I have spent the last week reorganizing, renovating, and down-sizing in the quilt lab. I got rid of an old dresser where I stored fabrics. It was not ideal storage because I had to rummage through to find just the fabric I wanted. I found storage cupboards on Amazon and, with some help from my sons, assembled them. The cupboards have tons of storage space. I have reproduction fabrics in one and antique fabrics in the other.
Here is a stack of little quilts I have made over the years. I can enjoy them whenever I open the doors instead of having them stashed away in a drawer.
Vintage sewing box with reproduction velvet strawberries.
Storage drawers under the work table hidden by a shower curtain from Target. I just loved the colors so cut it down to fit.
It was also fun to decorate the top of the cupboards.
Here are views of the rest of the quilt lab.
How refreshing to organize so beautifully. Thanks for the antique scraps. I will try to organize them as well as you have!
ReplyDeleteI believe I would feel right at home in your quilt lab! A gratifying feeling to be organized....:)
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I'm sure you will enjoy your space more. Now, the question is, "How long will it stay that neat?" With your organizational skills, probably a long time! Wish mine looked half that nice; right now it's a total mess! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteI bet it is fun to work in there now! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a project! Great looking cabinets. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to do and makes me happy!
DeleteLooks wonderful, Ann. A pleasant place to spend your extra post-retirement hours!
ReplyDeleteThe Quilt Lab is looking fabulous! I'm sure you must enjoy creating in that space.
ReplyDeleteThe Lab is looking good. I like the idea of the curtain. I have a grungy set of shelves that could do with a spruce up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann. Time to make some quilts!
DeleteThe cupboards are great and everything looks very organized and neat!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful. We do have to take stock from time to time about how we use our space and how best to organize it. I really like that large floss and needle you have as decoration.
ReplyDeleteFantastic space, and I love the antique sewing accessories!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit a bit of sewing /creating space envy! It looks wonderful! Love the red and green quilt on the wall too!! Enjoy your newly organized room aaand newly aquired time.
