The move to Arizona is finally complete! I have almost completed setting up my sewing / craft room, and I wanted to share some pictures. The furniture all came from
IKEA. I used three of the EXPEDIT shelving units in high gloss white, two AKURUM base cabinet / drawer units which I put back-to-back for my cutting table, and two above-the-refrigerator AKURUM cabinets that I am going to turn into a window seat (still need to make that happen). I topped the cutting table with a self-healing cutting mat that I purchased
here. I wasn't satisfied with the shelving unit baskets at IKEA, so I searched the internet and finally decided on the large gingham storage bins from
The Container Store, which I just love! Once I had all the IKEA furniture put together, and all my sewing / crafting supplies unpacked, I hung up some of my wall hanging quilts, my 120 spool thread organizer, and a cross stitch picture I did years ago. I then used some antique canning jars I inherited to store thread, knitting needles, crochet hooks and buttons. I just love how they look! Here's some preliminary pictures. I'll post more when some of the final details are complete.
