Organizing in Small Spaces

We have been in this house for almost 2 years, and I'm still organizing! Our latest project has been trying to find a good space for all our arts and crafts materials. You know, crayons, markers, glue, scissors, paper, etc. I knew I wanted to keep it all downstairs and somewhere near the kitchen, but WHERE? All the spacious closets are upstairs. I came up with the idea of using our 2nd pantry that we created when we redid the kitchen. It was originally the under-the-stairs coat closet, but the door was moved into the kitchen making it a nice little storage space. We now have a new coat closet. But, what to do? My thought was to hang a couple of shelves on the wall so I could store some plastic boxes on it with all the "stuff." Enter, my incredibly handy and creative husband. Here's what he made me. I LOVE it!!! And, on the opposite wall, I hung all my cleaning utensils (swiffer, broom, etc.)
