Storage Ideas, anyone?

I love looking for new ways to store + display my art stuff. All of my paints, markers, pens, glitter, stencils, stamps...(I think you get the picture, lol!) have their own homes within my studio.

It's very important for me to be organized because I have so many jobs going on at once. Plus, being organized really cuts back on time from searching + digging through piles of supplies.

My new order of paints just came in from DecoArt! I'm so happy to be stocked up on the new line of Media Fluid Acrylics.

Today was a great day to organize + use my recent thrift store treasure. It's a very hard plastic container that looks like it could've been a cabinet, but the doors are missing. I LOVE the way it curves...it's perfect! Organized today, messy tomorrow!

As you can tell from this photo, I like to color coordinate my paints - warm to cool, please :)
I'm crazy for carousels/turn tables + anything with wheels...hey, I like to re-arrange on a whim without the heavy lifting + it's easy to transport when I give demos or painting outside at various locations.

Also, I like adding a lil' dab of the paint to the lid so that I can easily grab whatever color I want, at a glance. You'd be surprised at how well this complements the intuitive painting process.


Do you have any "homemade" solutions for your storage needs? If so, what's your favorite one for storing paints?
