    Very nice sewing room! And in the living room Wow. We rarely ever use our living room (except once a year at Christmas), and I'm trying to convince DH to move my sewing room to the living room because it is such a large room with lots of natural light. He says it's the first thing people see when they come over as it is right by the front door. My answer is anyone that comes over is a friend and they wouldn't care. And...who cares what other people think about how I arrange my house. Any thoughts out there on this?

    One thing I've learned in this process is how dang much fabric I have! I've purged a lot and am really happy to have gone through each and every piece of it so I really have a sense of what I have, might need for upcoming projects. I can now make good choices when I start a new project vs. randomly going out and buying fabric that I already had buried in my stash. Now I know what I've got and can put it to good use!
    Fantastic space! Great storage!

    Thanks for posting your photos. I have been eyeing those same shelves, but couldn't determine exactly how deep they are in relation to fabric. Now I know - think I'm gonna get one unit, possibly 2.

    Your room is wonderful. You really have a nice, open space to put your furniture around in.

    All that space. And so much shelving! I am happy to see you use the expedit shelving from IKEA. I've looked at it in the store and thought it would be perfect for fabric storage. Apparently it is. My son recently moved out to his own aprtment, and I want to turn his room into my sewing room NOW. Hubby wants to wait until we can paint, tear up the carpet and put flooring in, I don't want to wait. Maybe I'll show him your photos and tell him if I can't use my son's old room yet, I'll turn our living room into my studio. I have already taken over the family room. Hubby has to watch T.V. amidst fabric scraps, & his coffee table is my rotary cutting table....
