Boy, everyone is a little more organized than me! You must have kids that are married and moved out. I am newly married, no kids, working on a degree and have a small house!
I have a baker's rack (just a storage shelf really) that I store shoe box size plastic bins with ribbon, serger scraps, threads, laces, trims, quilting rulers, rotary cutters, pattern tracers, etc., the small stuff. I have 4 of those nut & bolt organizers for buttons and smaller notions like snap pliers. Unfortunately since my husband's workshop takes priority (we're slowly remodeling our house) my fabric is housed in totes in the basement along with my patterns & UFO's while my sewing machine and serger are upstairs. This housing of the UFO's really helps with the guilt - out of sight out of mind. :)
UFO - unfinished object! :lol:
