quilting table from bookcases
 

They made this table with Ikea bookcases. http://www.ikeahackers.net/2012/06/q...h-storage.html

That is really neat. I booked marked it. Thanks for posting this!

Did you also see the quilting table idea? These are really great ideas! Thanks for the post.

Gosh, if I only had the room.

Wow you have a talented quilt table maker (?hubby). The table is awesome!

Love it and IKEA too! Saving it for my hubby.

I have the bookcases on the wall. I think 3 sets however my DH and DS said they would fit. i absolutly love them. My own little shop ! I love Ikea ! If I didnt' already have a great drop leaf antique table I use I'd certainly consider that one !

Wow! Thanks for sharing my dilemma. You saved me much head-scratching.

Oh, I wish I had room, for something like that!!! Hmmmmm . . . I wonder if just one bookcase, covered with plywood, would be a good ironing board. Maybe . . . .

The table is awesome! Wish I had the space though, but I'll bookmark it just in case. Thanks!

i like it. but i would round off the corners. put it my my save files. thanks for sharing

What a neat idea! Thanks for sharing!

OOOOOOOOOOOOhhh-that would take up so much less space than the mess I have-using 2 saw horses with batted plywood for ironing and old outdoor table for sewing (SIGH) Someday I'll have the quintessential sewing room-

wow i just spent 20 minutes on the site. great ideas for all over the home
thanks for posting

Wish, wish, wish. but no help

I've sent this to my DSIL who loves playing with wood.

I love it and it looks so much more sturdy then the table I use now from Joanns. The added storage space is a bonus. Thanks for sharing.

That is really nice!!

What a good idea. Thanks for sharing.

When I redid my kitchen, I used the old cabinets to do the same thing. Gave me closed storage & drawers!

What a great idea - I passed on a sewing table counter height for a small desk due to the cost ($75 vs $3,000 - I don't have cheap taste unfortunately) - however, this would be perfect. Glad I waited.

wow i like the tables setup that,s a good idea

Thank you tesspug for posting this. It is exactly what I want for my new quilting room. Just hope that size will fit. I have bookmarked that site. Once again thank you.

I wish I had seen that before we made mine.

I have 2 bookdcases with a hollow core door on the top of it for my cutting table. It is THE perfect height (for me anyway... I'm only 5', but...). I love it! My DH also tacked a yardstick along one long edge so I have that to measure with. It wasn't expensive to make & was all together in an afternoon (the bookshelves are just cheapies from WalMart so they had to be assembled).

Thanks for sharing....now, if I could only get my hubby to make one !!!

Ask him to go with you, to get the stuff. Then start working on it, yourself. It's like opening the hood of a car and looking at the engine. Men tend to just flock around, to play . . . uh, I mean help. :D
