Sandy's Sewing room Re-do
 

Well, I think that I have FINALLY figured out how I want to leave my sewing room set up. Seems like I am always re-doing the layout and over the holidays I tore it apart and reset the furniture. My original post http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...m-t117675.html

My new layout...and I am pretty satisified with it!

Looks good - like you've got it all figured out in a way that works for you!

Lookin'Good! Guess we know where to find you!!! Enjoy your room!

Looks great.

Looks really good. I love the quilt on the bed and the matching curtains. Great job.

I just love your room. Its looks so cosy and just begging one to come on in and sew!!!

Looks good! Is a record player I see?

It is! When we cleared out my parents home to get it ready to sell, I brought my record albums home to my house. 1960's and 70's era. I told my husband that I wanted to be able to play them so he hit Craigslist and ebay for components and now I am back "in the day" complete with those over sized speakers. So now I enjoy my Monkees, disco, Carole King, etc and get a dance or two in to boot! Brings back great memories and takes me back to a simpler time. LOL!! It's fun.

Love how you redid the room...very nicely organized.

My 14-year old son wanted a record player for Christmas. Luckily, my mom found her old one and a stack of albums for him. He was on a treasure hunt, looking for "good sounds". He's a big Beatles fan and I'm crazy about The Monkees! Good to see I'm not the only one! I was afraid we wouldn't be able to find speakers for his player, but we got a $5 cord at walmart so that he can listen to it through the little "$20 boom box" we got to listen to iPod at the pool! So he can play cassettes, album (33's only; the 45 speed is broken), cd or iPod!

LOL, just wanted to share that story! And say hi to another Monkees fan!

Looks like you have a comfortable and productive setup! It is very pretty and inviting.

Great Job! And LOVE that quilt on the bed! I'd like to spend an hour or two in that room - not quilting - but looking at everything.

Looks good! I really like it!

I love how you have your computer and sewing machine close together. That way you can sew and keep up
with quilting blogs on -line at same time. I have to get it and go from sewing area to computer then to another
room for fabric. I wish I had space to combine everything in one room, but alas I don't.

Nice. What is that thing sitting behind your embroidery machine...looks like something I would like sitting behind mine.....

Your room looks happy and welcoming. You did a great job!

Thank you for sharing your "new" room. Sat. my husband took out a closet & beginning to build it in for cutting table & storage. My question, How do the curtains work out for you under the counter? My "H" wants me to do that vs. slidding doors. (less work for him)

Lookin good!! Enjoy your new space.

Looks well organized.

Lookin' good gal. You do not even want to look at mine right now. The saddest part of a sewing room is seeing to many dust bunnies. That means it is not being used.

Actually, that is my television....I do bring my Ipad into the room so that I can check out emails, etc. My room is 13 x 17 btw.

It is a See & Sew LED lite. I love this! The first time I saw it I had to have it! Keeps me organized and adds more light too.

I used hook & loop tape by the yard to affix the curtains to the tables. I do sew thru the tape to reinforce it on the fabric. Perhaps your hubby can attach a small cafe rod to your new table which would allow you to have curtain rings for your skirts. Mine sticks pretty well to the metal underside of the table. The white plastic one sticks pretty well but when it gets hot up in that room...the heat causes it to lose the hold. Overall I am happy with the set up.

thanks everyone, for your nice comments! I always enjoy seeing others' spaces too. We learn from each other and are inspired!

Great setup. I love your sewing box.

Thanks! I won it in a guild raffle. It was hand made from a pattern circa 1926. Interesting.....the year my mom was born. That vignette shows a lamp from my grandmas' house. She died when I was 4. I don't remember her. She was my moms mother. The sewing machine and cabinet belonged to my moms sister, one of my favorite aunts. The flower arrangement was a gift I gave my mom while she was in the nursing home. I lost mom just over 2 years ago. so I guess this is my tribute to the important women in my life......all since passed.

Great room. I bet it is nice sewing in there.

Great room, I bet it is nice working in there.

Looks great. I'm in the process of redoing my room again.

Your room looks great...so organized! Can we assume you have your "stash" stashed away under the orange curtains?
I wish my room looks so orderly and nice. Good job.

OH and I see a Singer 15 just like mine and a Janome 9500 like mine, longaberger baskets, your after my heart with this sewing room.

"Like" ;)

Yeppers! I have the rolling Sterlite drawers stashed under the tables stored behind the curtains....and some of my stash is in a dresser that is pictured in my first original thread showing my "before" the re-do thread. BUT....compared to most of you ladies, my stash is puny!! Mostly fabric collected just because I like it....with no project in mind. That can be good and bad!

Your room has so much color. It's great! :)

Looks real good now.

What a great room! Your Raggedy Ann doll is awesome, I have a large one that I have had since I was 5 or 6, yep she's oooold...lol...I never thought to put her out in my quilt room..good idea!

Thank you for your input on using a cafe rod with curtain rings. I painted the wall part to match the room & primered the new wood today. "Sew" I am on my way. I just know it will make my small room so much more usable. Thanks

Oh it looks so nice and clean!!!!!

Wonderful job, looks great!!

Very nice. Looks comfy.

I love the table lamp! Your room looks very comfortable and pretty.
