Rodney, just paint the shelving and brackets the same color as the walls. Should conceal everything. Of course you could always make a short curtain and attach that to the shelf.

I have material on the way to make a valance. Last night I went to my shop and milled some recycled pine to trim the front of the shelving. I will stain and seal all tonight and apply in a couple days. I will use my 1896 Standard treadle (seen in the pics. above) to fabricate the valance. Once completed, I will move, this weekend, pending no rain, a few more machines in cabinets to round out the décor.

I really like your display of machines along the wall. Your room looks so fun and interesting to spend time in. Enjoy it and happy sewing.

I'm always amazed how neat everybody's sewing room are. Mine has so much fabric, I can't move, and too embarrassed for anyone to see it.

I fabricated the brackets from 1/8" x 1-1/2 angle iron cut, then mitered to 90 degrees and welded. They are lag bolted to the studs and are very strong supporting about 400 lbs.


Rodney-it's a scrap lap quilt ready to bring to the long arm lady for quilting.
