Think Outside the Cardboard Box
Tackle clutter with canvas collapsible containers. You can find them at Amazon
They come in pretty colors too like this Simply Shabby Chic™ Canvas Storage Bin in Rose fabric.
Here’s some fun storage boxes from West Elm (out of my price range but this gave me the idea to decorate my boxes. If I figure out how I’ll let you know).
Ikea has some unique boxes and great prices.
The Container Store has several options.

These look great! I’m definitely going to look into these…if my husband ever puts up the shelves in my sewing room! Maybe I’ll have to do it myself…
