Great ideas. Keep them coming! I'm still drooling over the map cabinets, myself.

So far, I've gone with plastic boxes with fixed dividers. They have 25 compartments each and I have 10 of them. They are roughly organized by material. I like their portability (they came with a case to carry 5 of them in) but I don't like that I can't take out a specific box or drawer. I have each compartment identified with a location which is entered into my inventory software.

I bought this recently from Ikea and now have it set up in the kitchen. Much better to make jewelry upstairs than in the basement studio. I love it because when I'm done working, the desktop folds up and the mess is hidden rather than taking up my kitchen table. Lots of storage too.
