And can we just acknowledge how amazing it is that these drawers are in fact clear! I can easily find any tidbit needed to easily craft through the day. What’s even more amazing, is that these can be divided further to store additional small pieces. Toward the right side of the DreamBox, you will find all my tools needed for gluing, threading, cutting, sewing, if you can dream it–it’s probably there! The included mini totes allow for easy storage of much smaller items like googly eyes, pom-poms, beads and buttons. Each shelf is dedicated to a particular type of paint from acrylic paints to fabric paints, everything is organized (and of course– in the rainbow order). On the left side of the DreamBox, you can find all the art supplies needed to paint. These pieces are the inspiration, a constant reminder of why I love to create. The wooden hand represents LOVE in sign language, the blue wooden figure with scissors is a representation of my parents as dressmakers. In fact, if you look at the center of my DreamBox, a wooden hand and a figurine with scissors, you’ll see my earliest inspiration proudly displayed there. I feel strongly that because of this early influence and exposure to art at a young age, it’s fueled my passion for creating, drawing, and painting throughout my life. While my dad would sketch new designs for his clients, I would be doing the same right alongside him for my dolls. Thanks to my parents' occupation, I was always surrounded by paper, pencils, scissors and colorful fabrics.

My name is Lucia and I was born in Slovakia to deaf parents who were professional dressmakers. In order to understand more about why I love to create and how important the DreamBox has become to me and my family, I’ll have to start from the beginning: Had someone finally heard my cries for better storage? Did they know that art supplies were covering every surface of my home? The moment that I received an email saying, “Your DreamBox is on its way,” I actually got up and did a happy dance.

It was as if someone had finally answered the craft storage dilemma and my dream storage had come to life. Once I came across the DreamBox, I was hooked. All that I did was spend more money on temporary fixes. Everything I had tried, up until recently, had not provided me with the ideal solution. I tried all the hacks out there, I googled and made Pinterest boards, I looked through dozens of blogs trying to find the perfect solution. Then the next problem becomes, how on Earth am I going to store all of these supplies? It’s not as easy as walking into a big box retailer and asking for the perfect piece of furniture to store your art supplies. When you are an artist or craft enthusiast, you collect A LOT of supplies.

I am by no means a messy person but I was lacking the right tool to organize my art supplies in a way that made them easy to access.

It would take a long time to find the supplies I needed for a particular project glitter paint, a particular paint brush, or a different paint altogether. The best part of the DreamBox is the spark of creativity it ignites in me!īefore the DreamBox, I had art supplies all over the place! Many times, I would even forget what art supplies I owned.
