I have a sew steady table that fits my machine, and I put most of my tools under the sew steady table--on top of the table that the sewing machine rests on. Hope that makes sense. I find that if I keep putting my sissors in the same place, etc. they are easier to find. I also have the metal cabinet things that have the small plastic drawers, these usually go to the back and side of my machine. That way I have bobbins always easy to get to, light bulbs, presser feet, etc. My poor messy room belies my organization!
