organizing ideas

So lately I've been re-organizing everything in my life: my career options, my dishes, my bathroom, everything.  As some of you know, I have a scarf obsession, and they are currently spilling out of their cloth storage box.  I need a new solution.  I considered pretty hat boxes, but if the scarves are all shut away, then I won't see them and hence won't wear them.  I also need storage solutions for my fellow obsessions: tights, foundation garments, and socks.  My earrings have been relegated to an open-format jewelry organizer tray, but I really could use more organization for my necklaces.  Currently, I'm storing them in plastic baggies (to keep them from tangling) in a drawer.  Not getting any wear out of them lately, partially because it's winter and necklaces get COLD when you're outside waiting for the bus (which always runs late), and partially because I can't see them.

Below is some ideas that I've been considering:

Scarf hangers!

Towel racks!

I've also toyed with the idea of keeping them in a storage bin, like I do now, only buying a bigger one.  For my foundation garments, I may still do the hat box thing.  The other idea that my Mom had was to get a storage bench sturdy enough to sit on, and put dividers inside to keep bras/panties/socks/tights separate.  My concern with that method is the tendency I have to not always put my clothes away properly (i..e. throwing them on the nearest surface until a pile forms).  Any other ideas?
