Being a crafter means it comes with the need to store all the fun goodies we end up collecting with every new project, hobby and dream! I know becuase I am right there with ya!
CreateRoom sent me their new dreambox center which has been an amazing add to my mini craft room in our new cabin we recently moved to where I will be running Auntie Tay from for the time being. While I have a studio on our property, it has been nice having a small space in our home where I can choose a few hobbies to keep alive any time I would like. Here is my full review of the dreambox center if you are interested in knowing more about it.
AUNTIE TAY'S THOUGHTS ON WHO IS THE DREAMBOX CENTER FOR and BEST FUNCTIONS?

Clear storage to battle ADHD organization
How I used my Dreambox Center:
1st I chose the 4 main crafts I would like to do in my home office.
Auntie Tay Work Planners
Personal Planner + Journal Supplies: Yes I have a LOT!
BLING!
Embroidery
Cricut Vinyl, HTV, and Transfer Tape
I added DIY Peg boards to the doors (Files available in my membership) I will be using to add any tools I need for my Cricut.
I also added Clips and cork boards to easilly change out the function each week!
I wanted to label my Bins creatively, and I think I succeeded! I used my XTOOL to create labels out of wood, and an old planner cover! Each Label was actually done using a different technique and will be featured in a Laser video on my Youtube channel soon!
I also wanted to be able to change them out so I tied them on to the bins with Twine.
I opted to leave my bins clear since I LOVE all the planner textures I have collected over the years.
Downsizing but Major UPGRADING!
It has been 5 Years of owning a Dreambox and I am blown away by how Createroom made changes to the hardware and even changed the table based on some critiques I had in my last review... Like what!?! I love that!
HERE ARE SOME FUN WAYS I USED MY FULL DREAMBOX
I was invited to do a series for a channel and I branded the dreambox to their brand in a few hours with just some cute boxes and paper!
I loved moving the brand colors to the front of my paints and glitters leaving the clear totes exposing them to make it all match.
A quick add of wrapping paper to the doors and a cute DIY pumpkin banner started the flip to my harvest-themed box! I just added my fall pumpkin and florals to the top with a few black and white boxes.
Decorating just the front is as easy as changing our a banner and the top if you don't feel like changing everything on the inside as well.
I LOVED labeling and making fun scrapbook style elements to the jars, the bins and more! I think it looked different every season. I sure will miss that part of it!
Let's talk Cricut storage. I have found the dreambox totes to fit my flat sheets of vinyl and HTV perfectly when I store them in scrapbooking sleeves.
I also organize my HTV by color which makes creating projects faster and easier to know what I have on hand. I also love these totes because it makes storing scraps along with full sheets together easily. They fit perfectly in the bottom of the Dreambox Center
