A Basement Full of Fabric

No this isn’t a new season of “Hoarders”. This is my basement full of fabric. When we got the moving quote of $10,000 for the amount of “stuff” we had, I knew I needed to clean out--and take some of it in a UHaul. Half of that truck was filled with my fabric, yarn, sewing books and magazines, in addition to other things that I have probably forgotten since I boxed it up in April can’t survive without!

It has been like this since moving here in July....in my defense I didn’t fully move here until the end of September. I know, now it is nearly the end of November and I still haven’t dealt with it. First I have to move it all (or a majority) of it out of this area, set things up and then unpack and move it back.

I have BIG plans for this area, since it is a portion of my basement, I hope to make “walls” with my bookshelves. I had some white ones, and I bought some new black ones. With the white walls and grey floors, I was thinking of a black and white theme....and some pink of course!

I found a great zebra rug that I was thinking I might splurge on, but instead I found some black/white/grey berber area rugs that seemed more sensible, and will look much better when one of my three cats throws up on it (and did I mention these rugs were cheap?--like me!!!).

Oh, I have so many great ideas and plans! I hope to share with you all the “during”, and that it will keep me motivated to get it pretty.
