I wonder why we assume that every New Year we can magically become and do all the things we've put off for the last umpty-ump years? I rarely make sweeping New Years resolutions because I beat myself up too badly when I don't make it happen. Instead, I set smaller, bite sized goals throughout the year. Then it's only a matter of little pinches instead of full out war on myself! LOL! One goal I am determined to make tho is the matter of the Stash. 
Geeesh, what a mess. I don't even have a good idea of what's in there anymore, and the shelves extend another 18 inches inside both sides of the closet opening. Every so often I pull something out from where it doesn't belong, and think "what were you thinking stuffing this gorgeous red in with the whites?" SO; it has to happen.
On the plus side is the cleaning I did the other day - I am SO enjoying this! The far end of the (72" long) cutting table seems to be a clutter kingdom, where lots of little lost things go to hide. This is a before pic, but not one taken at it's worst - do ya think I want photographic evidence of that???
Moving that dresser in eliminated a ton of clutter and inspired a little overhaul of the table top. Much less cluttered now and hopefully I can keep it like that. As soon as the cows come home.
On roller skates. 
May all your resolutions either come true, or vaporize and not nag you!

I'm glad to see that your stash closet is cluttery -- otherwise, I would think that you are neat as a pin. I don't ever want to photograph my sewing room when it's at it's worst (no photographic evidence - he-he), but that is when I am at my most creative.
Happy New Year, Kim
If you have not checked it out....you should see the pictures at Ami Simms website.

Makes me think I need to go work on organizing my fabrics which are piled on the window seat in my bedroom right now. What a mess!
Su Bee, did you see my photos of my fabric closet/stash? I don't remember the exact date, but sugar girl, if you will go prowl through my archives and find those pics you will skip right over to the creative stuff and KNOW that your fabric stash is really quite neat and organized. ROFL I love your work table! And this ole gal is NOT making those resolutions that always linger in the back of my mind and I keep trying to sweep them under the rug. ROFL
NO resolutions for me either; at least none I'd say outloud 'cause then you "gotta" keep them! Perhaps one day I'll come "shop" in your stash closet!!!

I have the same shelves in my closet. If you roll your fabric like I did, you'll get more on the shelf and can see what you have. Here's a pic:
