My NEW sewing room--in the basement
9 Attachment(s)
I posted a couple of weeks ago asking for advice about moving my sewing room to the basement. Well, over the weekend we did it. :) We first moved the treadmill to my husband's workshop, then moved all my sewing stuff downstairs. Got it semi-arranged, knowing there needed to be a LOT of storage. Then we went to my brother's for my nephew's birthday, and saw these amazing 'cubbies' that they had the kids' toys stored in--they got them at Ikea, so it was off to Ikea for us, since these would be PERFECT for a sewing room!
The ultimate plan is to replace the thin piece of carpet with something else--not sure what. And my DH is going to put in a 'real' ceiling, probably a drop ceiling with MORE lights. Also, I have a wall hanging which should be coming back from the quilting lady SOON, so that will get hung up in the room too which will add color. :) I'm going to post the pictures as 'before' and 'after'--before being the initial move of the sewing stuff, and after being once everything is in place and organized! First picture--my table with machine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]311574[/ATTACH] AFTER we got new stuff: [ATTACH=CONFIG]311575[/ATTACH] The 'cutting table corner', before. [ATTACH=CONFIG]311576[/ATTACH] Cutting corner AFTER. I rotated the table to the other wall. [ATTACH=CONFIG]311577[/ATTACH] Storage corner, before. [ATTACH=CONFIG]311578[/ATTACH] Storage corner, after. These are fantastic for storage! [ATTACH=CONFIG]311579[/ATTACH] View from the doorway into the room. [ATTACH=CONFIG]311580[/ATTACH] My husband's workshop is through the door to the right of my book/fabric shelf. Another shot of the cutting corner--put the dog bed in there for my dog. :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]311581[/ATTACH] In the above photo you can see a little of what's outside my room--our family room has double doors to outside, so it's not extremely 'basement-like'. My crochet storage area--bottom is yarn, top shelf is thread (my favorite). I got a table top ironing board from Ikea so my regular ironing board doesn't take up floor space, and can stay upstairs for ironing hubby's shirts. [ATTACH=CONFIG]311582[/ATTACH] Thanks for taking a tour of my new sewing room! I love it! |
That is looking really great!! Love those cubbies!!! I'm sure you'll enjoy creating in there!!!

You did a great job. Everything looks so fresh and orderly. You'll have lots of fun in that room.

What kind of carpet is it? If it's something you can iron on, I would leave it for now. I like to iron my quilt sandwich when I'm using fusible batt on the carpet in my basement. It gives me a nice big surface and I don't have to worry about damaging it because it's old anyways. Just a thought, of course you can do what works for you. Your new space is looking GOOD!
