    Default Quilt Room Moved From Small Bedroom to Big Bedroom and Reorganized

    I had a very small quilt and craft room and just kept tossing things into it, so small I did not want to work in there except to put things in there, I am sure others understand on where I am coming from for sure!!!!!

    I was in the process of making a den into our larger bedroom and then decided, NO, I needed a bigger room so why not change the rooms, make the small room the den...yes...so that is what I did!!!

    Please enjoy my pictures of the old room and redone room!!! I enjoyed it a lot but a couple months went by and we ended up selling our home and there goes the new room!! Still wanted to share this with all and it meant so much to me......yet, here in our new place...duplex, I am going to make another NEW room in our cellar and will be better and bigger for sure, pictures to follow this winter for sure......so in the meantime, enjoy what I did and maybe can give some of you ideas:

    Old Room Pic: 9 x 12 size

    New Room starting with Bookcase and work around this
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]372026[/ATTACH]
    Using shelves for my books, they stand but I did this with them to hold books or can turn them over for a shelf on top, bought them at Michaels for $10 each
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]372028[/ATTACH]
    Counter top bought at Menards and shelf over window to hold curtain online, good way to use space
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]372029[/ATTACH]
    Storage on top of old chest, storage for stamps, etc. of craft supplies, chest draws hold heavy material
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]372032[/ATTACH]
    Old gun cabinet and my DH made shelves for it, his grandpa made it, see the frog handles!!
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]372033[/ATTACH]
    Final layout of room and had just bought this sew table at sale for $20 w/stool, perfect ending
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]372034[/ATTACH]
    As you enter the room before I bought the sewing table, looks complete with machine and table and...
    doggies, of course they helped me organize----------------yellow lab and german short hair pointer, Ginger and Gracie...........
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]372040[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]372035[/ATTACH]Guess the doggies are pleased too in the new room!!!

    I had to add more information in a new post here due to only able to post 10 pics. Here is the beginning of using Comic Book Boards I got and reorganized for the NEW room this winter, what a space saver for sure for all of u too:

    Before pics of material:

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]372046[/ATTACH]
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]372047[/ATTACH]

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]372048[/ATTACH]

    Using the boards, thicker ones are 3 yds. and smaller 1 yd., u can wrap up to 8 yds. I believe on one....could not believe this little book shelf is holding so much material.....
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]372049[/ATTACH]

    Ordered online at www.bcwsupplies.com and cost me $11 for 100 boards, bought 300 and lots still to use

    You really had a nice space for your work! I hope your new space works out well. One of these days, I have to start the fabric folding! Kudos to you for all that difficult organizing work!!
