An I Am Roses Design Team Exclusive! How do you store your I Am Roses flowers?

Hi I Am roses lovelies! Today we have something super fun to share with you today! This is our very first I Am Roses design team EXCLUSIVE! Some of your favorite I Am Roses designers open up their craftroom for you and show you how they store their I Am Roses flowers. They have some GREAT ideas to help get you organized and we hope you enjoy the fun video we put together for you!

First some sneak peeks of picture from the designers....

Patricia has the most GORGEOUS shabby chic scraproom... isn't it just heaven?! What makes it so beautiful? All the I Am Roses flowers on all those spectacular projects showcased on her desk! hehe! But really... she has a GREAT way to store her flowers in this very spacious Malm dresser drawer from IKEA...


Leanne stores her I Am Roses in these bins in her Expedit shelf from IKEA. Don't you just love how functional and chic her storage system looks! "Live, Laugh, Love." Definitely LOVE it!


Yvonne stores her I Am Roses "up close and personal" in a drawer in her craft desk. What a fabulous idea to have your flowers at (literally) arms distance from where you are crafting... easy access to I Am Roses is the key to any little crafter's heart! ❤


Jo stores her beautiful, bountiful stash of I Am Roses flowers in these Sterilite plastic stackable drawers. These drawers are so functional and keeps you super organized! Don't you just love how you can peek through the clear drawers so you know what's inside... just open, grab, create! ❤


Andrea stores her I Am Roses flowers in this cube shelf inside baskets and bins. She stores her flowers by color family... Don't you just LOVE how organized this is and so easy to access when you are in the middle of creating a project. ❤


Arlene stores her I Am Roses flowers in this multi-tier drawer system from IKEA.  Each drawer is organized by color family and type of flower. Loose flowers are kept in small clear bins on the top drawer, organized by flower size.


Last but not least, our lovely Juliana stores her I Am Roses flowers in these clear plastic drawers, much like Jo. Super organized and easy to find what she's looking for! ❤ If you ask her, she will tell you that her pink and white drawer is her favorite! hehe!


So there you have it folks! This is how some of your favorite I Am Roses designers store their I Am Roses flowers. ❤

We'd LOVE to hear about how YOU store YOUR I Am Roses flowers. Be sure to share with us! Leave a comment here on this blog post and on our YouTube video. We will be selecting a random winner from the comments early next week. And don't forget to check back here on the blog where we will announce the lucky winner!
