And it I get too low on stash there's lots more to buy lol
I am seriously on a fabric diet though b/c I want my room to be useful to me and not just a storage room :D

lol, now I know what you mean!!! I seriously, have fabric and sewing stuff hiding everywhere. I have bins to go through tomorrow. I just went through some of it tonight. Glad I have the week off so I can get rid of some of this. I really do need it to all fit in one room.

You and I have the exact same setup. I do however have a Pennsylvania Blanket Chest in there which has a deep chest on top and a drawer in the bottom. I store in there as well as two plastic tubs in the closet.

I have taken over the "guest room" to store fabric and completed tops--trying to get it all organized by color, and type--since I have quite a bit of decorator/suiting/upholstery fabric, etc. I was going great guns till I found SEVEN more boxes I forgot I had---now I'm out of totes and cabinet space. there is now only a path to the bed, and I still have to clear off the bed as DD and GKs are coming today---cannot believe how mu;ch I had stashed in closets and corners!
I am going to put some on here soon!

I converted a spare bedroom into my fabric room. I lined the walls with floor to ceiling shelves and have one row going down the middle of the room. We are in the process of converting our living room into my sewing area. We spend most of our evenings in the family room anyway so we really do not need the living room.
