Just thinking....

I have a quilt rack my Daddy made me but now that I have moved around in the bedroom, I have nowhere in there to put it. I'm looking for ideas. Thinking about trying to find room in my sewing room, but not sure I can. I went to Pinterest and saw this idea. 


But mine has large dowel rods not slanted boards so this wouldn't work. So I thought, well I would have a place in the kitchen but what would I hang on it. Then I remembered the kitchen towels my mother made that my sister brought to me a couple of weeks ago. I had stashed them away in my storage until I could figure out how to hang them. So I thought why not try them on the quilt rack in the kitchen. I am loving it. Don't really care if other like it or not, but it is something my Mommy made that is displayed on something my Daddy made and I couldn't be more pleased!


On another note, as I am changing decor in several areas at one time, I am still focusing on my sewing/craft room getting turned into a vintage style sewing room. I'm trying to figure out what to use to replace the pink and black Thirty-One containers that I store supplies and fabric and stuff in. Well, my cousin Patty shared with me what she has done for storage in her craft room and I am so excited. There is a particular item I see at antique stores that I wanted to purchase every time I see one, but I think of anything I could use them for. You better believe I'm going hunting for some now! It's vintage picnic baskets. I am so excited about this. 


One last idea to share about something I want for my craft room. Instead of dry erase or chalk boards, I'd like to make something like this. I am thinking a pretty piece of weather wood for the back, a wood paper towel hold that I will paint probably brick red and two painted paint stirrers for the guide. I am definitely going to do this.
