    My storage cabinets are recycled metal (gov't. issue) attorney's bookshelfs. Each section is a seperate unit, I have 4. Regular Atty. bookshelfs are usually nice wood, but they all have the doors that lift up and slide in at the top. Originally they were gray metal. When I got them they were covered with contact paper in really bad shape. My DH stripped them and painted them pretty for me.

    I'd like to add that everything was done an a strict budget. All of my plastic storage bins are thrift store or yard sale finds. I have been collecting them all summer. My fabric storage units were also a yard sale find for only ten dollars. My metal sewing desk I got at a church sale for two dollars. I already had the wooden desk, the bookshelves, the desk chair and the dresser.

    Oh I already love it so much. I can't decide if I love the needle up/down or the adjustable speed the most. LOL

    I use my entertainment center for my fat quarters. It works great. You've done a really nice job.

    You can't possibly be referring to my Winter Wonderland out there can you? LOL I like that white stuff, it makes everything look so pretty. Well, ok, the first 2 or 3 feet of it. After that, it does get to be a bit much.

    I'm sure it won't be long before that's my favorite too. So far, I can still manage without that.
