When I converted a spare bedroom to my very own studio....I asked my husband to put shelving on one wall all the way to the ceiling. We choose to put up the metal strips on the walls (located on the studs for strength) and then purchased the metal brackets and added wood shelves of assorated sizes, 6,8,10,12 inch deep. I started out putting 'pretty things' on the shelves they now hold pattern boxes, containers of bindings, folded fabric. I love to be able to see what I need and reach out a touch it. All my 'good' quilting fabric is stored in clear plastic drawers, by color in closet away from light and dust.
