A hanging shoe cubby in a closet would work as well. I’ve seen organized knitting spaces that used shoe cubbies mounted on the wall for storing yarn.

Love the photos, everything is so organized, looks like supplies are easy to find. Also, it looks warm and inviting.

I'm so envious. This work space is beautiful. Maybe when we're empty nesters, I'll get a room of my very own. Oh, how I wish I had a room of my own for my crafts! I’m so envious.

There are also pictures that show lockers on the other side of the room to hold extra supplies.

I forget, but I maybe I will post my solution to my knitting clutter once I find a solution.

They are very easy to make and plans can be found in most books on raising poultry. We made them for our chicken coop. This space is fantastic. Like DJ, the warmth and personality of the space make it seem like an enjoyable place to be without being cluttered. I really like the use of the wall space and mixing art with utility. My own sewing place is in a loft area with very little wall space. I've not yet finished developing the space and really enjoy gleaning ideas from others' work areas. @savvy – the cubby things on the wall are a type of chicken rooster where the hens lay their eggs.

I can only wish my workspace were as lovely, warm, and organized as this one. I love how she mixed and matched all the old pieces with new things, and the colors. I've been eying the Elfa wall systems for my office space for a long time, but have held off on getting one primarily because I felt they look too utilitarian and cold. I had just about convinced myself that I was wrong, when along comes this space to make me realize I do want something more personal and warm. Now I just have to start making it happen. : ) Sha-Zaam!
