Still Organizing

I got another cubicle storage built and realized that the second one like this one would not really fit without making the room feel crowded.  So I returned it and will get a 6 cubicle storage instead.  I didn't have my 20% off coupon with me at the time of the return, so now I have to make another trip.  Blah.

I keep all of my beads in these plastic containers which I have labeled, but I don't think this is working for me.  I'm a visual person and this time around when I'm designing and creating pieces, I want to able to see several beads out.  I know some people use muffin tins and I like this idea.  I could pull off the tops of these plastic containers for a similar effect.  Don't really want to spend any more money.

I wanted to ask all of my jewelry designer blog mates for suggestions.  What works for you when you want to sit and create new designs?  What type of layout do you use for looking at your beads?  Thanks in advance, I would really appreciate any ideas.
