Major cleaning, organizing, and rearranging
have been going on in my workroom,
and it all began with this
great unit...
Would you believe it was salvaged from
a dumpster - years ago - and has
been in our basement woodworking shop.
Mike was kind enough to let me have it
for my own organizing needs.
An old farmhouse table has been put
under the window for my sewing machine;
the light is so much better here...
I am loving my new sewing ~ crafting nook!
More pictures of the rest of the room
next time,

I love it! Very cute and organized. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so fantastic, Debbie! I'd love to be able to work in a space like that! I can't believe that cubby-shelf unit was in the dumpster! It's crazy what people will throw away!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I see a lot of great repurposing in your organizing. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a great space. i love it!
ReplyDeleteHow neat! I cannot wait till I have a room like that for my soap and candle making. Rebekah
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the wall unit! The best kind of organizing - looks great, accommodates lots of different items and you can see them! Doesn't get any better than that. You are a decorating genius. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your photos.
ReplyDeleteI am envious! I might have to get my hubby to build me something like that! That is a nifty unit.

It looks fantastic!!! I just love it! :)
ReplyDeleteI just love your workroom! So practical but still so cozy and warm. You have inspired me to get working on my own project space too. Lovely, lovely, lovely! xx
ReplyDelete::sigh:: Positively dreamy!
ReplyDeleteThe unit is fantastic and looks great well dnewhat a great work room
ReplyDeleteI am sooo jealous of your organized space. I am about to do the same to mine. I have a jumbled up ,mess that makes it hard to be really creative. I have been using my daughter's room to sew because she has been living in Hawaii for a few months but she is returning in two weeks and I have to get out of her room. I have a studio but it is a mess so I guess I will be working on organizing my studio. I am jealous of your wonderful cabinet! I am enjoying your blog. Thanks for showing us into your craft area.
ReplyDeleteLovely to work in a airy and pretty room, not to mention well organised...those dumpster and side of the road finds, are sometimes the best we ever come across..! Suzanne , Australia
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet room! I love that your little butter-pat notions dishes can now see the view.
ReplyDeleteMy sewing room is in progress......I'm taking notes ;o)

ReplyDeleteRebekah, I hope you have your crafty space soon--I would love to be good at soap making.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sheila, you're very kind!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job!
ReplyDeletelove your new sewing nook and that organizing cubby system. We love to eat stell cut oats too. : ) I save my cans as well to use for other things too.
ReplyDeleteThat is such an awesome find. I wish I had such a shelf, or at least space for something like it. You organized everything so nicely. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic! You must be really enjoying the space!
ReplyDeleteWow - an organizing dream! I love those Irish Oatmeal tins too - such great graphics on them! Did you cover the bench with the grainsack? Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove it all! Very nice! Looks like a fun place to be. :)
ReplyDeleteJEALOUS!
ReplyDeleteYour workroom looks so handy, light and airy. Everything is easy to see and plenty of storage. Very nice!!
ReplyDeleteIt's Beautiful Deb.
ReplyDeleteI was envious of your room until I realised I have a lovely sewing room........ underneath all the junk. Hmmm looks like someone has some organising to do.
I love your sewing seat, an idea I might just steal....... um borrow.
Cheryl

ReplyDeletehi deb...that shelving unit is DIVINE! having a bright and organized room certainly helps clear one's mind to be able to concentrate on the task at hand, doesn't it? good for you!

Hi! I love the views from your window and envy your neat storage units! So glad I'm not the only one to hold onto those fabulous Irish Oatmeal cans. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, I love those cans.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! I do like that I can see everything in that cubby unit, rather than it being hidden away.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki! That's 'faux grainsack' on the bench--you can read more on what I did here: http://homespunliving.blogspot.com/2009/08/hanging-on-to-summer.html

ReplyDeleteOk - now I'm chuckling at myself. That's the post that got me started making some "grainsack" pillows...I'd forgotten that it was originally a bench project for you.
ReplyDeleteYes, and I'll have to tell you all how I made the bench from an old desk.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I would be in organize heaven with a unit like that, so awesome girl! I love how you have it fixed up.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It has made a world of difference in organizing my small space.
