I am excited for you. Whenever I redo my sewing room I draw it out on draft paper. Then make little pieces of furniture to scale to fit the paper. After I get the pieces cut and labeled, I put repositional glue on the back of the pieces and just have fun rearranging until I come up with something that works. Looking forward to seeing pcitures of the new room.

you will love all the space, congrats.

I envy those with rooms I have a small corner of our bedroom in our small apartment. I dream of a room of my own.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and good wishes! I have a room of my own only because the kids are grown & gone and our house is too big for just two people. I had to take over the bedroom or leave it empty (couldn't do that!). I am happy to have the space for myself, but if the housing market was better, we'd be downsizing, too! DH is talking about retiring soon and I have to have a place to hide! LOL ;)

WOW...Great room.....I am envious of anyone that has a designated space to use for sewing. I use to have a room years ago and sure do miss it. I get tired of having to hide my sewing when I get company.Enjoy your space..

Great room and so many crafts going on in there - by removing the bed you will gain alot of space. Have fun being creative!

I also do stained glass & quilt/sew. I had both in a 100sq.ft. room. Did not work out... My DH just removed my stained glass so I would have more room to sew.. and I could still use more space... :) I love both crafts, so I refuse to give one up.
You enjoy re-arranging your work space. Can't wait to see pictures. Maybe I will get some ideas from you... :)

Great for you! I know you will have a grand time making it your space. I agree a U shape works best...Have fun!

Glad you are getting some space. You will probably find that you will have no trouble filling the extra space. LOL. Have fun planning your new space.
