Messy, but at the same time clean.. can you spill a drink and leave some empty wrappers around please.

My working area is anywhere in the house. I store my pieces at my desk and take them at the lighting studio in my brother's room. My papers are also on my desk.

Looking for a possibility to store all those packs of 15cm Origami paper we visited IKEA today and came back with a Benno CD Shelf. Thanks to the adjustable height of the different compartments it can be easily turned from a CD Shelf into a paper storage device.

It also goes well with our PAX Wardrobe where we store our tissue paper and other bigger sheets on trouser hangers

Nice idea! I'm mainly drooling at your assortment of paper though...

Here's my updated paper storage:

I've also got some large sheets of elephant hide and pergamyn, which don't fit into the shelf, but other than that, that's it.

Here's a quick overview:

top shelf:
front, left to right: 35cm squares from Terry's shop (foil paper and tant, I think), 19.5cm squares of pergamyn, 15cm squares white/colour
back, left to right: 4cm squares, 7cm squares, 7.5cm and 11.5cm squares, 15cm squares patterned or duo

2nd shelf from top:
front: paper for videos or test folds, tissue foil and foil papers
back (not visible): A4 sheets, pseudo-bills, inaccurately cut 3.75cm squares (for giveaways or test folds)

3rd shelf from top:
front: non-bleeding tissue paper (sheets and rolls), roll of wide foil
back (not visible): some hand-made paper (A4, 110gsm)

4th shelf from top:
front: bleeding tissue paper
back (not visible): Kraft paper (18gsm)

5th shelf from top:
stencils

bottom shelf:
paper that's hard to work with, paper I use for my background in the videos (I change it after almost every video because there are usually marks from my pens on it)

Where is the fancy, thick handmade stuff kept?

Hehe, my "work area" is a table at school, one side of my origami binder (other side is paper storage and inside has diagrams, mostly free pdfs i've found online) or the bathroom floor at my grandparents house. (for larger stuff, big bathroom:P) . As for paper I still do stuff with your standard 6x6 in paper you buy at a store and two roles of craft paper. Im still not good enough to warrant any expensive origamido or other expensive papers.

Brown colored paper- Kraft paper
Silvery paper- Brown paper
Grey colored paper- Rice paper
White paper- Newsprint
Yellow box- Methylcellulose
Spotted box- Specialty papers such as Thai silk, caligraphy paper, mammal paper, butter paper and tissue paper
Hidden- The crumpled paper is hidden by the other papers.
The photo below shows is more clearly. The red colored paper is the crumpled paper.

Here is the paper I picked up in America (ages ago). I have no-where at all to store it, so at the moment it's just sitting on the floor in one of the bedrooms.

From left to right: Black Unryu, Cream Unryu, Yellow Unryu, Dark Green Unryu, Light Green Unryu, Black Unryu, Cream Unryu, Kozo, Kozo, Red Unryu, Red Unryu

I just kinda throw my origami all over the place... For large models/trimming tissue foil, I just go downstairs into my living room, onto the hardwood floors. For smaller stuff, I just kinda sit at my desk

Here now a complete panorama (manually stitched together from 5 photos) of our Origami room (mainly used for paper preparation and storage).
