Gotta love Craigslist!!
 

I've been following this organization board forever. We're finally building our new garage and it's going to have a bonus room above it that will be my quilting studio. My "Garottage"! It's not even going to be started until this fall but I'm so excited (AND impatient!!). Anyway, I've been reading the threads about fabric storage, right now my stash is on comic book boards in clear totes sorted by color. When I have my room I wanted to get cabinets like "upper" kitchen cabinets. I'd read the thread about not wanting them too deep. I thought about bookshelves but I wanted doors - - Anyway, look what I scored on Craigslist! I can't wait to get them in my room and filled with my fabric!

They're 8 feet high and combined 10 feet wide. About 12" deep. That's 80 square feet of storage for my stash!!! I can't wait!! Just HAD to share!

Awesome!:thumbup:

Wow! Those will be wonderful. Great score!

nice score

You really scored BIG!!! I would be excited too!

WOW - great deal you will be prepared

Nice find! They will be great.

very nice.

I remember the thread and wow, you did good! I for one, want to watch the progress of your studio so please share the build with us.
peace

Wow, great find. They'll hold a ton of fabric.

Wow! Those are great!! It's going to be even better when it's your stash's new home!

That is a major score! Congratulations. You will so enjoy opening all those doors and seeing rows of neatly folded materials just waiting to be chosen for your next project.

Those are gorgeous! Great find!

I better start watching Craigslist. I'm going out next week to look at the insides of a couple properties. Both have one very large bedroom that will make great sewing rooms once cabinetry is installed.

I agree- awesome score!

wonderful find. Its going to be terrific.

These are just beautiful. I can imagine what they will look like with various colors in those glass doors.

Perfect! I want some. .;-)

So so excited for you!!!!

You SCORED!!! I love craigslist, you can find all kinds of great things for good prices. Have fun playing with your new stash storage!!!

Now that is a great score .. Be sure to show us pictures of your room when its done !

They are gorgeous! Congratulations on your score!

They are beautiful! You did great. Enjoy your new room.

Wonderful! They should work very well.

That is a terrific find, and congratulations on your "Garottage".

Such a cute name for your own private space. I love it. And you really did score on the cabinetry. I thought I did well with mine several years ago, but mine are all open shelves, and looks cluttered all the time because I don't have doors to shut it off. Even doors with windows would be better than what I have. But I can't handle all the makeover process, so I am going to just make do with what I have. Good luck, and do let us watch as you go along.

Great, just cover those glass doors with something...film, fabric etc. because the light WILL FADE your fabric. You'll get fade lines. Can't tell you how much fabric I've received from people that has been ruined from the light. I think they'll function fabulously.

amazing score

Those are perfect for fabric AND they are beautiful!

Love the cabinetry.PS JoAnn- I only have open shelving also, but found some great curtains at a yard sale. Put them up with tension rods. It keeps the light from fading fabrics.

I LOVE Craigslist! So much so that practically every piece of furniture I have in my house came from there. That included the maple vanity I painted and put a piece of 4' X 4' melamine board on top of to turn it into a larger sewing table, the chest of drawers I got to put my denim and upholstery fabric in, a wall cabinet for my specialty threads and ribbon, and the sewing/craft table I have for my Featherweight. I paid a grand total of $110 for ALL of it! I check it every day to see if there is anything I need/want, and I wait until I find something in good shape at a reasonable price. It's da bomb!!! :D

Those cabinets are just the ticket and not only do they store your fabric but look awesome doing it.

Great find! They'll look spectacular filled with your stash!

How wonderful! You'll have a very well organized quilt room.

Wow! What great storage!

LaughingQuilter : I love the cabinets just be sure to seal the wood inside so It doesn't discolor your fabric. DottieBug

WOW! That is just about the best score I've ever seen from C's list.

DottieBug: thanks for the tip - - that's a really good idea....I'll have plenty of time to do that while I'm (IM)patiently waiting for the construction to start! LOL :o

What a wonderful find and they look so nice too!

How wonderful! You not only have the plans in progress for your quilting haven, but can start organizing your stash for the wall units. Thanks for sharing your joy. :o)
