A Little More Work On My Sewing Room

Last week I showed you a picture of the pegboard my husband put up for me.  I loved it but decided after seeing a friend's that I'd rather have it white.  It just looked so clean and bright and I knew it would help reflect light, which I badly need in that room.  So he took it down and painted it for me - and I love it!

Today I worked on what is now my cutting area.  I'm going to change that a bit later and move the cutting area to the new table, which I haven't bought yet but I got great advice from so many of you in my last post that I'll be choosing it soon.

I'm still working on this area but it's close to getting where I want it to be.  Under the radio I have printable things like fabric sheets for making labels and Transfer Eze for embroidery projects on the bottom shelf.  In the middle I have foundation piecing papers and graph paper.  On the right are my favorite quilt books - the rest are either in a file cabinet to the left of this cabinet or on my coffee table in my living room or beside my quilting chair or near my chair in the sun room - are ya'll like that...quilt books everywhere?  :)  Most of the wire gym baskets as well as the plastic bins hold a UFO ( or two).  I know.  I'm embarrassed. But I am working on them, slowly but surely.  I plan to empty them all - one of these days.  When I move my cutting area I'll have room there to put my light box - I use it a lot for embroidery tracing.  The cords are a problem.  I have to have those lights under the shelves so I can see there.  Any suggestions for how to hide them?
