Update:
First, here’s the video of the changes (and you’ll get to see my puppy!):
And here’s the original video:
But, I made some big changes. Here we go! (I am including original pictures and links)
My desk where I make videos. I used to have it covered with a table cloth, but that was kinda annoying. So I found some things to make the desk more usable. The first picture is how it used to look, the next two is how it looks now:
Ok, here’s what’s on this table:
Here’s the biggest change- my Ikea Kallax. After using it for a few weeks, I decided I really wanted a bigger one. Ikea is great with returns-if it is assembled, you have 180 days to return. You just bring in the big heavy thing and they give you your money back! I got the new one and added doors to the bottom.
I added TONS of stuff from Stamp-N-Storage. I love their products, it has made my room so much more organized.
First picture is how it used to look.
Now……
Here’s the new size I use and the doors:
The stuff on the the top and above the Kallax:
Drawer Cabinet (I use the 5 Double)
Paper Pocket (I use the 8.5×11 here)
Label Holder (for the outside)
Drawer Cabinet (I use 1 triple, 1 double, 5 single)
Paper Sleeve (I use 12×12 here)
Here’s my cabinets. Not much changed here, but a few things:
The hanging display I use to display my cards is this:
Blending Brush Stand (I have the size 10)
Here’s a video of my room:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Edited to add- one of the most common questions- what color is my room? Rainwash by Sherwin-Williams!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was one of my best ideas of all time. I used to store my scraps in folders by family (brights, subtles, etc.) I realized it would be much easier if each color had it’s own folder/pocket. Here’s what I use (I use the 8.5×11 portrait size for the scraps) :
Paper Storage Pockets by Stamp N Storage
How I store my dies and 12×12 DSP. This changed for the good, too. My dies are so much easier to see and manage.

Dies- I use the 5×7 and 6×7 magnet size. For the crate, I use the medium size with no cover:

Here’s the boxes I use for my classes:
Another long basket for Embossing Folders.
I saw this Scalloped Pin Board on Pottery Barn Kids. Even though my kids are not kids, I still go on PBK once in a while. Some of the things at Pottery Barn Kids are not just for kids!
I have mostly personal stuff on it- pictures of my family, things my boys made for me. And, yes, a note my husband left me when he went to work one day. 🙂
