When considering your workspace, here’s rule #1 ...
If it feels right to you, it's right!
End of Rules.
When we moved to Atlanta from St. Louis at the end of 2003, I left behind a house with enough storage space to comfortably store three decades of collectibles gathered by a certified 'Collectoholic' . . . that would be yours truly! More on my favorite collection at a later date . . .
I had started creating jewelry and selling locally about a year earlier, but had no special place to work. I used the kitchen table and would drag out all my tools and supplies each time I went to work, and got into the habit of cleaning everything up when I finished for the day. What was I thinking? Who needs a kitchen table, anyhow?
Well, old habits die hard, and even though I now have an entire second bedroom in the apartment for my office/workspace I still clean up at the end of a day I've spent creating jewelry for my Shop on Etsy.
The cubicles stay on the messy side until I get sick of looking at it, but for the most part there's
a place for everything, and yada, yada, yada.
PS All this storage space courtesy of my favorite Collection that is packed up and stored for the time being.

WOW! You are so organized! I am embarrassed now.
Wow, you are sooo neat and organized. I wish I was like that.
LMAO at the treasury timer!!!! And there is nothing wrong with a kitchen table, that is what I use :)) I love the canvas covered carts! It is so neat to see what everyone does!
I am amazed at the neatness and order.
I wish I had a workspace like THAT!
Wow, your work space is so neat! I'm also amazed at the uncluttered-ness as well! That's pretty amazing :)
I love the shelves!
You are so efficient. My messes stay around for ages. I work on several things at one time and have them out in trays so I can look and mull and fiddle with the elements before I commit to what I'm doing.
Makes for a huge amount of clutter. I envy you.
awesome so organized!!!
Thanks for sharing, and giving us some insight into your workspace! Definetly neater than mine :)
wow! you are so neat and organized too! *envy*
So organized! Lovely work area!

Your space looks great..organized and neat! Didn't know you were from STL...all my family lives there still and I grew up in that area!
Wow, you have a beautiful work space!
I love your workspace!
Would you like to do a guest post about organization on my blog? I'm getting about 1,000 hits a month- hopefully it will bring some traffic to your shop!
great that your shelves are portable! I like to move things around in my sewing room, I could use a few of those!
You are so organized!! I do have some ideas now for some of my stuff though!
Maybe my space will be that neat and tidy one day too :)
Oh! Can´t believe all this organization could exist... Green with envy... I´m really disorganized, your´s is great!!!
So nice and neat. So organized and lots of space.
Can't believe how neat and organized you are, so jealous!
I'm so jealous of your space, it's so neat and organized.
Your work space is way to nice and neat. Could be why your jewelry is all so beautiful. I thought mine was organzied until I saw yours..... LOL
wow, so organized! envy... ;)
and i LOVE your timer - i usually set the one which is built in our oven...
I love it! I fail miserably at trying to stay organized!
Great workspace! I agree...the only thing that doesn't work is having to pick up everything daily. Either you won't create because you have to get out everything, or you won't pick it all up. I gave up half the dining room table for mine.
Oh wow! I love how organized you are! It motivates me to clean my act up :)
I love that portable container! I REALLY think I am going to have to look for something like that!
Such a beautiful set up. It's a great inspiration!!
Amazing! Very organized! Wish mine looked like that :)
Wow, I am officially jealous of your space. I would really like a room devoted to my crafting work. I'm at the dining room table.... but at least I have a devoted closet!
Wow - everything is so neat and organized. Love it!
you my dear are the epitome of organization. I bow to your superior neatness!!
Oh how I dream of a space that works for me. Great organization!
What a great space. And so organized.
now THAT is organization! I am jealous of all your storage space
Beautiful place and very neat :)
Good for you!
You have given me so many Idea's on how to organize my stuff.
Great work space, looks like you have plenty of room to grow too ;)
Can you come over and help me organize my studio please??? :) I've gotten much better, but you definitely win. Thanks for sharing this!
I just came upon your blog and am so glad I did. It's lovely.
