I love the wire shelving idea! I moved into my 14' X 24' quilting shed several months back and I'm already having trouble finding a place for everything! My DH insisted on putting a recliner in there so he could "visit" me. I love having him come out from time to time, but that recliner sure takes up a lot of space. I need to just take some time to go through all the stuff that is sitting in the floor and find a place for it. I need to remove the diagonal legs on my cutting table (JoAnns) and put legs on the corners so I would have more storage under that on either side. I had started sorting scraps, but making quilts got in the way. I did ruler-fold all my fabric and I use the clear plastic shoe boxes to store all my fat quarters. Organizing my fabric has kept me from having to buy much fabric so far this year. I've made a number of quilts from my stash. By the way, I sat down at my cutting board to fold fabric...saves your back!

I noticed your floor is still visible and the room looks clean, so it really just needs some organization. The plastic containers in different sizes are really helpful and look much neater than shopping bags. And you can buy them a few at a time and they won't bust your budget. Your room looks bright and cheerful and I love your red wall! The other idea that struck me was putting hooks under the cutting table to hang your rulers! I may try that one, too.
