We got all the drywall up and mudded. :) I am exhausted and can't wait to start sanding tomorrow. I have my paint already. I went shopping in my paint I have here already and picked out a red and warm yellow.
Don't mind the mess...it's everywhere...lol.

Very nice! You are going to have a great sewing room soon!

Thanks...I figure it was just wasted space as a garage. It would make a much better sewing room!!! Hahaha. Now we are going to have to build a bigger garage(maybe next year).

Great renovation!

Do you have your 'drywall primer' too? That goes on new drywall before the new paint.

thequiltmama 02-26-2011 04:49 AM

You are lucky,I would love to use that room...have fun :)

great aunt jacqui 02-26-2011 05:06 AM

It is a lot of work but it will be worth it when you are through. good luck in finishing it soon. cannot wait to see it all done. :thumbup: I am :mrgreen:

Oh its going to be so nice. I know you are going to love it. I turned my garage into my sewing room too. I love having my own room to hide in. Of course my mother always asks me what i am doing out there. I have everything I need or want out there. I got a chair to sit in and do hand work that has to be carried out there as soon as I finish my renovation work. Just a little reorganization..

SherryLea 02-26-2011 05:42 AM

Looks like you will be in and sewing in no time at all. Looks like you are doing a great job on it Can't wait to see the finished product.

Going to go pick that up today. I always prime first....lol...that was one of those things I know from experience. Lol.

Today is going to a fun day of sanding and putting another layer of mud down. Getting my morning dose of caffeine so I can get moving. :)

You got it!!! It will be filled too. I think it's a big room, but by the time I fit everything in there....it's going to be a cluttered sewing room. I'm ok with that. I just need it all to be in one room and organized. :lol: :lol: :lol:

feffertim 02-26-2011 07:51 AM

It's going to be great. Keep us posted

Great idea, I did the same thing, except we had a carport. I enclosed it to make a finished garage (Electric garage door is insulated and double faced so we can convert to garage if we sell). I have tons of shelving (don't ask me how much they cost, I was afraid to keep track). Just know that someday someone will have a NICE finished and heated/cooled garage. I know you will enjoy your new space as much as I do. Congratulations and keep posting photos.

SandyinZ4 02-26-2011 08:30 AM

This is going to be so nice for you. Please do keep us posted with pics of progress. YOu will have so much fun sewing and creating in your very own space.

luvstitches 02-26-2011 08:34 AM

I can see already that is going to be a fabulous sewing room.
I can't wait to see it when it's finished.
Good luck!

hperttula123 02-26-2011 09:14 AM

Thanks everyone. I'm so excited about it finally happening.
