Learn all about The DreamBox by The Original ScrapBox and why it’s the most awesome and amazing thing you can add to your craft room! We are absolutely LOVING our new DreamBox, and we wanted to share all of the incredible details with you, because we’re pretty sure that the DreamBox is about to head straight to the top of your wish list!
DreamBox Delivery and Set-Up Details
We ordered the Pre-Assembled DreamBox which was delivered curbside by a freight company. The freight company was great about calling me ahead of time to arrange our delivery schedule, and the delivery process was WAY quicker and easier than I was expecting it to be!
I just had to climb up there to give y’all a sense of scale! This crate was GINORMOUS!
You’ll need to get out your drill or electric screwdriver to remove all four sides of the crate before unpacking everything inside.
Unscrew all four sides of the crate, and then remove all of the packing materials and start removing the smaller parts and pieces that are inside of each of the three main cabinets. There are lots and LOTS of storage tubs, shelves, and other parts and pieces inside of there, so make sure to remove them all carefully!
Once you get all of the pieces indoors, you’ll want to start assembling the DreamBox and adding all of your shelf brackets and shelving. The DreamBox is SUPER versatile and customizable, so the shelving arrangement options are nearly endless!
I spent a LONG time playing around with the shelving arrangement and making sure that everything was just where I wanted it to be. The DreamBox includes 77 adjustable shelves and 80 acrylic totes (in three different sizes), so there are PLENTY of totes and bins to suit all of your needs! The DreamBox also comes with 16 clear lidded jars (16 oz.), 12 acrylic shelf guards, 12 hooks, and 4 metal rods that are perfect for ribbon, washi tape, bakers twine, and more!
I also spent a good amount of time playing around with a bunch of different configurations of “What Goes Where?” until I was super happy with the way that things were laid out. These Large Totes (12.25”W x 12.25”L x 3”H) are incredibly versatile, and I was able to store all kinds of different materials in them.
As I was filling up the DreamBox with my craft supplies, I started to get distracted by that big chunk of bright green Cricut-brand supplies in the upper middle section. If you know anything about me at all, you know that I love, love, LOVE to organize everything in rainbow color order, so all of that green (although pretty!) was driving me a little crazy!
So, to remedy the too-much-green situation, I decided to add some rainbow-colored paper drawer liners to the bins – easy peasy and SUPER cute! For now, I know what’s inside of each drawer, but eventually I may add some drawer labels to help me remember!
I did the same with the bottom section of large bins, using polka dot paper this time, because rainbows + polka dots are even MORE of my jam! I love the idea of using paper drawer liners to totally customize the look of your DreamBox! I’ve seen some really awesome ones that use all different kinds of pretty patterned paper – it’s SO easy to make your DreamBox uniquely YOU!
Our DreamBox Craft Room
I am SO head-over-heels in love with my colorful DreamBox! 😍 Adding the optional lighted crown was SUCH a good decision, and the additional light makes a tremendous difference, especially when I’m crafting in the evenings!
I love that my DreamBox is so well organized and it is SUPER easy to close up and store everything away, too! I plan on keeping my DreamBox open most of the time, but it’s nice to know that I have the option to close it up whenever I want the space to look a little tidier and less colorful!
So, want a quick tour of some of our DreamBox highlights? Of course you do! The rainbow-colored top center section of my DreamBox is filled with my Cricut crafting supplies (including specialty papers, Infusible Ink, and all of my sublimation blanks) as well as my LARGE collection of cosmetic mica powders that we use for our DIY bath and body products.
The DreamBox comes with 34 of the Large Totes that perfectly fit 12×12 papers and rolls of vinyl and iron-on, which really is a dream come true! I have a massive collection of paper and vinyl that’s housed in it’s own separate shelving unit, so I chose to dedicate just two drawers of my DreamBox to the specific paper and vinyl that I am currently crafting with. It’s so nice to have those selections right there at my fingertips!
The side panels of my DreamBox are filled with all kinds of goodies! This left side is home to all of my washi tape, ribbon, craft paint, spray paint, and more! The polka dot drawers are filled with paper crafting supplies, scrapbook embellishments, and binding combs for my Cinch book binding machine.
I love the versatility of these adjustable rods!
The DreamBox also comes with 20 Shoebox Totes (5.5”W x 12”L x 4.5”H) that are great for holding your bigger and taller items. My kids are constantly asking me where I keep the birthday cards (usually as they’re racing out the door to a birthday party!), so I was thrilled to discover that my birthday and holiday card collections fit nicely in the Shoebox Totes.
And it fits a LOT of cards! The Shoebox Totes come with 2 removable divider inserts that help you portion up the space and organize things even better! Birthday cards in the front, thank you cards in the middle, and holiday cards in the back! 😍
The Shoebox Totes are also great for holding collections of items and supplies. This bin has fancy trims in the front and fabric flowers/bows for headband-making in the back.
One of my most favorite things about the DreamBox is the large storage area underneath the table. I can store machines or other items up to 24 1/2″ tall below table, and the shelves are vertically adjustable to suit your needs. I love that all three sizes of my Cricut EasyPresses can fit on one of the shelves, and I still have plenty of space for my Minc, my Cinch, my Brother sewing machine, and more!
Another one of my favorite things about my DreamBox (I’m allowed to have 50 favorite things, right? 😂) are these Notions Totes (2.3”W x 12”L x 3”H). They might look small, but they pack a MIGHTY organizational punch! The DreamBox comes with 26 of them, and they’re kind of amazing!
The Notions Totes also come with removable dividers, so you can really maximize your storage options. Plus, they hold WAY more than might appear at first glance! There are almost 100 colorful hot glue sticks in that rainbow right there!
Oh, and there’s a whole SECOND section of glue sticks in the back of the tote, too! 😲 (I told you, they’re AMAZING!)
There are 12 hooks included with the DreamBox, though I chose to only use six of them to hang a few of my Cricut tools. The 16 clear lidded jars that are also included with the DreamBox are great for a HUGE variety of supplies ranging from felt balls to yarn to sequins, beads, bows, and more! The uses for them are endless!
12 Acrylic Shelf Guards allow you to securely place items like mason jars on the shelves without worrying that anything will shift or fall over when opening and closing the DreamBox.
The shelf guards are also great for securing cans and bottles of paint, glue, glitter, resin, and more!
The 3′ x 3′ DreamBox work table has sturdy locking adjustable legs that allow you to use the table three ways – sitting height (29″ as shown above), drafting, and standing height (36″).
I personally like to stand a lot when I’m crafting, so I frequently find myself using the DreamBox table at standing height.
I also opted to add the optional Side Tables to my DreamBox, and they are SO awesome! The side tables add an extra 870 square inches of crafting space EACH to your work area, and they can also be adjusted to all three different height levels!
Of course, if your budget allows, I highly recommend the additional of the all-new DreamCart for the most ideal craft room combination EVER!
We talked about the DreamCart a lot the other day (you can read all about it here!), but one of my favorite things about it is the way that it easily integrates with the DreamBox to create an even MORE incredible crafting space.
(And it also folds up and can be tucked away when not in use! 😍)
I could not be happier with my new craft room space and how incredibly organized everything is! The DreamBox has truly been a dream come true, and I highly recommend getting one if you’re looking to organize any of your crafting or hobby supplies! It would even make a great office workstation as well!
