BEFORE
Tidy Nest was hired to create a system for the abundance of art supplies in a playroom. Art and office supplies are Shannon’s all time favorite items so she could not have been been more excited to tackle this project (plus it was for her five-year-old niece).
Need: The parents wanted to create a functional system for their children’s growing art supply collection. This system needed to be child-friendly and encourage creativity. There also needed to be a system for the children’s already-created and work-in-progress projects… a typical problem for parents.
Solution: Introduce containment for all supplies using child-friendly organizational products.
Method:
Removed all contents and sorted the supplies (yes, even the loose pom poms and jem stones)
Edited all supplies - duplicates went into back stock, broken or dried out supplies were discarded
Decanted supplies like paint, markers, crayons, etc.
Installed organizing solutions - we selected plastic and acrylic containment for easy cleanup (plus they are lightweight). Shannon wanted to introduce some more color to the already colorful playroom so she chose Jade Y-weave baskets from Target.
Labeled baskets and shelving for easy clean-up! We went with handwritten chalk labels for the playful look!
Collected all art projects both finished and in the works. finished projects were added to a binder with sheet protectors, works-in-progress were corralled in a basket on a bakers rack.
