Shelves or cabinets in craft room?

[egeiger]

If you have a craft room, what wall storage do you prefer? I currently have a huge IKEA desk in the room with a lot of storage totes. I'm either going to be adding shelving or cabinetry of some sort and can't decide if I want one, the other, or both. Would love to see pictures of your walls.

In the post further down about craft rooms, I had a long reply that also included

H just assembled two sets of these shelves for me, which I got on crazy sale for Christmas:

I have bins on the lower shelves of one of them that hold yarn. And I use scrapbook paper boxes to organize my fabrics on upper shelves so they are stacked neatly and don't get dusty or pet hair on them. I have some old crafty things my grandma made me on another shelf, some funky things that make me happy like some old records and my daughter's artwork on another. And then in the corner I have a dressform that was my grandma's.

I just got an Ikea Kallax unit for yarn and fabric. It holds *so* much in so little space:

I have the 4x4 IKEA shelves. Some shelves are for fabric, some have baskets of yarn, and some have file folders for patterns. I love it.

I have one of the great big wall filling Expedit cabinet, which is now sold as a slightly different, less wood using Kallax. It holds an immense amount of fabric, folded in quarters and then around comic book boards into mini bolts. Also, my serger fits on a shelf. Books too. It lives in my walkin closet in my sewing room. I want another one, but Ikea is 200 miles away and it's not a priority. Other fabric lives in sweater shelves that are fabric and hang on the rod, but they are falling off.
