I find all kinds of things to use in my sewing room, I have a small tackle boxes I use to store buttons, bobbins and I even have one of these (red thing) to store pins sewing machine needles, ribbon and other goodies in. And I used an old desk hutch top for a shelf unit to store fat quarters and my current projects.
