Well, here at long last is the sewing closet that I finished last week.
I've put off sharing it because I am not at all happy with the photos of this little nook, but for some reason even with the many adjustments on the camera I'm still not getting clear pictures.
Onward with what I have.....
I'm not sure whether you can tell, but this is a full sized closet. Somehow it doesn't look like it is!
Here is how it all happened....
First Tim and I removed the tons of Winter coats that were hanging inside. Next he made two new shelves for me. He built a large bottom shelf to hold my sewing machine and another shelf above for much needed storage. The very top shelf was there already.
As you can see, I went a bit crazy with the scrap paper wall quilting again.
I can't seem to help myself!
Honestly though, the reasoning behind this is very sensible.
One, I hate painting! Which I'm sure I've shared with you so many times before. And secondly, I love the bright and colourful patterns on the five dollar scrap paper book that I had purchased at Wal Marts. I don't scrap book so they had to go somewhere-hence the closet walls!

I opted for just painting a frame I had black and hanging a clipboard to write my future projects on instead of a cushioned bulletin board.
In case you're wondering how I attached the paper squares, it was done with homemade Mod Podge.
I have everything quite cluttered nicely arranged on the shelves: my scissors, rulers, threads and bobbins, most everything I need for sewing.
My favourite storage unit is the white drawered cabinet on the left that my father made for me many, many years ago. It was his first attempt at making something with drawers and they are a little bit wonky.
This makes me smile whenever I look at it. I'm sure I don't need to tell you how special it is to me...
And lastly, here is my sweet little doggie who so faithfully holds my spectacles for me until I need them to thread the needle!
Which is always.
Now I just need to get with it and get on to those many projects I've been wanting to work on lately.
Shall I list them?
No, I will save that for another day. This post is far too long as it is!
Blessing to all and have a good weekend
Kim
