My husband purchased cabinets at auction a year or so ago. They are from some kind of lab, so they are heavy duty metal with drawers. Right now they are an ugly grey, but eventually they will be a beautiful light blue with black countertops. We set up the cabinets in an "L" shape that is 9 feet by 14 feet with four workstations, one of which is double wide. I will probably put the embroidery machine in the double wide space. On the back wall, I have the Neechi (in cabinet) that I purchased last year and I have my mother's old Kenmore (in cabinet) that I brought to my house after my father passed away last year. I need to take it in to the shop for service, but I sewed quite a bit on that machine when I was in high school and my mother made a lot of clothes for us on it.
Our home is an old warehouse that we are almost finished converting into a home. It has been a couple long years of lots of construction, but in the end it will be worth it. There are old wooden beams that we left in place. (Actually Thursday started out with my husband giving the wooden beams one last sanding because they had some sheet rock mud on them.)

| This is my attempt at taking a panoramic photo with my I-phone. The room is straight in reality, but I had a difficult time keeping the camera level as I moved. But you can get the idea of what it looks like. |

| Here is a straight shot into the room. You can see the wooden beams. I really like them. All of the little dark spots along the wall are for electrical outlets. The boxes are the blinds waiting to be hung. |

| These are my cabinets before we put them together. They now have the wood on top of them and the drawers are not standing or laying down on the floor, but are bolted into place. I lined all of the drawers with cork. I have to work on getting the tags off of them tomorrow and putting more things away. |
Tomorrow after I do some more straightening up and finish a sewing project, I will take some more photos to post.
