The Dreambox

This is the ultimate storage solution for crafty people and in the video below, I’m sharing the reasons why I needed one.

Dreambox Worth The Investment

I spent over £3K on the wrong furniture for my craft room over a course of 2 years. It is hard to admit it but it is what it is…

My main storage solution is she-shed / Log Cabin.

I first used a bedroom to craft but after 8 years of crafting my stash grew and so did my family.

When we moved into a new home, I was left with no room for my craft supplies. For that reason, we decided to build a log cabin at the bottom of our small garden to be used as a craft room.

This has been an adventure and it has involved loads of DIY!

She Shed Log Cabin Craft Room Info

• This Log Cabin model is called Barbados 2 by “Lasita Maja” (German). It was the most affordable quality building I could get in the area ( 2021 price is around £6,000)
• Its size is about 6 x 3.30 x 2.30 meters.
• The logs are 4.4 cm thick.
• It requires a concrete base prior to installation, and it is good to add gravel edging to avoid water splashes that can damage the wood over time.
• Roof Covering is additional to the cost of the cabin.
• You can add flooring and insulation if you wish. I installed the laminate myself – no insulation has been added.
• To paint it, I used Smoke Grey (919) Sadolin paint for the exterior and white Sadolin paint for the interior.
• It took me over a week to paint the cabin myself.
• 10 litres of paint were required for the exterior and 10 for the interior (5 litters cost around £75 – £80)
• To heat up the cabin, I use an inexpensive electric heater that keeps it very warm in winter (downside- expensive to run)

Inside the Cabin

Here is a picture inside my cabin just before having the Dreambox.

You can see my craft room set up something I have changed several times through the years.

I used kitchen cabinets ( £500) to store my papercraft supplies for 2 years.

The model of these cabinets is called Dakota White and I also needed to buy the worktops (£100).

This setup didn’t look that bad.. it was very cosy!

Now let me show you “the ugly truth”…

BEFORE – I used IKEA AND Kitchen Cabinets

• It was easy to throw things inside the cabinets and as they were deep and wide there was nothing to contain my supplies…
• However, when closing the doors nobody could see the mess.!
• The worktops were the first place used to keep things at hand.
• If I stored them in the cabinets I could easily forget I have them.

So let’s face it, the most worktops I had , the more mess I had over them. The worse part of crafting is having to clean after each session.

So although my craft room didn’t look messy… It was an illusion. You can also see that in my video here.

Of course, you won’t spot the mess… It was on the floor or inside the cabinets.

Kitchen cabinets were not my first attempt to get organized… IKEA was.

The nearest Ikea store is located 190 miles away from my house.

I went twice and spent money on petrol (£80), 16-hour traveling, plus £1200 on different tables, units (Kallax, Hemnes, files organizers), storage containers, you name it, etc.

CONCLUSION: Ikea furniture kept my supplies contained in the same way the kitchen cabinets do BUT none didn’t really allow me to organize them or to have them ar reach.

AFter – DREAMBOX

After several years of trying to get myself organized, I finally got there!

I decided to give the DREAMBOX a try and although you might think it is pricey if you think twice… You soon will come to realize that she is not.

All you see in the picture is included for a value of about £2.5K if you get it during a sale it will be a lot less.

I could fit 90% of my papercraft supplies in the Dreambox after decluttering. After I got it, I have never need to look for an extra container.

Now, I’m only keeping my newest supplies or those that I’m using very often.

Having piles of supplies gathering dust made me feel anxious and the mess made me feel overwhelmed. Decluttering was a very good thing to do.

You can easily place items back on the Dreambox, fully close it after each crafty session, or leave it open as I do.

No other storage solution allows you to do that.

The Dreambox invited me to be more effective and organized.
She became a home for my papercraft supplies. I can see all the items beautifully displayed so I know exactly what I have and it helps me to keep everything tidy, always in the same place.

Dreambox What to Expect

My Dreambox arrived within 7 weeks directly from the USA.

No pre-assembled option was available and I didn’t need it.

I spent 6 hours building it. I found the process a lot easier than I thought.

My husband dislikes DIY so he only helped on a few occasions to lift heavy parts.

It took me 2 days to fit the shelves and everything inside it.

You will find clear instructions to assemble the Dreambox and all the parts are labeled for easy assembling.

Read them with care and take your time to get things right.

To bear in mind

• I assembled my Dreambox from scratch without any help.
• Now there is a pre-assembled option for a fee of $499 USD ( this fee might change) in that case you will receive a huge box with pieces pre-assembled.
• You can fully customize your Dreambox and the price vary depending on what you chose.
• You can visit Create Room USA, Create Room Europe, Create Room Canada and put items in the basket to check prices according to your choice.

From having supplies in boxes to having them nicely displayed right in front of my eyes.

There are shelves, compartments, hooks and rods in the doors

You can fit the shelves to fit different totes sizes and according to your needs.

Below are some samples of the classic totes but please bear in mind that in 2021 Create Room is offering an updated design of the totes which is a lot better… check them out here.
