I try to decorate my home with what is already on hand. I use a few items that have little value but were from my families history. My most odd are a cast iron pot and a dipping tool that were used with to make lead bullets. I currently have a series of green glass canning jars that I fill with buttons, another with thread spools. You get the idea, I just use what is on hand. For me, this method lets me see and delight in the pieces I have and not purchase new. Consider what you have on hand and your "style". Enjoy decorating you special sewing room!

My dad had his mother's old iron that she had to heat on a stove - I don't know what happened to it. My sister probably has it - but my dad did find a child's version when he and my mom were antiquing once for me. It is in my sewing room. Since I am a Longeberger basket collector I have quite a few in my sewing room holding thread and fabric. I like function in my displayed items too.
I have one of those large pretzel jars from Costco that I throw my scraps into. It sits under a sewing machine to keep out of the way when I don't need it. There is so much that I learn on this Board, I am forever changing things about.
