Great way to reuse your old furniture!

Oh gosh! This looks great! For the wall space, I'd want at least one of these:

Wow that is great!!! Wish I had one of those and the space to put it! I see you have sitting on the top an Accuquilt. I have been thinking about one of these. Do you feel it is worth the purchase?

Thanks.

I LOVE IT! A fantastic ironing station WITH storage! I knew all that 50% off the clearance price home deco fabric I bought 2yrs ago was a good idea! I used a coordinating fabric to make a curtain for the stairwell closet (now all I need is shelves in there... work'n on it). It's so kewl to be converting the hallway in to an extension of it my sewing space! *giggles* I'm soooooooo excited about this! Now I need to figure out what to do w/the wall space... peg boards... shelf? What ever I do, I know it will be great!

One of these days my entire home will be nothing but sewing space lolololol

That is so cool I Love it, I have a old waterbed with the same set of drawers but it is still in use, but when ever comes the day for me to get a new one I am going to remember this wonderful idea thanks for sharing

Wow! that is great!

SandyinZ4 10-21-2012 10:49 AM

That is just fabulous. Having used one of those ironing stations at a quilt retreat makes it hard to go back to an ironing board. Great job on your part

I thought that I was the only one still using a waterbed. When my latest mattress goes I will remember this idea too.

DebbieG 10-22-2012 04:16 AM

what a perfectly beautiful cabinet, ironing board and AccuQuilt space!! I love my AccuQuilt but I'm struggling with the die collection as they are so expensive....I buy them where ever I find them on sell for $25 or less!

Caswews 10-22-2012 05:25 AM

WOw this would be good in a couple of places in the sewing room and in the sheds. Hmmmm... Good idea for DH and his gold panning .. hmmm.. Thanks for sharing and giving me more ideas (just what DH loves (NOT!LOL).

KathyJ 10-22-2012 05:46 AM

Well . . . how clever of you! Looks like a perfect fit & wonderful use of space. Congrats.

That looks fantastic!!!

stitcherlady 10-22-2012 06:14 AM

That was a very clever idea. Looks great and extremely useful.

calicojoan 10-22-2012 06:54 AM

This looks wildly familiar. Mine that look just like that (even down to the drawer pulls) are under my long arm so I have storage under it for all my sewing must haves!!! Great minds recycle alike!! :D

AZ Jane 10-22-2012 06:59 AM

Very very clever!!!!!!!!

fireworkslover 10-22-2012 08:19 AM
