Step 3: Prioritize.

Which types of supplies do you reach for most frequently? Determine an order of importance for the contents of your stash. When we get to arranging everything, you'll be placing the high-priority items within easiest reach.

Step 4: Compartmentalize.

Begin putting things away, starting with your most-beloved products and tools. Store them in drawers, bins, baskets or jars at eye level or within arm's reach of your creative station. Be sure to consider your organizational style--if you need to see what you have, use clear containers; if you prefer a more streamlined look, opt for closed storage.
