Primping my sewing nook {with my love of metal bins}

I've been reorganizing and primping my sewing nook in the corner of my bedroom, and have found some of my favorite baskets and bins to keep all my sewing supplies handy.




I found this old metal cabinet at the thrift store for only $5.  After a quick coat of white paint and a search for the perfect size basket to replace the missing drawer, it was ready to start housing some fabric and supplies.




I also changed out my decorative accessories on my stacked shelves, to baskets and jars full of buttons and trim.










My favorite new bins are these old metal drawers that have a hint of military engravings.

 



They make the perfect home for my ever-growing stash of fabric.












 An old industrial stool sits nearby to help me fetch supplies from the shelf above.




Another favorite, is this numbered locker basket, found at a local boutique.




It currently houses my latest, and ongoing project: the squares for a butterfly quilt for my 4-year-old, which I am hoping to have done by her 5th birthday--wish me luck!
















It helps to have an organized space that is nice to look at, especially when you're "working".




If you love these metal drawers as much as I do, I have a few more that I have put in my shop. Now I'm off to work away on the sewing machine some more.








keep primping,
