Hi everyone and welcome to video 2 of the Studsy Bricks YouTube Channel
(music)
So today I thought that I would do a room tour because I've had some people asking
I asked around to see what people wanted to see
And 'Room Tour' seemed to come up a little bit
And then I thought that the first few videos sort of were like an Introduction to Studsy Bricks
and us etc. then we could get into the nitty gritty details - that could be fun.
Just a few things I just wanted to say to start with
This is not bragging - I know that some people will be like 'mmm look at your collection'
But also on the other hand, I have spent a bit of time over like, a year
watching other people film tours
slash lego bits and bobs, people packing their BrickLink orders
And our collection is minute compared to these people
So I don't want you to watch this and be like... wow
you know, not very good! because i'm really proud of our collection
I think it looks good and our system is a thing
Another thing is that this isn't the end
this isn't
This isn't what we have planned
And we're not finished
So there are still a few things that we want to do to the room
Before we probably consider it done
but um
But it's going to take a while to get there
that's that
The weather has been weird and I don't have a box light
So we're dealing with some very questionable lighting
In here at the moment
So hopefully everything comes out okay
if not, too bad? Theres not much we can do about it
so, theres that
And um, i'll mention the things that
We're planning on doing with the room
And maybe if we make a whole bunch of changes
We'll do another one in the future
but, we'll see
So i think that's all the important things
to tick off
I'll explain where we've got a lot of the things
um, and put links in the description
at the bottom, if you're interested
I'm not going to go into full detail about the storage specifically
for our inventory for our BrickLink store
I'll make a separate video about that because it's quite longwinded
And I feel like we kind of need to
just do the Room Tour and then we'll do a separate video
for organisation and storage
maybe that's fun, maybe not, i don't know
so, hopefully you enjoy it!
and lets get started!
to the left we've got
some sets, storage for our Instructions
Big Bang set and Friends set as well as our Brick storage
And then this is our main table where we
do orders, so you can see we have a few at the moment
that we've just picked
and then we just need to package them up
We've got storage below the table
and also above
and then also some sets
and then we've just got a display shelf
with more storage
our Harry Potter sets
and then some Modulars
We have a couple that also need to go on top
We also have containers and stuff there
For when we are picking parts for orders
so they go there, and also for just when we're doing organisation
and that big container is just full of
parts that we haven't quite decided what to do with yet
but they're not quite good enough to sell
so having a look at the room from this angle
this is what it looks like
so usually i sit here
you know, this is the background
that i usually sit in front of
so we've got the table that we use to pick all the orders
and then our storage
some posters that I got from BrickLink or eBay
I'll put the links below if I can find them
This storage I bought from Ikea ages ago
Thats our Stranger Things set
These big blue containers with all the drawers - they're a new purchase
And they're amazing - they're from Bunnings
And our plan is to slowly
move away from the reusable plastic containers because they're a nightmare
Um, and then the plastic
drawers over there are from
Daiso. They're pretty good, but they're not our super favourite
I think the plan is to eventually get more of these
And more of these like, drawers
they pull out. Usually for paper. They're from Officeworks
The lamp is from Ikea. We haven't bought all this for the room
It's just kind of accumulated over time
and its made its way in here
Art is from
Lincoln's sister. It says Linc 4 Sara
And they gave it to us at our wedding
It's very cool
Then we've got our table here
And this is usually what I use for packing orders
So i'll set up bits & pieces and we'll pack the orders there
We've got this little set that we had at the wedding
cute
And then stationery
And bits and bobs
We use these to like clean bits
The toothbrush has only been used for cleaning parts so don't worry
Scales so we can weigh orders
before sending them
Then under there
the dog sleeping next to his bed
Because its the sunny spot in the house and it's also really warm because the vent is there so
he does that a lot
and then here we've got
sets that we need to build/do something with
but haven't decided what to do yet
So this side of the room
thats usually where i sit
when i'm doing videos and i'll have the camera like
near the computer
so on that wall
we've got some posters
I bought them all off eBay and BrickLink
If i can find the specific stores I'll link them below
Um, that's from Pirates of the Caribbean
I've got no interest in it
but also, i was trying to do a thing with the room
so that's what happened there
And then the other two are from the first and second Harry Potter releases that came out
I think in the 2000s - ish
You can see over there as well we've got drawers
It's just where I keep my stationery because
Work from home - that's also my desk
So, in the day it serves as work
In the evenings - it serves as BrickLink admin
Um, so we have our Mystery Machine set alongside a UniKitty
Uh, didn't know where else to put her so she lives
with Fred, Scooby and Shaggy over there
I've also got my Bat Lord set over there
near the computer
And then next to my desk we've got
a chest of drawers which has got
Benny's Spaceship
a head full of snacks
because
sustenance
and then some like, little animal pieces
I'll do a
I'll do a thing. You'll be able to see it
so much better than like me just standing here
Drawers is mostly just packaging at the moment
So like, we've got wrapping bits in there
Hand sanitiser because Covid
And then our different mailers and things like that
We are working to upgrade them to be more sustainable
But its a bit of a process at the moment because of shipping
So up here we've got some random animals
that we decided that we didn't want to sell
Benny's Spaceship, head full of snacks
And then a reed diffuser that we got as a Christmas present
Then i've got some hooks up here that I bought from Rick James Bricks
but, my original plan was to have them hanging on a wall
that one
and then put the blanket over it, but they were too slippery
So i haven't quite decided
what the plan is
with that
So they're just there for now
for decoration?
Also, we need to paint in here
um, as you can tell
So that's another thing that needs to happen
Another cool thing that we want to do is
is that this wall here is very blank at the moment
We have actually got these shelves ready to go
with our Minifigures
Um so they will eventually
be hung up there in the void
Another thing
that we've also got for the room
is this air freshener
it looks like a Lego person
and I bought that from Etsy
it's lavender flavour but you can choose the flavour that you
get
I'll put a link to her shop in the description
below as well
So thats the room
it's not like, super flash
but i like it because it's colourful
and we can easily find everything we need
it's reasonably well organised
It needs work obviously
but that's that!
Is theres anything that you saw and you liked
the look of and wanted to get it
that I didn't say
where it was from, please
put a thing in the comments below
and I will try and find out for you
I will do like I said before
I'll do another video soon
of the actual storage
and like, how we've
Organised the Lego
but that's just kind of, what's going on in the Background
so, now you know!
thanks so much for watching
