Armoire Turned Craft Chest
There are lots of wall hung organizers that will store your stuff...pegboard is not just hooks to hang things... there are wire baskets and shelves as well.
Get some graph paper and plan the room or the organizer according to the supplies you need to store. Color those "areas" on a separate sheet of graph paper and cut them out.... Photo copy your basic room plan, doors, windows, etc. so you don't have to re-draw it over and over. Use the colored elements to arrange the space and photo copy each new arrangement to compare later.
There are some inexpensive organizers (open or with bins) that could help you with your space. Here is one from Closet Maid (Walmart sells a similar one) there are nine cubbys and the units are 36 in tall X 36 in wide X 12 in deep
This is a good way to organize-
Before you do anything, list what you need space for, and how big you need the storage to be. Don't forget to include some working space!
i went to Habiatat for Humanity Restore and bought kitchen cabinets with pull out drawers. I painted it and it looks awesome plus the cabinets are real wood. Plenty of storage space and looks like a nice piece of furniture. I usually look for pantry style cabinets but I’ve also found lower cabinets with pullouts. I bought butcher block for the top and now it’s just like a sideboard in my dining room with all my craft things hidden away.
