I am building a new sewing room 26'x28'. It should be done in about 1 month. I am thinking about putting in a Murphy Bed. That will be an extra bed for guest and I can pull it down to lay out a big quilt.

oh yes i thought that was you i had to look back at your pics and i would GLADLY take your sewing room even half i get the kitchen and i keep waiting for some klutz (will probably be me ) to spill something on my stuff you may not have all the nice fancy cabinets but at least you can move without having to move the chair move the ironing board oh yea wait for everyone to get out i was all set to move the boy to the basement to the man cave and take over his room best room in the house for light then the sil moved in and will probably be here for awhile (like forever) so there goes my sewing room. but at least i can sit here and drool over everyone elses.

But after I fold it, I pull out my ruler and then fold them in half the other way. Two rows fit perfectly in each shelf. I also just love looking at my wall of color.
One other idea I use is under the bed shoe storage containers. Got them at Hancock Fabric. They hold "tons" of fabric! |

When the long boards were stood up and the shorter boards were slid in and onto the quarteer rounds, there was/is no way these will fall down. When I move, all I have to do is pull the short boards out and take out the long boards. No nails.

What a superb idea - I'll be first in line to access that section! Judy

......and to think how many of these containers I have cut up for recycling. Oh woe is me. Guess I'll just have to start eating more so I can get the containers. Thanks for the suggestion.
