: I just came across this list while desparately searching for some way to organize my craft room. I am fortunate to have an entire room but that's where it ends.
: I have fabric, yarn, books and tons of other stuff that I have stacked in boxes. There is one small closet in the entire tiny house so I am left with 2 shelf units. One is 5 foot with 4 shelves and the other is a deep 4 foot high 3 shelf monster. I have a desk as well. I can't put up any shelves since it's a rental.
: I guess my biggest question is, how to sort it all, catagorize it and then store it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Lea, are you on the mail list for the container store? If not give them a call: 800.733.3532
They have the "runner basket" systems that may help you wonderfully. Come in a multitude of sizes AND you can get the plastic liners for the drawwers so nothing falls thru the holes. The systems are very well priced & the reason I like theirs best is because the ELFA system is the leader of the pack & guranteed for life. A lot of the others you see are facimiles & they do not last. (I've seen the ones some of my clients have purchased & they are already scratched ...once scratched the rusting sets in.
You can also get dividers of all sorts for the "small pieces" for your crafts. Check out the catalog & let me know what you think!
Much Aloha,
