I have similar cabinets in old house that I use for china. Now I'm kind of hoping they won't look right in the house we're moving too!!

yep, that's what i was doing while in an antique store. looking at furniture and thinking of where i could stash my fabric on all the shelves.

I love your shelving unit. Having someplace where you can see your fabric always makes it easier to pick from when you're ready to select fabric for a quilt.

A warning, I was told early on in my quilting life, that if you are storing your fabric on shelves, make sure they are not stained wood but painted shelves. It has something to do with the stain on the wood being absorbed by your fabric and staining it. Paint seals in the wood. If you prefer the wood look, make sure that you line the wood shelves before putting your fabric in it.

I saw something similar today that someone had put near the street for trash pickup. If only I had a truck!
