It's a start....

I have been struggling for about three years with how to redo my craft/sewing room. Been through so many Pinterest photos it would make your head swim. Through it all, the only thing that always got me thrown off track was the three pieces of cherry bookshelf that took up one whole wall. I wanted to go vintage but couldn't get past this stupid cherry furniture that was way to fancy to go vintage with.


Then on a trip to WV this summer, I found a vintage sewing kit in red and creamy white. I have been looking for a vintage sewing kit for a long time and I had been toying with the idea to do some red in my sewing room.


I finally realized the only way to do what I want and be happy was to get rid of the bookcases and a matching file cabinet. I sold them last weekend and now I have a fresh clean slate. Now to decide what to do. 


My friend Georgeanna blessed me with the tomato pin cushion I want for my new sewing (Plus some Halloween Junior Mints). So I knew it was time to start accumulating ideas of things that may be good for the room. 


I will still need either a cabinet or shelves for my supplies and maybe a smaller cabinet but for now, the only thing I have seen that caught my eye are these crates from Hobby Lobby. Not sure they are the way to go, but I am going to look at a lot of options and do a layout before I ever start purchasing anything. I want to take the time to get it how I want it this time. 


Since I am going to go with red and white with a pop of yellow or navy, I appreciate in thoughts or sample ideas.
