DH set up my quilt rm after our kitchen remodel by using the old kitchen wall cabinets/floor cabinets on one side of the room. Perfect height for cutting, etc, and neutral countertop on top. He then took 1x6's & built a long/skinny open shelving unit that is directly under the wall cabinets, the entire length. That holds small items, pictures, etc. He attached a set of inexpensive Ikea mini flood lights that light up my work area wonderfully. All done beautifully, painted white with additional shelving between the 2 banks of base cabinets for extra storage under the counter, which I've got covered with removable curtain attached with velcro (so its washable). LOVE the lights, it makes such a difference & the perfect height. DH is a wonder! Other side of room is full of Ikea white open shelving with folded fabrics, books, etc. Small room, but organized to the max!
