As promised, I finally am posting photos of my dream sewing studio. We built our dream (retirement) home four years ago. It is a rambler walk-out on a lake in SW Minnesota. It has 2500 square feet on each of its two levels. The lower level is yet unfinished. However, my sewing studio is in lower level. It takes up nearly a third of the entire lower level. The studio is completed, and is about 20 feet by 20 feet square. The room behind the studio is about the same size and is finished, but still needs a home quilting set-up (with a 10 ft. table) for me to be able to consider it done. Hopefully, when I finish school--we can get that so I can quilt my own tops. The photos are of the actual studio facing the lake.

Oh, I'm pea green with envy. I have moved out of my little 11 x 13 storage room up to one of the bedrooms (with a view). Your room looks wonderful.

Where's the coffe pot?

VERY posh! Love your studio...and I so miss the lake!

Beautiful room! With quite a view!

Your studio is truly a dream come true. Beautiful

Fabulous! You are going to so enjoy yourself here!!!

What a wonderful place to be! Your sewing studio is beautiful and very roomy! I think you could have a lot of fun in there.

What a beautiful sewing room. A wonderful place to create and see the lake too. Jealous!

Awesome space and view!!!! Ah, I miss the snow! Nothin cosy-er than to sit with a nice cup of hot coffee, tea or cocoa, watching the snow fall, and curling up with.... my sewing machine!!!! Yeah!

Thow a cat or two in there, and I'd be in heaven!

Beautiful, you'll so enjoy it!

Gosh--barely got one photo posted and you were there! Thank you for the compliments. It took absolutely years to get what I wanted in terms of space.
Definitely a view or lots of light (at the very least is the way to go!)
Thank you again. You're very sweet!

So are ya going to invite us over.... Man that is an AWESOME ROOM!

OO dang Minn. umm my MIL is there and I REFUSE to enter the state... are ya willing to relocate! They do move houses.. I'm just sayin...........

Actually, when we get around to completing the lower level, the coffee pot will residfe right behind the wet bar we plan to put in!
Right now, I have a hot water pot I use for tea in my room. Would you like to join me for a cup?

Incredible space! Ah, the joys of retirement! I can't wait!
Maureen

Thank you so much!
Definitely living on a lake is a wonderful thing.
I admit it. I am a very spoiled lady!
The DH catches walleyes out there regularly.
Come visit whenever you'd like.

Dawn: You're too funny. Yep, Minnesota--where we have something these days that looks like a frozen tundra! LOL

Gorgeous! Thx so much for posting pics. Inspirational for us all. Do I spy a Pfaff 75xx? Livin' the dream! Good luck in nursing school, I got a BSN in 1996, and it has brought me so many blessings.

Beautiful space.

Gorgeous Space

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: lovely space......i really mean it!

Great space and what a wonder place to enjoy the winter, from the inside looking out.

All I can say is WOW

Thank you so much Maia...and not just for the compliments on the sewing room but also the encouragement about pursuing the BSN.
And yes, I have a Pfaff 7530 which I absolutely adore. I've sewn on it for years (with never a problem, I might add). I also own the 7570, complete with all the embroidery stuff but rarely use it with school being my focus. Once I'm finished with school, the 7570 will sit to the left of the computer (where all the textbooks hang out now), so that I can embroider at the same time I'm piecing a quilt top.
Again TY!

Thank you ms!
PS: You've become a fave of mine here, you know-I so appreciate your kindness!


;)

That is a beautiful room & view - and nice of you to make sure there is room for a guest! Put the coffee on, we will be dropping by!!!

Wish I would have known you when I lived in MN. What a wonderful sewing environment!

Gosh, don't know what I like more.. the view or the room!!! I think I would spend most of my time there just looking out!!! Congrats on a really great room.

Fantastic space! If I were to say I was jealous, I would feel guilty for not appreciating what I have.... with that said, all that AND WINDOWS TOOOOOOOO :)

I'll be your friend to use the other sewing machine! I'm totally green :hunf:

I'd like a sewing retreat at your house please ;) - it's really incredible. Thank you for giving my mind some sustinance to feed off of until I can some day accomplish the same dream.... :-D

Explosive blessings, abundance and inspiration to you all!

AWESOME, that is a dream room. I will need to know how soon i can move in...lol, jk. that is great.

Looks like you've thought of everything. You'll have a lot of fun in that room. Too bad we can't all join you. (A few at a time of course. ;) )

Perfect!! :D

I envy you. It is gorgeous. Where in Minnesota?? I live in SW Minnesota also.. May have to come and visit.

Wonderful!! Enjoy!!

Your 'Dream Sewing Studio' is awesome.
The natural light and space is great to create and enjoy sewing in.
I would daydream with my morning coffee watching all the beauty looking out all those beautiful windows.

You are most blessed and thank you for sharing your dream that is reality now with us.

Blessings,
Sandi

I'm north and west of Worthington about 15 minutes, just outside the little town of Dundee. We live on the south side of East Graham Lake.
Where are you at?

What a wonderful room and I think I'd have to be pinching my self constantly to make certain I wasn't dreaming. Your vista is beyond words! Hooray for you!

It is a beautiful room... I wish you many years of happy sewing!

Hugs
