Congrats on your new baby!
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.

You'll enjoy it I still have the first janome I bought when they were called New Home. Have bought two more since.

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.
