New Sewing Room In New (To Us) House
 

We recently sold our home in So. CA and moved to Yakiima, WA. We were looking for a house and we had a wish list. On it was a woodworking shop and large garage/shop to put DH's tractors in (he was storing one at his sister's and one at a friend's), and a sewing studio for me. In our CA house, I had the large back bedroom as my sewing room, I also stored stuff in the guest room closet, I had a machine set up in the family room so I could sew in there if I got lonely in my sewing room, and I had my fmq setup in the living room. DH had his woodworking shop in the garage.

We found a house with a 1200 sq. ft. shop perfect for DH's tractors (and then some), and a woodworking shop (the seller was a woodworker and had a shop built off the house, it's climate controlled and has a garage door so equipment is easy to move in and out), and next to that shop is a 14'x25', 350 sq. ft. room that was the kid's playroom, with SEWING STUDIO written all over it!

DH has been retired for 8 years, I retired July 1st, this is a new chapter in our lives and we're so excited that we got so lucky to find such a great new place to live!

That sounds like such a wonderful house! My boyfriend is a woodworker too and he is working out of the garage which means my suv is out in the snow all winter. Dream house for us is a separate wood shop for him and a bigger sewing/craft room for me. Enjoy!

Sounds like you found the perfect place for both of your hobbies! It just doesn't get much better than that.

Congratulations on your find! Isn't retirement great?

Congratulations on retirement! Enjoy your new adventure in a new town and house.
