I identify with the cats issue completely! The one thing wrong with my open shelves is that I do have to be careful about shades in the room -- your Pax solution is probably the better one. Of course, I plan to use my stash up almost immediately, so I'm not really expecting any fading! (Right!) Kris C., thanks for your comment, too. Isn't it great having the stash where you can see it? It's made a big difference for me. Babe B, your set-up sounds great! I identify with the cats issue completely!

My husband just put up a bunch of shelves in my computer/sewing room a few months ago, and though it's still a work in progress, things are much better than they used to be! All my fabric stash is on shelves, too. Very nice!

Ikea is a favorite of mine for sewing room furniture. Although my room is a work in progress, one Ikea wall is complete. I purchased three Pax 84" wardrobe units, 2 are 19.5" deep and 1 is 24" deep, and two open book shelf units that are 15" wide. I outfitted the closed door Pax units with wire pull out drawers top to bottom to house stash. All units are installed - attached to the wall - on the longest wall under an existing soffit that houses a heating/AC duct. DH installed decorative molding between units and crown molding so that the units look built in. I decided to use units with doors because there are four windows in the room, two of which face east, and I wanted to prevent any fading issues with my fabrics PLUS we have two cats. I wish you many happy sewing hours in your new room!!! You did a SUPER job organizing your new sewing room, and it’s quite pretty as well!!!
