Space is tight in my apt. I use an over the door hanger to hold a canvas 4 pocket letter sorter for my rulers. Each pocket has a different type and I always have them handy. I needed a small table for my apt and couldn't find anything little enough. I found a glass topped metal frame coffee table & had pvc pipe cut to length and stuck the legs in the pipe to bring the table up to the height I needed. I made a cloth cover and got a pretty table to eat at and it sits right by my sewing machine so it doubles for projects. When I need a light table - off comes the cover and I put a small light under the glass and trace away. All this from a $5 garage sale find!
Am totally enjoying reading this post.
