Anyone have any ideas on how to store rulers and still have easy access to them? I have several different sizes, shapes and have tried a folder rack from an office supply store, but the small and odd shaped ones just fall through if I move the rack. No room on wall for pegboard. Any ideas?

My daughter is moving into her apartment today..........starting tomorrow, my son will move into her old room, then I will take his old room for my sewing room. The fun is about to begin! All my stash from my mom will come out. Yea! Then combined with my own. Can't wait to get it done to take pics and show you all.......I plan to put my frame in front of a bay window looking out into my front yard, my sewing table in front of another window overlooking where my son likes to play outside, bring in my shelves to house my stash, keeping my bolts in the closet. DH is going to make me a cutting/ironing table for the middle of the room. The south wall will be for a design wall..........I have plans! Hope it all works out.......

I also bought some of the removable tabs and places them on the side of a dresser I use for the smaller rulers with holes.

My daughter helped me organize this past weekend. The fabric is all folded and on a shelving unit. The tubs are ALL empty. It's a wonderful feeling walking the the shelves and seeing it all lined up by color and ready to go. Hmmm. thinking of more projects ....
