It might be something that you have re-purposed to use in your sewing area; it might be an inexpensive notion or an expensive piece of furniture. I want to know what I should look for to add!
I am excited that I will no longer be sewing on the dining room table and will be able to keep things set up all the time.
Thank you for asking that question! I just had my contractor take the 1960s out of my playroom and bring it up to 2010! It will now be my sewing/craft room (also used by my 6 and 8 year old grandsons when they visit). I wrote down all of the ideas and will shop, little by little for the "fillings". One other suggestion I am using. The BOTTOM shelves, which are hard for me to bend down to, will contain large plastic boxes with all of the toys and stuff for the boys! It's also a deterent to them climbing up to get things. They will have the use of the big tables when they are over as well. They think I am doing the room for them! It will also be my major 65th birthday in a few weeks and I have asked anyone who wants to get me something to make it something for that room. (Funny, for my 60th, before I started quilting, all I wanted was massages!) I am sooooooooooooo excited to get the room up and going BUT SLOWLY. I don't want to get something in a rush that I won't be happy about. The set up I have been using has worked well but this will be a lot brighter and a lot prettier! Thank you to everyone for the great suggestions. If I EVER learn how to post pictures, I will!
