    Your basket idea is great. Your quilting center is great.

    I have this as a bedroom set from Sears. I bought it 25 years ago for my son when he got out of the crib. I still have the bed (it was canopy), this desk and some chester drawers. I was going to sell it as a set but now think I will use it! We are finishing off attic space above a 3 car garage for my new quilt room and I was wondering if I had anything up there to use for my extra machines! So glad I saw this and now know just what to do!

    Wow. Looks like the desk my daghter used when she was growing up. I took it to thrift store awhile ago. I never thought it could look so good. You did a great job in organizing the space. What a deal.
