I am still working on making my sewing room comfy. I bought a "like new" Ikea desk at a yard sale for $25 and turned it into an ironing stand. Hubby made the platform to go below it so it is height I need, it also adds storage. I stapled the batting and fabric for the ironing board into place, using a top layer with fewer staples that can be removed easily to wash it. The drawers are perfect for storing thread. I'm going to section them as necessary by putting weather-stripping along the sides and cutting thin pieces of wood to wedge between the strips. My extra sewing machines will be stored underneath and you can see my little arm/leg ironing board hangs on brackets in that space too. The iron rack will be installed also.

We also hung a peg board for the rulers (another great yard sale find; $3.00 including all the hangers, painted to look spiffy):

I bought a nice big bullitin board to use as design wall but I haven't decided where to hang it yet. I may just glue it to the back of the door.
