Trying to get organized

So I am trying to find a place for everything in our school room. Our school room has been an unfinished junk collecting basement, until my brother in law and Scott finished it. Then it was a finished junk collecting basement :-) Then it was a living room/computer room. Then when I was a daycare provider it was a playroom. Then it became a computer room/sleep room for daycare kids. Then after I was done with being a daycare provider it became a craft room (for me) and playroom. Now (haha) it is a school room. I still have my craft things in there, but I don't have it all out, and there are still toys in there, but I need something for brother bear to do while I get school stuff ready.
It's not a huge room, but it will work. Since there are space limitations I decided to explore new organization with stack able file holders. I figured I would get the stack able ones so I could add more if I needed someday and still save space.
It works well for us right now with just one kid.

This is an up close of how I organize the different pre-school activities.


Mom's side of the basement. See my desk, 25.00 Target shelves...yes I know homeschooling moms love love love IKEA, however, I 1. have never been to an actual store so I haven't ever had a chance to fall in love with their stuff and 2. Online there stuff looks to be out of my price range. I have had 1 of those white shelves for 7 years and the other for 3. They are doing well still :-)
We have a baby"gate" to keep brother bear out of my stuff.
 
This is the school side. You can see Sis's desk, her whiteboard, our calendar board, and here she is playing with her felt board and felt people. It is clean when we go downstairs and everyday when we are done it looks like this :-)
Other side of school side. We have a TV, Brother bear toys, small little workbox, and a bean bag for reading.
 
I'm sure it will have a drastic change when Brother bear is old enough to do school with us, but for now it works for us.
