The Bunker - finally all set up
Still playing around with what I should call my space - referring to it as the bunker for now, since it is on the lower level and it’s my ‘safe space’ lol. My Dh has relinquished the entire level to me, 3 rooms. How lucky am I? It’s taken some experimentation, but I’m pretty happy with how I’ve organized it. I’m retired now, so this has been a long time coming and a dream come true. To add icing to the cake I discovered a lovely quilt guild (English speaking too!) just a 10 minute drive away.
Here’s the tour...

Formerly the bedroom, repainted from bright orange to white and it now houses a used Nolting Hobby Quilter on a Gracie table which I purchased used last year. Finally ready to use! The wall cabinet houses all my books and some fabric and notions. My lovely supportive DH helped me with the design wall.

Another view of the longarm room, DH added a shelf to the small closet, it’s nice and deep, 30 inches. I also keep the wireless printer in this room, handy for paper piecing.

Formerly the family room, but we have a living room on the main floor which is fine for the 2 of us. I added a large folding table from Costco and prettied it up with a quilt, 70 linear inches of cutting space, which I love. I keep a treadmill here as well, to keep me limbered up during the long cold Canadian winters.

Entire back wall is enclosed closets, middle closet holds my stash, lots of room to expand.

I have a TV in front of my machine so I can listen to podcasts, utube instructional videos, music. The 3rd room is to the right of the stairs. A bathroom/laundry room which does double duty as my ironing space. DH and I made a big board this week, 22” across and 60” long, which sits on top of my regular ironing board.

More storage space above the washer/dryer, and an extra counter which is handy for trimming after pressing.

Another cabinet for storage, I chose to hang rulers, smaller mats with Command hooks on the inside of the door.

And a little nook for hand sewing. I keep some finished, seasonal quilts, table runners etc in the cabinet.
Thanks for looking.
