I Thought I Needed More Storage...I Was Wrong  @49dragonflies

Something changed during this craft room reset series.

At first I thought I needed more storage. More bins. More systems. Better organization.

But the deeper I got into decluttering, the more I realized the real issue wasn't storage at all.

Today I'm tackling some of the most overcrowded areas in my craft room using ideas inspired by Clutterbug's organizing approach. The goal is no longer to fit more into the space—it's to create room to breathe.

Let's see what happens. ❤️

Here's the prompt I used:
"I'm continuing my craft room reset series.
I've already removed retreat supplies from the room, reduced my unfinished project pile, and created simple systems for active projects and temporary holding items.
Many viewers have recommended Clutterbug's organizing approach, which suggests that people organize differently depending on how their brains naturally work.
I am a highly visual creative person. I like seeing my supplies because I often forget what I own when things are hidden. At the same time, my shelves, drawers, and storage areas feel overcrowded and overwhelming.
Based on what you know about the Clutterbug system, which organizing style do I most likely fit and why?
Once you've identified my likely style, explain how that information should influence my decluttering decisions today.
Specifically, how can I use my organizing style to decide what to keep, what to let go of, and how much is realistically enough?
Today, I want to tackle two areas that still feel heavy and overcrowded: the storage cabinet behind me and the bookshelf to my left. I'll include photos of both spaces so you can help me decide what deserves to stay and what might be time to let go of."
