I would send a pix, but house sold and I already removed them. I saw this years ago on HGTV.

My sewing studio is wonderful but it is directly under the rafters so my storage area are little doors that lead to the space hidden under the rafters that are too low to be part of the room. Consequently I have to kind of crawl in there, on hands and knees, and I chronically bonk my head. I hope to post pictures maybe later.

Very helpful LOL Sue
Thanks!

Michael, I really appreciate the explanation on how to store batting. I have done the same in my sewing room. I have counter tops anchored to all the walls in an 8'X10' spare room.
I have placed plastic storage bins under all the counter tops, except one. The quilt bolt rod is ancored to the legs of the 8'
end underneath the counter top. The area above the bolt left enough room to put a shelf, on which I store bags, etc. There are 2 counter top corners. One is used for my sewing machine and the other is for my computer. I use peg boards with various size hooks for all my bobbins and thread behind my sewing machine. Above the computer and sewing machine are various length shelvs with necessary sewing supplies, books, magazines, and various office necessities. The closet is just the right size for storing all my color coded fabrics in bins on many shelves. I live in my special sewing room.
