This is fantastic way to see and cover your thread.. like that turntable idea too...

When my neighbor redid her kitchen, I put her old cabinets, sans doors, on the walls of my sewing room. All the Tupperware & Rubbermaid containers that have 'lost' their tops hold sewing notions. I cut up a cutting mat I bought on sale & made a rotary mat by putting it on top of a kitchen rotary I found at a thrift store. I use another part of the mat at my sewing table when I'm paper piecing for triming. I cut a small piece to take in my portable kit to classes.

My work table is an old tobacco grading table I found in my parents barn. It was 6 foot and has a bench on one side. Just the right size to sit at and work. A friend has some counter top left from a job & put it on top extending the top to 48 inches! Makes a great table to work or sit at.

I have 2 sets of bed elevators that I got at Good Will. They were under two dollars each set....I find a lot of treasures at the thrift stores...my neighbor and I go every Wednesday, senior day...Good will is 25 percent off...

Thanks for the idea with the bed risers, I was watching my painter like a hawk for empty cans, I'm thinking the risers will be better support than the empty cans.

That is a good one.lol hehehe

Dishwasher in Sewing Room
 

Purchased a "hook to sink" dishwasher on wheels cheap to have installed as soon as my built -in died. Well, it is still going, but the new one has rolled into the sewing room. It makes a wonderful cutting table with its wood top, but I also have an old formica table top which I add for big projects. It is wonderfully stable and rolls well. There is storage inside, also. I have old dishwasher racks on the wall to hold spools/cones of thread.

HHHMMMMM me thinks you could hide your valuables in there - no crook in his right mind would look in there... well, maybe.

practically my whole house is full of re-purposed items.
Come to think of it, I used to be something else too :D

I bought an old drying rack I put in my sewing room to use for strips when doing a log cabin. I've never taken it down, I hang cut pieces of fabric for projects, whole projects ready for quilting and leftover pieces from quilts in progress, so I don't use up the parts in case I need them. It's become a necessary accessory to my sewing room. I love thrift shop finds, I get template plastic, wire baskets (3 holding fat quarters), this weekend I got a Olifpa (not sure that's how it's spelled) ruler 5"x24" the one with the lip for the side of the cutting table for $.50. This girl loves a bargain.
