This is my sewing cabinet, and slides UNDER my sewing desk. Since "UNDER" my sewing desk is filled with more stuff, the cabinet usually cannot slide UNDER, without a major reorganization job. I keep my small ironing board on top of the rolling sewing cabinet, and naturally, UNDER the ironing board is also crammed with whatever I can't decide where to put (what grammar)! The brand name is Roberts, and I had to search some to actually find a real one to inspect before purchasing. I bought this set 10 years ago. The cabinet and desk cost as much as a decent sewing machine - I have NEVER been sorry about spending so much money, as my productivity increased tremendously.
My sewing desk/cabinet are THE best things I ever bought for myself! Both are on wheels, the desk has one drawer, but the best part of the desk is that the entire back is on a full length piano-type hinge and folds up for large projects - such as a quilt! My sewing room is small, and my DH also uses this room for his hobby, so when I open the back up, I have to move some of my other stuff to another room. (There is still room for DH to work at his desk.)
The other piece of furniture I found useful is a K-Mart, low rolling microwave cabinet, also white, on wheels, under $20.00. It has a shelf and the top is almost the same size as a 18 x 22 cutting mat. Works great, and matches with my desk and cabinet, but I haven't seen it's top for several years - ! LOL, and I am too embarrassed to show it!
I have a Horn Sewing cabinet and Horn drawers that could be twins to what you have. I love them. And, yes, they were pricey but worth it.
ReplyDeleteI also have a sewing machine table that opens in the back for large projects. I love it. But when I bought it a few years ago, we did not purchase the rolling drawers. I checked recently and Koala does not make the same cabinet anymore :-( I think I will check at K-Mart!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a cabinet like that. I just have a plain table which is fine but I'd like to have all those drawers...
ReplyDeleteRemember that a messy room is a productive room.At least that's what I keep telling myself.
Hey I have that cabinet. I love it!!!! The furniture is great. Makes sewing so much more enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteNever be too embarrassed to show us. lolol Your among friends.
Getting a sewing table ensemble like that is a dream of mine but so far that's what it has remained! For the amount of sewing I do, though, I think it would be worth some monthly payments for the joy of sewing with my machine level with the table surface.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about the sewing furniture-I invested in a Quilters Cabinet from Tracey's Tables & wow, what a difference it makes to have a really good efficient set up. Love Ikea too!
ReplyDeleteI like your scrappy churndash blocks...... the older I get the more I love scrappy.
It really pays in the end to have a good sewing station and cutting station as well. And I love hearing that you have a table whose top you cannot see. (Only one?)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful trip west!
Love your churn dash blocks. Thanks for sharing those wonderful vacation photos.
