My New Quilting Studio...Finished
 

And, it's a mess already!

Centre island is made out of Ikea storage shelving, with most cubbys filled with drawers but some with bins or just magazine holders, large ironing surface is a board that was shaped and padded and covered then glued to the top of a dresser, sewing machine is fitted flush into the surface and then there is a long run of countertop to the left. My scrap stash is a mess in the shelving unit in plastic bins from the dollar store and my design wall is 2 flannel backed tablecloths, also from the dollar store.
The light over the cutting table is actually meant for a shop, so it's a little bright, but you're safe so long as you don't look directly at it.
My long arm has oodles of room in the basement. I haven't managed to get all the long arm supplies put away yet, but I am working on shelving for those. For now it's all in boxes and bins along the wall.
Creative people don't make messes. They just have ideas lying around everywhere.

Oh I like your being able to go around the cutting table. That is nice. Good for you!

Looking great! It will look even better when you get everything sorted out and placed to your satisfaction in both areas! Progress!

Love it! We made the same Ikea-hack cutting table :)

This is wonderful. A place in my dreams

Looking good! Will give you a nice place to "zone out" if you know what I mean?

Looking good!
I never realized how useful Ikea can be until I got several pieces for my sewing room. They are a game changer for me.

You will probably never leave it. Enjoy!!!

Wonderful space! Don’t you just love Ikea!

That looks so good! I'm trying to commit your last couple sentences to memory so next time my son rolls his eyes at the clutter in my sewing space, I'll be ready!!

I would just love to have the space that you now have. I do envy your cutting table, mine is too small or has too much stuff piled on it.

What a lovely planned space! Three cheers to the window. Just like all the declutter challenges from last month :), take on one area at a time and in a shorter time that you would think, all will be perfect. But really, who wants perfect? Don't we really mean we want thing in a place where we can reach them easily and store them where we can find them again.

You've created a beautiful space for your sewing retreat. It looks perfect!

Things are looking good and all the ikea units are working well for your studio. You will be able to make great progress on any projects you start.

Your room looks amazing - you’re going to enjoy it, for sure! And I have to remember that quote. “Creative people don’t make messes. They just have ideas lying around everywhere.” That is awesome!

Wonderful spaces! I love both wall hangings. You are making great progress in your new home.

Great space! Can't wait to see all the great ideas that come out of it.

Watson, your new studio spaces are amazing! Glad you've got them up and running, can't wait to see what you create next.

How wonderful! I know your smile everytime you walk in it.

Can't wait to see what beautiful creations come from your new studio! You're all set in your new space - congrats!

Some of the best therapy spaces I have seen in awhile. Great job setting them up in your new home.
