I have old dressers and shelves in my garage. I made a big U shape out of all of them, so I use half of the garage for storage/organization and the other half is a workout area. The dressers create a wall between the two area.

In the dressers I have put recycled carboard boxes as dividers and they hold all of my small art/craft/misc pieces. I also have some drawers without boxes for larger paper supplies, etc.

On the shelves, I use clear rubbermaid totes and clear rubbermaid shoe boxes for materials organized and label the front of them so I can see what each box holds. Each shelf holds materials for different spaces: Math/Science, Dramatic PLay, etc.

I also have a table and a desk in the space for prep work.
