This week my DH decided to organize my sewing room as it overfloweth with fabric, etc. Out came the quilting frame. Right now, everything is on the west side of the room. In huge stacks, as tall as my head. He just added a work table on the east wall, and a chest of drawers on the north wall. He is hanging pegboard on the closet door, which is located on the south wall. The room is 8 x 10.
I will post pix as soon as I can borrow a camera.
Your hubby has the right idea! Maybe this idea will help?
I went to wallmart a long time ago and bought 24 plastic file boxes, I also got 6 platforms approximately the size of the bottoms of the crates and put 4 wheels on each of them (like a plant stand) and fastened them to the bottom of six crates. I sorted the fabrics into colors and folded them into the crates, and stacked them 4 high. They hold an amazing amount of fabric and do not take up much floor space...along a wall or in a corner. Actually I am lucky because they all fit into a largish closet...just wheel the stacks around in and out. My room is about the same size as yours.
I can find absolutely any piece of fabric in less than five minutes!
I put all the notions together,and all the many many spools of thread in a chest of drawers.
(I wish I had a pegboard to hang my rulers on)
