MY new room
 

When we first looked at our home our realtor described this little room as the baby room. Well, I knew that wasn't happening so the room became the catch-all space. Items for Goodwill was stashed in it till pick-up day, or Christmas or birthday presents were hidden in the space. In my mind it was too small of a room to do anything with. I sewed at the kitchen table and life went along just fine, year after year.

Then one day it hit me. I should have my own space, my own room for sewing, and I thought of this little room. I cleaned everything out, moved a table into it and life went on just fine. Then last spring I asked DH to build a sewing table, with drawers and a sewing machine lift. Love it! He built the peg board for my supplies and hung the design wall. We hung baby photos of our boys. He surprised me when he installed not only a TV for a little entertainment but also a blue-ray player. This Christmas he gave me ceiling lights and a few Ott Lights to brighten the space.

I love my little sewing space!

BTW, My fabric stash is in another room.

I think your D is a keeper! Love your space :thumbup:

great sewing space.last house I had before current home the sewing room was very tiny.sewing desk and cutting table filled it.

What a wonderful space just for you! He's a keeper! I have a room but I need all the lighting and some more organization.

Hey love all those babies too...WOW...LOL love the room, couldn't do without mine..if kids ever came home they would have to sleep in the barn.

Fabulous!!

LOVE your space! I'm having design wall envy!

You have such a lovely room and even a comfy resting chair. Wow, you have a lot in your "little room" (smile). Great job. Thank you for sharing.

This is beautiful!!! Every bit of it. And what wonderful work your husband did!

Wow! A beautiful place all your own! Great job and beautiful sewing cabinet. He really did a great job!

I also love the room too! and 'Leonmoms' got some Great Kids! on the wall.

Neat little space to call your own! Hubby is a keeper! :)

awesome use of the space and I love your machine table. =)

That is a neat table! I love your board too!! :)

Thank you all. I read many of the replies to DH and he got a big smile on his face. He is a keeper and as of this Saturday night we will have known each other for 30 years. Next year (2013) we'll celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary so, yep, I'll be keeping him.

Great room! It's wonderful to have a place to call 'your own', isn't it. Best thing is, there's a door when you need to walk away and leave it.

Awesome!! It's great to have your own space :)

Great sewing space!

What a terrific room you have. And your sewing table is wonderful.

Looks great and he did a lot of work for you hang on tight he seems like a nice guy. Sue

Fab sewing room!

Great sewing space. Wish mine looked that orgnized.

That's funny about the fabric cause my first thought was "where's the fabric?" Glad to hear that you have a stash somewhere. Nice room though.

What an absolutely wonderful space ! Your sewing table is exactly what I would love to have. It is gorgeous. I don't even need the lift. LOL

What a wonderful room. Your DH is a real keeper. Wish he were closer to me in FL. I'd sure put him to work on my sewing space.

Nice to have your own sewing space...congrats...looks great.

All I can say is WOW, this room is awesome!

Very well organized...it is always so fun to work in a great space!

Very nice room. Lots of great lighting.

Awesome! What a wonderful DH.

I tried having the stash in the room but it really made it feel crowded and messy. I don't work well in a messy area. We have a guest bedroom which now has a dresser full of stash and a 5 shelf storage rack filled with fabric. The light is nice in the room so when I want to plan a project I head in there and look through my stash.

Oh, and when I have lots of cutting to do I head to the kitchen and use the island for cutting on. I only use the cutting board in my sewing room when I have a couple pieces to do or a little trimming.
