Studio re-do...

[aliaslaceygreen]

Attempt 4? 5?

I am hopelessly optimistic that the perfect studio set up will mean productive hours sewing and that little house elves will appear to fold and put back my stuff, if only it has a happy home to return to.....

This time, I decided I really needed a change...so DH and I went to IKEA for the day (such a sacrifice, I tell ya )
Here is the before photo.... and the After. (well, more like ---during....)

I got rid of the ironing board, because I couldn't keep containers under it. What ended up was always finding random bags to stuff into corners.

We bought the frames for two WALL mounted kitchen cabinets. The upper cabinet, not the base. And then a set of shelves. Put legs on the one (with a little adaptation) and then bought a piece of wood, 18x 48 and covered it with batting and then Teflon fabric.

I decided to get the second cabinet to fit under the cutting table.

All that is left for the moment, is to purchase more of the 12x12 scrapbooking containers. I really want everything to be in the same 2 or 3 containers, because if I fill up the shelves with them now, I know what space I have to work with.

Sitting under the ironing surface on the floor are totes full of scrap fabric. A whole other project!! On the wall to the left, which you cant see, are 4 shelves full of those same totes, that hold my yardage.

Another project will be sorting them out by color/type of fabric, but I figured I needed to get stuff contained first. I can finesse later....

Phew. Plus, I found some fabric I had been looking for!!!!!
