Just get yourself one of these little "chest-of-drawers" at Kmart or Target or Office Depot/Max. They sell for about $5-7, and hold at least 90 bottles. While your at it, get a packet of little labels for about $1 and write the color title on top of each bottle for quick finding.
You can also use old coffee cans for holding all sorts of tools, ie: paint brushes, files, tweezers, etc.

Cool, that'll work. I'll have to check to see how tall it is, but judging by the size of the paint bottles, it shouldn't be a problem.

I agree with Ken, just make sure you have one with supports that go across the bottom on the drawer and not along the top edges of the drawer. The weight of all the paint will make the drawer sag and there's no problem if the support is at the bottom.

I've got one almost exactly like Ken's.

Though i still have to organize my area, i have an old Kitchen drawer organizer to hold paints and stuff. It has one divider to seperate Acrylics from enamels(?).

I had thought about making the shelves larger, but I wanted to have at least a nice 3x2 work space (well, almost)... And of course, it had to fit in the space next to my computer desk.

I only see one problem with your work space, it's too clean compared to other ones I have seen!!! How about messing it up a bit to make it look a little bit more realistic!!!!!! #:-)

get an in tray system from work or buy one any use that you can either store paint on them or use it to organise your sprues so you always have the right one to hand i.e sprue a on the top ect

get your self a nice fishing box with the pull out bins . The tops aree great for storing paints and the bins are great for parts and tools what ever you want to store. I have three and use them for room and organazation. They are great and if you get the bigger ones they have extra little adjustible clear bins . I love um
