Twice monthly friends get together to visit, sew and have a light lunch. I definitely need to consider a table for a friend to use. That's a terrific idea!
Do you have the impression that I am leaning toward the larger area?
Costs would involve an additional hot air vent cut in existing venting, moderately priced vacuum and 100 bucks for shelving. We use the modular shelving in the storage areas/workshop and it works out nicely.
I need to get a good night of sleep and get something done tomorrow. Yes, I will take before and after pictures :-)
This doesn't have to be done in a snap, but is a good reason to finish off the downsizing project.
Thanks for your support. I wasn't getting much feedback from talking to myself!!! Hehe
IKEA has some nice affordable shelving systems. The wire baskets will not rust and let you see what is in there. You can order online.
Lifetime makes some nice tables. I have 2 - 4 ft x 2 ft tables with legs that fold and are adjustable to 3 different heights. Perfect for cutting or friends over to sew, due to the height adjustible legs. I found some on locally at Sam's Club but you can also find them online at Overstock.com.
Home building stores and such have seconds on wall cabinets or bases that might be slightly scratched or without enough of a matching set to sell for full price.
