Guess I'm not awake yet, as I thought you meant the lighthouse (duh), but now I get it, what a perfect place to sew threads, notions and projects. I have very limited sewing space, so I have to put everything away when I go to bed, which is my "extra space" when I'm sewing.

It's very pretty. Here in the North West, there are always little cabinets like this for sale on CL. What people don't know though is that often they were built with wood or plywood scraps brought home from the mills. Back in the 30's and 40s there were a lot of mill workers who were also quite handy at furniture making. I have a few pieces that my Grandfather and my Uncle's father built back then.
