Organizing Your Creative Space: When Your Creativity is Lost in the Clutter

A Craft Room Intervention

After working for Styled & Organized for several months I was feeling like I needed to “come clean” about the most embarrassing part of my home.  After all, if I’m going to be a true asset to Leticia Pfeiffer’s professional organizing business I better start applying her strategies to all areas of my life!  I had already tackled some small parts of my home (catchall drawer, cosmetics drawer, pantry, etc…)  These initial projects only took an hour or two of my time, but the end results were life changing.  Knowing what a huge impact organization can have on my everyday life…I knew it was what I needed in my craft room.  It was time to tackle organizing my creative ...
