Really great ideas! Thank you for his forum. My first time registering (Durham, NC), altho I have been reading joyfully for a few months. I'm also in the living room! I have to see my fabric, and just packed away books and pottery so I could use the bookcase with clear plastic bins. For me, color groupings and also small and large work the best. I put accessories like extra thread and spare parts in the labeled underbed boxes. Again, thanks!
