Thread Cabinet

A friend of ours made this cabinet for me years ago for my birthday. It is a very cool thing to have because it protects my very favorite threads (well, some of them).
This is what it looked like before:
My husband and I added drawer pulls. They are wooden spools that I painted and stained to look like spools of thread. They look like actual spools of thread! I needed knobs on them really bad, so I am totally thrilled to have this project done--about 15 years behind schedule. LOL
I can really load a lot of thread in here, especially in the drawers. Not a big fan of leaving my threads out in the open where they can collect dust, so this works well for me. Other
threads are stored in plastic containers.

Love the pulls! My mother-in-law had a cabinet like that and she loved it too.
