Everyone does it differently. When we moved into our new house a few years ago, I got the "media room" (Family room) and it didn't have a closet. So on one wall I put the computer with bookcases on each side and a shelf across the top of the bookcases. I went to JC Penney's catalog in the bathroom section and order two white cabinets. One with two drawers on the bottom and 3 shelves. The other had shelves only but with some dividers. Both with doors to keep out the sun. Then I sorted my stash by color if they were misc. My Thimbleberries got sorted by color and put in plastic shoeboxes with no lids. The others were also put in shoeboxes and then if I need some blues I just pull out the shoebox with blues it it. So basically cabinets with shelves with doors with plastic shoeboxes sorted by color.
