Fabulous idea!

storagegeek:

I’ve seen it done with scrapbook (12x12) paper but never fabric. Using a filing cabinet for fabric is genius! If you love repurposing, organization and crafting (Which I know you do because why else would you be here?) you need to visit Karen @ Sew Many Ways. She is a Jedi and I am a mere padawan.

Peg Board & Accessories Station | The 36th Avenue

If I had a chance to build my dream home from scratch I would definitely have the most amazing dressing room. There would be drawers for my thousand dress rings, a shoe wall… hmm.

OK that’s not going to happen anytime soon, but I could sill build myself a accessories station like this! And this doesn’t have to be for a woman. I know a lot of guys who could benefit from a station like this - room for belts, cuff links, shoes, etc. A real time saver for getting dressed in the morning.
