you are very lucky

Congratulations! Be sure to make yourself a cool design wall and plenty of storage space!

Congratulations!!

good for you.4 yrs ago my honey and I bought an old farmhouse.It needed/still needs lots of work but I now have a sewing room ,a fabric/book room and a quilting room for my longarm,yea.I am also an empty nester.I spent most of my life sewing on the kitchen table or coffee table sew I am blessed now.

Congrats....having your own space gives you the option of sewing at a moment's notice....and since I work 40 hours a week....sometimes I just want to sit and sew for 5 or 10 minutes....it adds up!

Enjoy! Look at IKEA, Pottery Barn, etc., catalogs for good storage shelves, cabinets and then see if you can make look alikes or buy cheaper at stores or online.

Wow, what a nice size room you're going to have! You're going to go crazy trying to figure out what you want to go here or there. There are some books on designing sewing spaces, maybe they can give you ideas you haven't thought of yet. You've got a really nice hubby who takes your sewing seriously enough to do this for you. :thumbup:

Good for you! My hubby gave me space in our finished basement. Still waiting for my large cutting table, but for now I have 2 tables serving my needs. I love it!

Tally Kathy is right...Do a search here for An English Country Sewing Room and see what she has done. Her cutting table you can find at Ikea http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60045393. She put two of them back to back, filled the shelves with bins and put her cutting mats on top. They are a great height for cutting. I can't afford them, but my husband is going to build me something similar.

Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS! It is such a blessing to have your own space!

One good thing about having lots of bedrooms when the kids are home is when they leave the rooms are empty! I have four spare bedrooms now.
