WOW have fun in your new room. You will love your retreat.

wow lucky you. I like the idea of a wood floor and the fan. I have carpet in the area I sew in.(no sewing room) and I track thread and tiny scraps all over. even using a thread catcher you miss it sometimes. I tend to sew and just aim for it.I'm not a good shot I guess. anyway good luck and enjoy your new home. Mary

WOW! So nice that your new sewing room comes with it's own 3 bdr house!

Pull up the carpet and put down a wood floor or laminate floor of some sort. Or deal with it and decorate around it!

Enjoy! Can't wait to see pics of the room, house and how you decorate it!

Congrats! Sewing rooms are great. We didn't have the money to put in laminate when we had a leak and had to pull the carpeting. Home Depot has a great product that is vinyle,but looks like wood. It is really easy to put down. I did mine myself (my studio is 17'X28" as I have a longarm and my office). I even used one of quilting rules to cut the tiles with a utilty knife. It look a couple of days as I had to move things to one end and back again. I also had to wait to have my husband help me move the big stuff (14' longarm and cabinets left over from his business). Anyway this product comes in 6" X 36" strips and overlaps kind of like laminate. It has a 25 year warrenty and comes in 3 colors. My handyman said "Oh, you went with wood in here."

How exciting for you!!!! I agree with the laminate floor idea. That is what I did in my studio, and I love it. Even the overspray from my DSIL with batting spray came right up with a light amonia and water solution. Just Swiffer it every day and its done

How exciting!!!! When I hear "Auction" I never think of a home. Congrats! I agree with everybody else - pull up the carpet and put down some pergo or laminate. That's what I had in our last house - with an area rug add color and to make scooting my chair easy. We just moved two months ago and my sewing room now has carpet just like the rest of the house. Next spring that will be coming up! Hope everything goes smoothly with your move and don't forget to post pics once you get things settled in. Again Congrats!

My sewing room is carpeted, so every once in a while, I use a toilet brush to pick up threads. Oh yeah, I bought a new brush just for this purpose. :roll:
