i regularly view craft rooms images online for inspiration and the Gallery section at Scrapbook.com. My latest find there is someone used a etagere, 2 tier cake stand for her NUVO drops. I had a small one in kitchen but took it to my craft area and it has the little bottles NUVO, Stickles, re-inkers etc.

One table is from officecentre and other is much smaller diy just fits next to bed lengthwise and in between the stack of drawers from demised trolley on top of 2 medium bins housing bits still to be sorted.
