Have too much stuff and not enough space? We understand your dilemma. As crafters, so many of us struggle with having more supplies and creations than we have room for. While a larger space might be nice, save yourself the hassle. Rather than investing in another piece of furniture, install your own effortless-looking, space-maximizing floating shelves. They're a wonderfully-simple, inexpensive, and beautiful way to tackle your lack of storage without monopolizing your wallet or space.
