I really like that IKEA storage. What size are the drawers please? I think I would need two back to back. I have the space. I used to use the basket storage too, but the cats like it too. :cry:

You will really enjoy working in there more now than ever. Love the shabby chic look. Love your avatar roses. Very pretty.

Hope you don't mind I turned the picture.

The 5 " is measured at the drawer front, the drawer sides are a little lower. Fat quarters can be folded in 3rds and fit great. I slid 3 underbed plastic boxes under it, too. I also put 4 of those Moving Man sliders under the legs and it slides great on the carpet, especially for something so big and heavy

Don't I wish! Actually my new Mid Year Resolution is to buy nothing I don't absolutely need, fabric-wise. And not to subsitute buying quilting patterns and gadgets for fabric, even though they take up less space. My Mom keeps threatening to leave me her fabric stash. I know I don't have room for both.

Thanks for answering our ?. It really is a great room; I keep thinking how can I make my space better. Yours is an inspiration!
