SHELVES IN SEWING ROOM
#1
Is there anyone that puts a curtain on the front of their shelves that hold their containers of fabric and all other sewing stuff?
I have finally straighten my sewing room (thanks to you ladies and your ideas and your finished pictures of your rooms. Finally got me off my butt and I did mine. (I will post pics of before and after later.)
I walk in my room now and my eye goes to the wall with the huge shelving on it, and even though it is straighten, I don't want that to be the center point of the room, so I am thinking of hanging curtains on it.
What do you think?

Well, so far I have tried two, one was a solid fabric way too dark in color, that has to go back. Then I had a pair of textured sheers in a white, (they were on their way to Goodwill) so I thought I will dye them, I tried coffee dye first, didn't work, so then I tried a light wine color. Well, they came out way pink (even washed them several times) so now Goodwill gets pink curtians instead of white. Still looking for the right color without spending a fortune. Buying them is cheaper than getting material and making them.
Ah, another journey to travel.

I would use a tension rod on each shelf and use a different print or color fabric for each shelf. Kind of a ruffled look! Or just put the tension rod on the second shelf to cover the bottom shelves and put a display on the first shelf. I did this in my home office. I could not stand to look at the misc books (hubbies) on the shelves and the visual clutter was getting to me. Sandy

I can understand that you don't want doors on there, but if you don't have a design wall, the doors can make a perfect design wall. If you don't want the doors, then your hanging fabric could double as a design wall, though you'd need to pin your pieces on because of the movement of the fabric ... better than nothing! :)
