I love the idea of the pegboard ~ definitely going to incorporate that when I move next week!!
A fellow Austinite! Killer space, I love the green pegboard!
Oh, gosh, I recognize that rocket from her blog! So cute. I think the idea of the rolling shelving unit is a good one, and I love that Laurie puts inspiring things on the top shelf. If it were at my house, I’m afraid it would be spilling over with fabric. Her way probably causes more creative quilting to take place than just looking at piles of FQ’s would.
Like everyone else, I am enamored with the pegboard…and plan to start begging my hubby to put one up for me today! Also love the organization…but don’t see myself achieving that, *sigh*.
Wish I had a wall for a pegboard! Love Laurie’s space and love her designs!
I so need to keep up on replacing my ironing board covers… Love the pop of color!
After retiring from my library, I so missed that shelving cart of mine; so funny to now see it used for quilting access! I DO love wheels~
Oh …i love the green color, it makes the sewing room fresh and bright!
I love all the bolts of beautiful fabrics!
Love the pops of color in the room. Must be nice to have bolts of fabric of your own design at your finger tips. Love your charmed life; inspires me to act on my dreams and make my little corner of the world as special as your is.
Love love love that green pegboard! Gives me great ideas!
