I've just recently organized our family room book shelves by color. I really love this rainbow effect. I came across this idea from http://lovelydesign.blogspot.com/2010/02/zoe-and-fawn-giveaway.html she really has so many great ideas! I've been organizing everything lately and compartmentalizing all of my clutter. Since I am a collector and am constantly creating I have a need for all of the little things that I accumulate in the weirdest places. I even have a special place just for my thread that I waste from sewing projects. Well, "waste no more thread" I say. Anyway, here is our upstairs family space. The kids have the bottom shelves for their wooden blocks, which they stack and stick in the registers when I'm not looking. I love the sculptures they create and at the end of the day I can obsessively organize by color back into their proper place. It's lovely and practical.
