Oh gee whiz. Are we twins separated at birth? I have the same thing going on in my basement. (Minus the hubby nerd cave. Although the teenage daughter is working on her own video gaming nerd cave.)

Seriously. Glass bottle collections, miles of fabric, and lots of visual display. I really like what you're doing to get it all on order.

I'm also doing the plastic shoebox thing on shelves in my Girl Cave (basement craft/sewing area) but I wonder - are you organizing by craft supply item or by craft project? For now, I'm organizing both ways, sort of. Supplies are things like: Glues, Paints, Ribbon (6 boxes, organized by color)... and then the rest of the stuff is by project: Xmas ornament supplies, Decopauge, fridge magnets (hot glue, google eyes, bottle caps, rocks, seashells, glass bubbles), Tie dye, picture frame decorating, earrings, packaging, etc, and all the fabric fat quarters or smaller are organized by color family.

Every time we move, someone starts commenting on how I have SO MUCH STUFF and I keep thinking if I can organize it better and better, then it won't seem like so much. (I'm sure I'm only kidding myself.) Like you, when the zombie apocalypse comes, we'll be ready. We even have an enormous stash of canned green beans and stove top stuffing. Don't ask.

Anyway, thank you for sharing what you're doing to organize your stash of craft supplies. Your ideas never fail to inspire me.
