I store my fabric in an old "country" cupboard that my Dad rescued from my grandfather's basement. He had it stripped and refinished, and it appraised for something like $1600.00 (with mostly original hardware). He used it for years in his country kitchen. He handed it down to my sister, who eventually decided it wasn't quite right in her home. Well it suits my old, simple, colonial-style home perfectly! I used it in my country kitchen for quite a few years before we remodeled, and now it's wonderful for fabric.
When it stood in the kitchen, my DH used to look at it and talk about how poorly it was constructed. Over the years he has warmed up to it, and decided he would like to make another one some day. We're still a little cramped for space, but maybe when my DS moves out, there will be room for another, and I would welcome it!
