With the room redo, I was looking for a way to consolidate my "finishing touches" embellishments. I had the wood veneers in one spot, brads were all over the place, enamel dots were stored with collections and I didn't have a place for the flair. I had looked at this Creative Options tower before, but wasn't willing to pay $60 for it, or even $36 with a coupon. Joanns had it on a 1 day deal for $19.99 and I was able to snag one at the local store. I just wish it wasn't pink and puke green. Maybe I'll paint it at some point.

First thing I did was break the enamel dots down by color in 4x6 zipper bags from the beading/jewelry making section of Hobby Lobby. I originally had them in the top section, but switched that to just containers of flair. The containers were $1 each from Walmart.
Wood veneer went in the top pull out tray. I like that it stores everything in one section, versus the 3 trays I previously had them in.
And packages of brads went in the third pull out tray. I'm not quite ready to break the packages apart yet.
The entire (heavy) case sits on top of the armoire next to my desk and I can reach up and pull it down, set it on my stool, and pull out what I need to finish off a layout. I'm loving it so far (except the colors, lol.)
