I find the floor lamp is the best, because it comes in three section, so the height can be adjusted so be next to an ironing board or sewing table. The frosted shade doesn't produce glare. It's about $20,

I love these wire baskets. I use them for fat quarters, scraps, UFO's, and they hold my Accu quilt cutter.

I've gotten fabric, a left over side of a cabinet (to put my cutting mat on, cause I cut on my bed), I am currently storing my Accuquilt dies in a wooden pot holder, which has more room than the one Accuquilt sells.

I really try to stay away from Ikea. I do like there "as is" section, usually I try to start there 1st.

I love IKEA!!!! My daughters and I try to get there a couple times a year (about 2 1/2 hours from here). Almost all of the organizers in my house are from there.

I have one very close and really hadn't thought about storage solutions?? Will have to track this for and when I move to a larger apartment. I do have their mesh wire magazine holders, love the vibrant colors.

I have a Besta cabinet with glass doors for my quilting books, a desk as a sewing cabinet, and a comfy chair for DH. There is also tons of IKEA cabinets elsewhere in the house.

I love IKEA! They have so much great stuff for every room in the house! My sewing table came from IKEA in VA many years ago and we have one in Charlotte now and I always check the discount section first. I recently found fabric yardage there - precut, 100% cotton 47" x 118" in several kiddie patterns for 7.99

I bought the SKUBB hanging organizer http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50188957 and the matching SKUBB boxes. The boxes fit snuggly in the spaces. I use it for storing fat quarters and it keep them clean. I love it! It's the best & cheapest storage idea (for me)!

In Arizona where I live, fine dirt/silt is a problem. It's frequently windy here. In New Mexico they refer to the dust as "Enchantment". NM is called The Land of Enchantment). Here it's just dirt/dust/silt :)
