    Ok here are some before Pictures..... not as bad as some I have seen, but then again I have not been a quilter for as long as most either. Some of my DD stuff is stored in here, as she gave up her room last August so I would have somewhere to set up my PC Quilter and quilting frame. She was spending all her time at her BF's house anyway. OK now it is time to get this mess cleaned up!!!

    Dresser will be converted into Ironing table soon and board will go

    Nice, but I need to know how to hang the thread spool holders on the wall. There is nothing on them to hang them by.

    I mentioned before about a ruler rack, that's holding way more than just rulers. I did clean it out once and it looked good with just rulers in in for a while. Well, it's back to being messy again. It's a great vertical file! :roll: What can I say.

    I have a vertical rack too. Finally put the ODD rulers that I rarely use on huge O rings and hang them in a closet. Now I just have my favorite rulers within easy reach. I do think that the rack could double for storage for pattern stuff we need. Right?
