Up on top of the shelf I have a couple of cake turntables that I found at the thrift store. Intended to be used for cake decorating, I find them useful for all kinds of painting projects as well as for decorating faux cakes. Just put your object on top and you can turn as needed. Originally gray and white, I used gold spray paint to make them match my craft studio decor 😄. I also like to cover them with a bit of parchment or paper when working to keep them clean and pretty.
(Michael's craft store has this one)
Next to the turn tables is a small plastic drawer set where I keep my brushes.
Some of my brushes are artist's brushes that I purchased here;
The rest are less expensive craft brushes and sponge brushes that I get at Dollar Tree.
The plastic paint trays are from there too.
Here is how I customize my drawers.
Below on the shelving is my stock of acrylic paints that I keep in plastic shoe storage bins. You can find these at Dollar Tree, but the ones at Walmart are sturdier! I like to separate my bottles by color and keep the open bottles up front in the bin, with the duplicates still sealed in the back. Once I open an extra, I jot the color down on my shopping list and that way I don't run out of any particular color.
My craft studio can get pretty cold in the winter so at first I was worried about how some of my supplies would hold up, but after a full year of seasons everything has been ok. This might vary depending on your location and how well your space is insulated though.
All the spray paint cans are on the bottom.
As well as miscellaneous bins for other types of paint. One holds my puffy (fabric) paints while another contains an assortment of water colors.
You can pick up canvases at any craft store, but I like to keep my eyes out for them at garage sales and thrift stores - you wouldn't believe how often I snag them for just a couple of dollars! Then I bring them home and tuck them away behind my tool storage 😊
It's nice to have a supply on hand for when inspiration strikes or when the kids just want to have fun.
And that's the tour of my painting storage and organization 😊

I like to sort my paints and crafting supplies by color too; it makes it so much easier to find just what I'm looking for.
