She got paint on someof it.
I have an old dresser I found in a yardsale for $10 back last year. I am going to paint it and store material in it. I have an extra gift wrap holder and a shoe bag to hang to put supplies in as I accquire them. I am going to use my old desk with three drawers for my sewing table. I am also going to use a fold up table to use for when I need to cut from yardage for big projects like borders, etc. I shall finally have a room of my own after being here for almost 23 years. This is my Christmas present to me and all those I will help with my sewing. My stash is low, very low but I hope I can build over the years.
My daughter in law is going to try to get pictures for me.

How wonderful!! When our only son moved I had a whole upper story of our 1 1/2 story for my sewing room. I no longer had to take it out and put it away. Now due to a motorcycle accident we had to arrange the main part of the house and bring the sewing room downstairs since stairs are on longer my friend. I miss the quiet of upstairs but I still have a place of my own. Enjoy you deserve it.
