My husband gave me a generous check for my birthday. That was in June. My purchases have arrived!
The Tracey's cutting table was delivered last evening. It replaces the table I bought in 1995. That table's gate legs gave out about four years ago. I propped it on two bookcases. (Tracey's also made my sewing machine table. I purchased both through Sew & Save in Racine.)
The new cutting table is bigger (40 x 72 vs. 35 x 58) and has drawers and a storage shelf in the middle. The bookcases still fit nicely under the table, though I ought to replace that yellow duct tape with something nicer.
About 20 years ago I bought a Closet Maid wire basket unit. It was fairly expensive for me at the time so I didn't buy additional units. I made do with plastic boxes and miscellaneous bookcases. I got tired of thinking how much I'd like more units and ordered five from Home Depot.
Here is the old:

excellent upgrade nann....elfa is the same as closet maid and i've got one tall unit but no room for more...even so it's a great system for fabric and other quilty stuff...wow, terrific setup now!
ReplyDeleteTerrific upgrades!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good, well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! It always feels wonderful to redo the sewing room!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I started with one of those basket units, too, but it didn't take long to outgrow.
ReplyDeleteGreat storage! Looks so nice and inspiring! Now you’ll probably get even more done! Lol!
ReplyDeleteThis look sso great!! and with the taller table - no back issues!! what a great gift!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your studio upgrades! I'm envious of your basket storage system. I've had a Tracey's cutting table for about 15 years and I love it. I hope you'll enjoy your new set up for many years to come!
ReplyDeleteYes ... you just keep telling yourself your not going to fill them with fabric.
ReplyDeleteI have always held that telling myself stuff like that is not a denial of reality just an attempt to shape it...
Congrats on the studio upgrades, Nann!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the upgrade and you deserve it. Love the wire shelf system.
ReplyDeleteGreat acquisitions for your sewing room.
ReplyDeleteI’m amazed at the difference the wire basket system makes. Hum, now what do you think you'll put in all those plastic baskets?
ReplyDeleteWhere the caged fabric sings!
ReplyDeleteA very fun (and useful) sewing room refresh. This wire bins are going to come in very handy.
