Tidy workroom!

I have recently claimed the small bedroom as my workroom and have been able to get boxes of 'stuff' out of the loft and unpacked. Once unpacked the room looked a mess so a trip to Ikea was required to get some more storage ideas. The chest of drawers is full of fabric and crafty bits.





I picked up the old kitchen cupboard at the weekend and it is perfect to keep my fabric and buttons in!
The wooden chests came from Mum's family and are full of fabric, and the cream boxes hold felt and completed items.


all of the red boxes have fabric in them, i i have even got them in colour order! The old tins contain buttons, again i have them in colour order.




old glass containers hold beads and felt scraps


the cake stand came from the local charity shop and holds all the tiny fabric scraps i can not bear to part with.


wire heart with cards and notes




And I still have room for the daybed, and it will still pull out to become a double bed if needed. It has huge drawers - perfect for hiding more fabric and felted jumpers......


I did manage to make these napkin rings yesterday, they are going to be part of a wedding present OH thinks they will need a note with them to explain what they are!
More ways to hide fabric and ribbons........

And finally the view from the window, how lucky am I :-)

  2. Looks fab mitmot, would love to have a good old rummage and play in there! I saw the same cake stand in my local charity shop but had to leave it behind as I have nowhere for it to go. Using yours for fabric scraps is a great idea xx
