I store some of my stash in my sewing area (messy: closet is 5'x8') and the rest under my long arm in plastic bins. Cabinets would be wonderful! And just having everything in the same room would be great!
That's where I'm at right now. I have 1 old junky metal sewing cabinet with one sewing machine on it, I have to use the kitchen table for my cutting mat, I have my other sewing machines put away(no room right now). I have three book shelf cabinets that have my stuff in it and they are all in different rooms(one is in my walk in closet...lol), and I have bins in almost every room with fabric in them. It's very frustrating to start something because I don't know where anything is and I have to dig for stuff. I have the potential of being organized, but just need the room to do it. I hope one day, you will get to have everything in one room....is there a way you could knock out a wall and make one big room??? That could be an option is your house is layed out the right way.
I could, but I have family that come from time to time and I have to have bed space. The long arm room is just on the other side of the carport and I would like to put a door through and make a large room out of the carport. Then I could put a TV and the futon in the long arm room and perhaps move the office (desk and computer) also in there and have a den/bedroom. Then the office could go back to being a bedroom. Probably wishful thinking, but I do have a plan! I have 3 married kids and 6 grandchildren so far. The older 3 are in college and beginning to bring home "friends", so I may have great grandkids in a few years. My big argument with DH is that "we need the room"!
If you get the tv, futon, long arm, and computer in one room...would you ever leave???? Lol...that's why my computer is staying in the kitchen, so I will have to come out of the once in a while...lol.
