After some internet research (more like MANY hours of internet research, actually), I found OK-looking (and affordable) cabinets at IKEA that were exactly the size I was looking for--wide and deep enough to hold all my different-sized fabrics, yet still small enough to fit in my sewing-room's alcove. I raided the store over the weekend, and returned home with my loot: three large IVAR cabinets!
My kids and I spent the weekend getting them ready. All those lego sets I bought over the years proved to be a great investment--the children were well prepared for the real-life challenge of putting IKEA cabinets together! I’m quite sure that that carpentry camp a couple of summers ago didn’t hurt, either :-)
It was heart-warming to see them working together and cooperating instead of squabbling, for a change. A shame we don’t need to build furniture every week...
