A New Space

This spring Hubby and I have been reorganizing. Almost every room in the house has been changed around in some way!

One MAJOR change was the moving of my sewing room from a space near the kitchen to the smallest bedroom. We've referred to this room as "the room of doom" because it was pretty much a storage room. A very disorganized storage room!

After 4 full days of cleaning (I filled SIX big garbage bags with trash, not to mention the recycle and garage sale stuff that came out of there!) it was ready for occupancy!

 New Sewing Space
There was a nice big old desk in there, so I left it in and am now using it for my sewing table. It's so nice and sturdy!

New Sewing Space
There are oodles of shelves too! The whole wall is lined with shelves and there are 2 units underneath the cutting and ironing tables. It was a bit of a puzzle at first but this arrangement works very, very nicely!

New Sewing Space!
This is what I see when I turn around in my chair. When I sit at my machine my back is to the rest of the room. But this was better than having my back to the door, which was the only other way things could have been arranged :)

New Sewing Space!
We moved the embroidery machine in this morning. My sewing room is now complete! And it's also very, very cosy. I think I can safely say there is no wasted space anywhere :)

I'm excited to spend tomorrow actually working on projects in there!

  2. Oh it looks awesome!! I can't wait until we move into a bigger house and I can have a whole room (even if its small) to myself, rather than a corner that the kiddo can get to if we don't pay attention! I love that you also have your music within arms reach as well :)

  7. Very, very nice! I have absolutely no wasted space in my sewing/craft/computer room either. Here's a peek. http://countrycabinthoughtsandcrafts.blogspot.com/2010/04/craft-room-renovations-adding-design.html

  8. Way to claim your space!!! It's fabulous. I, too, have a home office off my kitchen that becomes the de facto garage storage (we don't have a garage). However, I am very fortunate to have taken over the spare bedroom in the basement for sewing. You've inspired me to start shoveling out my office this weekend - it needs to be done and my machine is in for service, so might as well tackle it now!

  9. Indeed, looks great! Being an incurable Cancerian myself, I am intrigued with how others "nest" and claim their space. I had a fairly large re-organization recently, and I can attest that it jump starts one's creativity! Enjoy! http://stitchywitchysisters.blogspot.com/
