That looks so fun! I really want to try something like this but got scared away by the price (for now). With hoping to sell the house and move, It's probably best to wait. I really love having my embroidery machine going while I'm piecing. I have my setup so the embroidery machine is right behind me, and I can roll my chair around and be sitting at it instead of my piecing machine without having to get up.
Love your thread storage. Right now mine is all in drawers and it's not near as fun to find colors. I think I'd like a shallow cabinet that has thread inside and on the doors, so I can open it up wide and see everything. If I can design it, my husband can build it. But that will also have to wait until I know what where my sewing room is going to be.
