Workroom storage

I hope everyone is having a great day!  I had the day off from work and aside form the usual cleaning and laundry, I found time to work on a stained glass window that I have wanted to do for our entryway.  I'm waiting for the caulk to dry before I can hang it, so I thought I share some work room storage ideas.  I have a fairly small space to work in....part of a guest bedroom so I have had to be creative in my storage solutions.
I found this little cart at a second hand store that was going out of business.  Scored a great deal....$5!!!  My husband made the glass storage rack for me.  A piece of plywood covered in a padded vinyl with holes drilled for some dowels.  The dowels keep the glass upright. 
I found these carousel trays at our local Fleet Farm.  They were only about $4.00 each.  They are perfect for small pieces like charms, beads, jump rings and small scrap glass.  These would work out great for a number of small items....make up, nail polish, small hardware items, jewelry making.
I use this old tool chest from my Dad for storing washi tape, small tools, business cards, post cards and other small items I might want to use for a project.  I also have a few favorite items on top!  I like to have some inspiration around me!
I have a few narrow shelves above my work bench.  I use old jars and candle holders for markers, brushes and other tools.  Along with lots of photos and trinkets!.  My work bench is well loved, as you can see.  It is a freestanding kitchen cabinet from Ikea with drawers and shelves.  That is part of my window on the bench waiting to be foiled and soldered.
I will post pics when it is ready for hanging.  We are refreshing our entryway....finally!  There is a bit of a construction project that my husband is doing.  Can't wait to show the results!
