New Baskets and stackers
Moved most of the tools off of the table......
.... and into the little rolling cart. The table has only hte things that I use all the time. The things I reach for nearly as often whether claying or stamping are now in the rolling cart. This gives me tons of free space on the table - I can do clay stuff or paper stuff without running out of elbow room. 
Replaced that student desk!
I pulled the dark desk out of this corner and it holds instead - tada! - four tall stackers with lots of "stuff" neatly organized! Most of the inks are in the back corner - the white stackers contain the things I use the most with clay - cutters, texture, button molds, pulvers & powders, foils, stamps, oil paints, acrylic paints, Pinata inks, finishes. 
Starting on the left side
Rolling stackers filled with tools I don't use very often, millefiori canes, mokume gane pads, blended sheets, etc. Then two stackers with unwrapped clay sorted by color family. Paper stock, grids, sheets of glass, then a tall stacker full of paints, pastels, foils and two drawers of mica powders. 
Utility cart full of jewelry stuff
Beads, wire, glues, beads, jewelry tools, storage containers and did I mention beads?
The proverbial 4" square of workspace
No matter how big the table, we end up working in a tiny little clear area. This one is surrounded by color-corrected lamps, the oven, most-used tools, clay still in wrappers, more canes and sheets, pasta machines, camera, rollers and brayers.
The hellhole
The corner I rarely have to dig into, thank heavens! More clay, more inclusions, stamps, textures, tools, tools, tools. To the right of this area is the computer, scanner, printer, etc... but I ain't showing that. ;-)
