This weekend I'm going to pick out 25 sewing machine cabinets I want to keep, and then start working on rehoming the rest. I'm not sure if I'll be able to fit them all in but it will force me to make some choices. I want to dedicate a nice section of the vaulted wall for a design wall, so I have to leave that part open.
For the LA room, I want to put the machine so I'm facing the doorway when using it, so that means I can put shelves for my sewing machine collection along the vaulted wall, and should have room for 9 shelf units and can put 6-7 machine on each shelf - so that will hold 50-60 machines. I have them displayed on shelves like that already so I know it works. I'll have plenty of room on the working side of the LA for cabinets and storage for my LA supplies. And there will be a nice place on the door end of the room for a thread cabinet that I can swing open. DH will be making that - if I can design it for him, he can build it. We've both got lots of experience designing and building cabinets, and have all the tools. Will give DH something to do in his big heated shop this winter!
