I have turned my small guest room into a stash room, while still being able to use it as a guest room (well, sort of, anyway). Here are some of the things I did.
- Desk for sewing machine, use drawers for small supplies (rotary blades, zippers, etc.) Big projects must be sewn on the dining table.
- 2-drawer file cabinet for medium supplies (elastic, ribbons, purse hardware.
- 3-drawer plastic cabinet (picked up for free) to store projects ready to start.
- replaced double bed with bunkbed. Bunkbed is 3 layers of storage - top for bulky but light items, lower (double!) for fabric & yarn in plastic tubs, underneath for general storage. Pattern rack hangs from the side rail of the upper bunk.
- Projects in progress in boxes under the window, covered with thick piece of fabric to avoid fading.
- Cheap felt with velcro to hang over bath curtain rod for design wall.
- cutting table in main bedroom - and I'm still not sure why DH let me get away with that!
- and DH put cubes in the closet, for my Christmas present a few years ago.
- plastic bags or containers, for keeping patterns with fabric, stored on the floor in boxes.
- narrow habitrail so I can get to things (habitrail rearranges to get to the corners ;-)

And now I can try some of the other ideas in this thread...
