers, little shelves or whatnot, Love it! ❤ Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you and I just love giving new ideas and twists and life to old things.
You’re welcome
I am in awe of you! Your building skills, your collection of vintage odd and ends repurposed and how creatively you used them! Loved the tour! Sending healing thoughts and much love toward your speedy and complete recovery!
Thank you, Di. Needs must. UA-cam was hugely helpful when I wanted to learn to build things and I love learning from others. Old things, often used in new or different ways, just make me happy 😊
Hi. I love your videos and your new creative space! I am so sorry that people think creativity started with UA-cam... It did not! People have been creative forever, and for many years before social media! For example rolled up paper beads. When I was in about 2nd grade(over 40 years ago), a little girl at the school I was bused to had a necklace her "grandmother" made for her from magazine rolled up beads!. Bottom line, we learn, we make, we move on. You keep doing what you do! I know your intentions are good!
I hope you are now on the mend! Thank you all you do (BTW I love my glue caddy)!
Thank you Richelle and that just made me smile. I remember making those in school too 😊
Cori, since you say you read all your comments, I thought it might be fun for you to hear... before I ever knew you I was a thrift shop collecter and I am in AWE of your assortment. I have the 'starter' set of what you have. I have 10 spools, 1 sewing drawer, 1 old wooden desk 'in box' tray I converted to a wall shelf, a 1930's desk drawer turned into a shelf, 5 old wooden tool box inserts that i have as shelving cubbies., a few old cigar boxes that I (cut off the lid, trimmed them down and inserted into the bottom of the cigar box so their beautiful art shows as I attached them to the wall and use as shelf for short washi, etc, .. and a few antique tables in my craft room. One beautiful arched window to let all the AZ sunshine in and an eclectic variety of gray/sage/pine/white tables. my hubby made me a couple of them. what a joy our rooms bring to us! You have taught me so much, hubby made me a paper press and I bought a sewing machine just because you made it all so beautiful! YOU have been a life line and though i have been ill for awhile, I am doing better and YOU are going to be all better soon, too!! You are a lifeline and a joy to us all and sending you all good vibes from the universe. : ) Teresa in AZ
Love this cozy room. Love the knitting needle jar display and upcycled uses!
Thank you ❤️
OMG!!!! BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN!
I know, it's a blue print for a georgous craft room. I'm jealous
Thanks for sharing.
Get well wishes
Thank you so much!
Very creative and efficient space! Really inspiring video. I particularly love the drawers from old sewing machines and dressers; and the Big Shot on the rolling cart - brilliant!! Thank you so much for sharing your creative world. 🙏🏽💙😎
May your healing progress quickly.💜🙌🏽🕉
Thank you for your kind comments and well wishes ❤
Oh Cori, you poor Dear!!! You have been through the ringer!!! Buy, when adversity arises, you find positivity! Your craftroom looks incredibly organized and neat!!! You asked for suggestions for lights. I have 2 desk Ott Lights and 1 floor Ott Light. They work great for me. Pricey, but they are items that were important to me. I haven't seen any at Goodwill or on tables at craft fairs where people are selling them. Thank you as always for your wonderful ideas!!! Get well soon!!!
Thank you Pat. I caved the other day (trying to be good and careful while I'm off work!) and bought an OTT light. I just need more light in that area. So, thank you for the kind wishes and the suggestion ❤
Cori, I’m a newbie on your channel, but within a few minutes of this video, I realized you are an exceptional individual. So sorry you have have endured so much pain. It is amazing that you are dealing with it and handling the inherent set-backs. Your craft space is so beautiful, organized and practical. Thanks 🙏 for sharing. Best wishes for a complete recovery.
Thank you Joan and welcome. Your kind message made me smile and warmed my heart ❤️
SERENDIPITOUSLY... Yes, indeed to say it best.... It's all out there... Nothing is new or original anymore... Just bedda & a benefit to all that are receptive in receiving the messages... Creativity @ its best... 🤙🎶🌹... 🥳🎨🎉💃💯💡📌
Completely agree ❤
I love your crafty space. I love vintage and baking. My she shed craft room is vintage shabby chic. Thanks for sharing your space with us. Hugs🤗🌸🤗🌸🤗
I’m a new subscriber 🎉
Thank you and welcome! We could be friends. I love vintage and eating baked goods 😊
The storage unit you are referring to is called an Appliance Garage, it usually comes with a tambour door to hide Mixer ect! I love that you like black too! I refurbish dressers ect and like to paint my pieces black too! It just seems to make it look more cohesive! I really liked your apothecary unit! Thanx for sharing☆ Teresa☆
Thank you Teresa! I also love refinishing furniture. It's just a time and space thing as to why I don't do it more often. Maybe when I retire...
I’d love to see in all those drawers. Thankyou. I do hope you continue to heal ❤❤❤
Thank you, I appreciate that ❤
I appreciate the slow camera movements so much. Many great ideas thanks.
You are so welcome!
OMGOODNESS your space is so very inviting. I'm afraid I'd I had a space like this no one would ever see me. Your craft room organization is just and style is just as Amazing as your crafting. TSMFS I'm hoping you'll be crafting again soon. ❤🥰xx
Thank you, Michele. Probably it is good that I'm not yet retired (7 or so years to go!) or you're right, I'd rarely leave this space. It works well for me 😊
Fabulous space. I really like that you are using things that you have collected over time where I am coming from also. I've watched a bunch of videos on this since yours and you beat everyone out. You aren't buying a "kitchen" or a whole bunch of new stuff that is just outside of what most of us can afford
Thank you Patti. I'm all about recycling and repurposing. There is a whole lot of useable stuff already on our planet! Plus, the challenge of making it work as you'd like or need is a lot of fun.
I feel your pain Cori…I fractured my knee in 5 places and split my tibia bone from top to bottom and needed surgery to put in plates and screws to repair the damage. My craft room is upstairs and I am unable to craft as well. Hope you recover quickly so you can get back to crafting! I love your new craft room.
I have not been up my stairs for months. So all my crafts have come down stairs.
Oh man. I need to remember this when I whine and complain about my minor injury. I'm so sorry you have had to endure that and I wish you the very best, fastest and most complete recovery possible.
@@CoriDahmen Just arthritis as I age.
I was wondering why I hadn’t seen any videos pop up from you, but now understand & I’m so sorry. So glad you are doing much better & I absolutely LOVE your new craft room...You’ve done an AMAZING job on it!!! Take care, 🎀 Lily 🎀
Thank you Lily ❤
You are the most inspired Artist in my world . Your ideas are fabulous and beutiful. Your ideas for Junk Journals or your Creative Studio , l Love it All . Its Classic and Look great . The idea to use knitting needles like you do , is so awsome . Thank you , and l am so sad for your fall, Hope you soon are back on life ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so very much. Your kind comments made me smile and yes, my leg is getting better 💕
Love your room , clever ideas and I love your creations . Can’t wait to watch your other videos. Your quite talented
Joe Montana distracts me too.🤩💖 I love your space! Great tips for organization. My space is in my bedroom. I'm shooting for the dark, vintage vibe myself...with a touch of 1920's Asian themed accents & color.😁 I have stuff spread all over. I definitely need to get organized & put "like with like". Tyfs!💗
So sorry to hear about all of your "mishaps". Much love and many blessings for a speedy recovery.💜💜💜
Thank you and best wishes as you make your creative space work for you ❤
So you're the one with all the vintage spools! Gorgeous craft space!
Lol! I didn’t realize I had that distinction 😊 Thank you Karen!
Thus is the absolute best craft room organization video I've ever seen...& I've watched a ton! Thanks for sharing your space, philosophy & Teaching so well!
Thank you. I've put a lot of thought into what works for me in a craft space, and I hope sharing this helps or encourages others ❤️
LOVE YOUR CRAFT SPACE 💜
your craft space is so unique to you.
I hate the plain white walls acrylic storage trend my craft room is pink and purple with upcycled furniture.
I also have 3 guinea pigs in between my desk and the Tv who watch me and fall asleep whilst I craft away, it's very much my happy space 😊
Love that you’ve made your space work for YOU! And really, that’s what it’s all about ♥️Guinea pigs are happy critters 😊
INSPIRATIONAL CYCLES are a universal phenomenon and even apply to Science, Medicine, Mathematics, Inventions, etc. The Arts and Crafts as well as Art Neuveau eras are perfect global examples and we didn't have the internet
Fantastic analogy!
New subbie here, I've searched endlessly for 'craft room organising'. Yours is one that speaks on so many levels, Thank you😃 Now to go through your other vids to see what you make😊
I love you room. It’s what I really wanted but went with Ikea cubes. I have a bunch of antique boxes and such to keep bits and bobs in. I also picked up a bunch of crystal dishes to put fun sparkles things in. My Mom gave me a box of prisms from my childhood home . Grew up in a 1885 Victorian.
So cool that you have those old treasures to love AND use. Thank you Sylvia!
I so enjoy ALL your videos, sorry for all that's happened to you but glad your healing & looking forward to more of your videos on a regular basis. Take care & know that you are in our prayers
Thank you very much Nikki, your wishes and prayers are deeply appreciated ❤
Thank you for your tour! I love antiques and you have made a beautiful use of your collection. I have lots of knitting needles stored away. I am getting them out. I wish you a speedy recovery from your mishaps. Take care.
You are so welcome and thank you for the kind comments. I love my knitting needles, though I can’t knit a single stitch 😊
My name is Donna. Love it that you love Joe Montana. He is my favorite QB . We share the same Birthday. Love the craft room tour. I also love to work with power tools
Hi Donna! We are practically twins and I love that! Truth: whenever there is a dress-like-it's-the-80's event I wear my #16 jersey and jeans and Nikes. Please, when you have a chance, shoot me an email with your information. I'd love to send a card to you 💕
So happy to hear your voice again! I hope you are healing well from ALL of the injuries 😅 You may need to invest in some full-body bubble wrap!
LOL! Believe me, I've considered that! As my legs heals I'm falling less, so that's a happy thing for me.
Wow Wow love your sewing machine drawers just so calming to me you have so much beautiful items you have done an incredible amazing job building your Craft room.❤😊
Thank you Eleanor ❤
So sorry about your injuries! I had a seized up left hand with multiple injuries last year, which took almost the whole year to heal up...then in the 12th month, I got a trigger finger on my right hand because I was wringing rags, cleaning out kitchen drawers, favoring my left hand!!! Lol! Now healing my right hand. Hope you heal up soon!
Your room is amazing! First time seeing your youtube channel. I'm subscribing! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Shelly! Thank you and welcome. I’m sorry about both your hands! I hope the latest injury heals quickly and completely and that you can soon return to creating ❤
Oh wow, what an inspiration!!! I just absolutely love this space you've created, and it's exactly the type of look I would like in my own studio. I can see that I'm going to need a lot more sewing machine drawers! ☺. I have the start of a collection - maybe 8 of them, but variety that you have is next level!! Thank you so much for sharing your room and your ideas. The knitting needles in the wooden frames are fantastic, and I love the little wire baskets you mounted on the walls to put decorated tags in. It looks so pretty!
Thank you very much for your kind comments. I'm pleased with the look and function of the room and it always makes me happy to spend time in here, which is the ultimate goal. Best wishes and happy creating to you!
@@CoriDahmen Do you happen to know where you got those 3 wire baskets that you have tags in on the wall? I've been looking for similar ones but haven't had any luck.
God bless you for your strength and perseverance through challenge after challenge after challenge. You’re a TRUE inspiration!! Experiencing 14 surgeries and procedures since 2015, all very painful, brought about feelings of hopelessness. It seemed I’d never feel good again. I’m here to say, though it certainly doesn’t feel as such right now, you will feel good again. You will come through this. That “other side” DOES exist. Please, take care of you during this journey. It’s a tough one. It’s ok to lay down a bit when you need to do so. Hugs, hugs, and more hugs!
Thank you for the hugs. I felt them across the miles. Bless you for what you’ve endured and how you’ve come through it all ❤
Gorgeous!
Thank you 😊
Your space is gorgeous and so many wonderful ideas and tips. Look forward to more!
Thank you so much! I hope an idea or two shared here will benefit you ❤
CORI. Absolutely in love with your craft room. That being said. I think you should seriously consider a bubble
LOL! Bubbles, bubble wrap and padded rooms have been mentioned 😁
I believe you have inspired me on a way to make my work area lovely and orderly. Mine is organized but a hodgepodge. Our enclosed porch has lovely cedar walls that I did not want to damage and I wanted a lighter color. I am going to show your video to my husband in hopes he will build something similar for me. Wish me luck. Thank you for sharing so we can reconsider and modify our work areas.
That’s exactly why I shared. I hope your idea transfers and that it works well for you ❤
@@CoriDahmen My husband says he can do it. It will turn an eyesore for him into a lovely area that is cohesive to the rest of our home. Thank you so very much!
Amazing vintage storage collection. Have fun in there!
Thank you, Donna. A few months later I still love this room and it works really well!
So sorry to learn of your injuries. Hope for better days ahead. I Love your work. ❤️
Thank you Nancy ❤
Oh my great room, I even see a drawer my mother broke and never got it fixed from her Singer machine. I am 70 and still have it. Just found your channel and subbed and liked. Hope you heal up soon and enjoy your crafts. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Gin and welcome. I wish I was a neighbor and could repair that special drawer for you ❤️
@@CoriDahmen Ahh that's sweet, I just turn it around and the back is now the front. Been that way for yrs.
I have been ill myself so didn't realize you had been hurt....I do hope your healing progresses fast and easily. Being unable to craft is really hard so I feel for you. Please take care of yourself and get better!
Thank you Kim and I’m sorry to hear you’ve been ill. I hope you’re much better now and back to creating ♥️
I love your craft space. I love vintage too. But never thought of using old card drawers & treadle machine drawers for storeage. And vintage baking pans. I could watch this over several time & see something new. And to be able to create your own shelving is amazing. I designed a piece that hung on the wall when I first started scrapbooking. A friend built it but forgot to add for inside measures. Just had to come up with an alternate way to store things in it.
True ingenuity, right there. Isn't that the way with crafters.... we take what we have or have been gifted and we make do!~ Thank you for your kindness and I'm happy to hear some of the shared ideas work for you.
Cori I am so sorry about your injuries, I do hope you heal quickly and that you are able to get back to doing what you love. You are such a talented artist; it is certainly reflected in your space. Thank you for sharing your space, it is truly inspirational. I Just reorganized my space recently, which I do believe is a constant endeavor. And your tour has given me so many ideas. Get well soon my dear, so you can enjoy all your hard work. Carla aka Pete
Your kind response and good wishes warmed my heart and made me smile. Thank you Pete. I’m happy to hear you gained some craft space ideas that might work for you 😊
I love all the sewing machine drawers for storage. Hope you are on the mend and better soon
Thank you Terrisue ❤
This is an amazing Craft room, and the tour was well done. It contains a wealth of information and tips, plus lovely eye candy with the use of antique pieces. Sorry to hear of your condition, I hope you are on the mend. Be good to yourself❣️
Thank you Kari-Anne, both for the kind comments and the well wishes ❤
Thank you! This video was so fun to see and it gave me new ideas for my redo in my craft room. I just found your channel today ! I hope your healing goes very quickly ❤ I’m sure you will be good as new!Or even better !
Blessings from Florida ❤
Thank you, Jennifer and welcome! I'm happy to hear that you got an idea or two that you can use in your own creative space 😊
Love love love your craft room Cori. and well said about inspiring each other. Please stay safe and get well soon!
Thank you Margreth! I would imagine you have some different and fun storage items in the Netherlands, as well as many that are similar. I appreciate your kind comment and I hope the reminder that we all inspire each other is well received by the viewers. Bless you and take care!
Just watched. Twice. Made my husband watch. Drooled over your antique drawer collection. Then regretted selling my spools when we moved. Told a friend to watch. Told another friend. I may watch again. Thank you for the inspiration every time I turn your channel on. Also, Spring is coming and you’ll be right as rain. It just takes time and nothing will hold you down. ❤
You are so very sweet Dawn. Did you see the baby raven on the front of the Ravenclaw shelf? I love it and I appreciate you and your kindness ❤
@@CoriDahmen I did see her! I think she fits right in and am so glad you like her. Your space is wonderful and it’s the special little things surrounding us that make us feel good inside and out. Keep improving, you’re in my thoughts and prayers. P.S. I’m a Hufflepuff, btw. 😁
@@dawnklein106 well, I appreciate her deeply and some of my favorite people are badgers ♥️ Thank you!
I also love these containers. You inspire me to use mine in different ways. Like your craft room. Hope you continue to heal so you'll be able to create soon. My room is a mess right now, so with your inspiration shall be changing things up.
Thank you Janet. I hope the cleaning and re-thinking is going well and that you;re happy with your results ❤️
You are such an inspiration, I can’t began to express how dazzling your projects are… You are like a big world of who I want to be someday.. so much wonderful inside you even your boo-boos. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of beauty for us paper crafters. Please heal because you have more to accomplish for us all to see.

What a sweet and thoughtful message. Thank you Lucille ❤️
This craft room looks like a work of art and itself probably one of the most beautiful places to create that I have come across. I absolutely love everything you did thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you, Misti. It is a smaller space than many, but it works well for me and it sure makes me happy to create in here 😊
This is the most beautiful craft room I have ever seen ❤

Oh, my goodness, dear friend, you have been in the wars! Thank you for appearing even while you’re still in the healing process. It’s great to hear from you again! 🥰 Awesome creating in your design and workmanship for your wonderful crafting space! Wow! I love your organised style for creating. It suits the way my brain wants to work. Now, if you don’t want grey and gloomy, you should be visiting us here, today, as it’s beautiful clear blue skies and heading for a scorcher of 38C. Luckily, we don’t have too many days this hot, however, there’s usually a couple through the summer. 🥵 Take care and best wishes for fast healing! 😀💞
Hello Keryn adn yes, I would very much love to come and visit you and Sue one day, to meet you and see a bit of your beautiful country. It's working on becoming fall there, right? My favorite time of year. Enjoy and bless you!
Cori!! Omgosh!! I’m so sorry to hear of your traumatic experiences!! I’m so glad the saw was off!!😮 and a piano?!! Ugh!! 😢I wish you well and a fast recovery! I’m sure you’re ready to get back into it! Have hubby wrap you up in bubble wrap so you can fulfill your creative needs for yourself. Feel better soon! and… your space is AMAZING 🎉
Thank you, both for the kind remarks and the well wishes. I appreciate both ❤️
@@CoriDahmen of course! Nothing like some traumatic experiences to knock you off your chair!! ( studio chair)
So glad to see you 🏡!!
I LOVE all the drawers on the shelves!!! Beautiful room. Thanks so much for showing, and may you heal swiftly. 💐
Thank you Teresa! I appreciate the kind words and wishes 😊
I stumbled across this video as a You Tube recommendation, and wow I’m happy I did!! I’ve always been interested in/seeking out/learning more about how others organize their rooms. I used to do a LOT of card making and scrapbooking; however these days I’m more into Diamond Painting, Counted Cross Stitch, and the 8odd piece of jewelry or sewing project. I have held on to a bit of my “old” supplies: some stamps, solid card stock, inks. My problem is finding ways to integrate and store everything so that I can easily find supplies or half-finished projects that makes sense to me. I had thought about just getting all new furniture from one source so everything would not look so mashed-up, and knew that was NOT in my budget. So my work around is very similar to what you have done, except I went with white. I also have to have clear acrylic containers or glass containers. I’m absolutely a “If I don’t see it I won’t use it or forget I have it and go buy more” type of person. Wish me luck; I’ve had my crafting stuff in storage for the last 4 years before moving everything into a 1000 square foot apartment in Edmonds, WA. It’s forcing me to go through and aggressively purge stuff I’ll never use. I appreciated your honest review after your tour: 3 things that worked, 3 things that aren’t working, and 3 tips or tricks … maybe consolidating your ephemera stations down to a single container for half-finished pieces, a single container for finished pieces and a single container with parts and pieces for new ephemera to be made. Keeping all three bowls in the same area will keep your like with like and you won’t be traveling back and forth so much. What part of WA state do you live in? I’m about 45 minutes north of downtown Seattle. Always searching for more people to join our groups!! Get better soon, and look foreword to seeing more videos soon!!
Hello and thank you Jackie, for the great "what's not working" possible solutions and for sharing how you're re-working your space. I am in Olympia, and I teach in Tacoma. We are practically neighbors! You know, I have several counted cross stitch kits that my mom has determined she will not use. If you're interested I'm happy to share them with you. And perhaps, like me, Junk Journaling might be a fun way for you to use some of your loved cardmaking and scrapbooking supplies ❤️
@@CoriDahmen I would be honored to find a new home for any cross stitch supplies that are looking for a new home! Someday I may try junk journaling. For now I’m buried too deep in many rabbit holes, lol, can’t do another!
@@jaxcreativeinspirations please send me an email at cdscrappin@aol.com and send your address. I’ll pop them in the mail.

Absolutely LOVE your space!! I’m a vintage junkie so love all the eclectic pieces but they go together and look so cohesive!! Hope you heal quickly, am anxious to see what you will work on next.
Thank you Stacy. I'm back to playing with paper, but there is almost always some organization and tips tossed about.
I enjoyed your craft room tour. I hope you hope you are on the mends.thanks for sharing.💕🌴stay well.😊
Thank you Annette and I hope you're well too!
Cori…. We NEED to be friends!!! We love all the same things! I like how you have integrated the vintage pieces into functional storage. Also love how you have stations for each type of supply.
I’m inspired! Just amazing!
Totally agree, we do need to be friends ❤ I'm happy to hear that you've gained some ideas and that we have so much in common.
This is my favorite craft room tour ever. So many clever ideas. Srsly excellent craft space!
Thank you MelissaSue. I spent a whole lot of time thinking about what would or might work to make productio smooth and easy. I'm happy to hear that it's given you ideas ❤
@@CoriDahmen I work a lot on organizing my craft room, too. I love DIY storage. Last week I made a bookcase from cardboard. I often joke that I enjoy organizing my supplies more than actually using them. Lol Aside from DIY storage, I mostly make journals. My main goal for storage is to have everything within "one reach." I've learned that I dislike the work of getting to stuff from stacks of boxes, and forgetting what is buried . The "one reach" rule also makes cleaning up and putting things away so much easier. It's been a total game changer. Looking forward to the series you discussed (teased, lol).
Love, Love everything about your room! ❤❤❤
Thank you Marlene!
