A Girl Can Dream...

This is the inside of my fabric cabinet. Well, one of them, anyway. I rearranged and tidied up the stacks over the weekend, which I do from time to time to reassess my stash. Sometimes I need to remind myself just what I have.
But, this is more like what it usually looks like. It's two stacks deep, with stuff in front of the fabric stacks. Sometimes, it's just more fabric. Sometimes it's an iron and charm packs and sewing machine parts in storage. It's a bit frustrating when I need something, because I have to move the front stuff to get to the back.

The cabinets I have right now are like the ones that people have installed in garages (at least where we live). They're about 20" deep, which is perfect for garages, but they take up a lot of floor space because of their added depth, and create the situation where I have I'm able to have double layers to sort through.
I know you probably saw the bolts on the bottom shelf in the previous photo. No. They're not full bolts, but Kathy (at the quilt shop) saves the empty bolts for me so that I can store larger quantities on them. I often roll two or three fabrics from a collection onto them to keep them together. Even here, the bolts are stacked two deep.

Now, I completely understand that you have absolutely no sympathy for me with my current dilemma. I admit I'm more fortunate than most. Some (I know, Shell) might say I'm spoiled. But, even with all this abundance, I'd like to be more organized, with my supplies more accessible.
This is what I dream about. Billy cabinets from Ikea...with Morebo glass doors. They're 11" deep. No room for double stacks.
There is a narrower model to help fit a collection of them into a nook or on a full wall. I may need one or two of these to hold my buttons and ribbons.

They even have extra risers. in the wide and narrow versions, to put on the top of the cabinets so that I have extra storage outside the doors.
Then, I'd love to remove the carpeting that's been in the studio for the past 11 years and replace it with this vinyl/linoleum flooring that looks like wood. It's on the floor in our camper, and I've seen it in doctor's offices lately.

It's "cushy" on my feet, would make for easy chair movement when I'm sewing and cleaning would be a breeze.

So there you have it. My studio wish list. A girl can dream, right?
