It's the new year, so why not--along with tackling all those UFOs--make yourself a promise to organize your work space too. A nice, organized work space might be just the boost you need to tackle those wayward projects. If you aren't sure where to start, try some of these great tips:

1. Use your vertical space to keep items within reach, but off floor and table surfaces.
2. Keep a unified color scheme for all major elements (walls, carpet, window coverings, basket systems, etc.). Introduce color with specific items in limited areas only. This unified look keeps the space from becoming too distracting.
3. Keep most of your organizational items (wire baskets, shelving, tables, etc.) in the same color scheme so that everything mixes well, regardless of manufacturer.
4. Look at this great tip from Bernina's We All Sew for stashing your stabilizer. It's a hanging shoe storage rack.
5. Check out more cleverly organized studios by Libby Lehman (Episodes 112 + 513) and Jacquie Gering (Episode 1202).  Both artists work in a relatively small space, but have clever ideas for using every square inch.
