We live in a single wide trailer, myself, DH and children ages 22, 18, & 17 and we all have a lot of stuff. I am like you in that I find myself being so overwhelmed w/the lack of working space that I loose the motivation to do anything. And like you all my stuff is basically boxed up. I have a shelf by my sewing machine where I can put the stuff I need for whatever current project I am working on and that has helped me out a bit.
Really enjoyed the closet tour, might need to use some of her ideas to make things more organized for myself.
