I am actually considering doing this and just hanging it over the area where my electric breaker box is. It's already closed in, but it would be nice to cover the area. I might actually stretch and staple a design wall over a bit piece of canvas and then I can move it when I need to get to the breaker box!!!

My Sewing room has the 1970's paneling in it too!!! I primed and then painted it..looks great, much brighter and cleaner!! Try drilling pilot holes for the screws and nails, it really makes it easier!! Plus I was afraid I'd get ticked off and really wollup the stuff and put a big hole in it :lol: :lol: :lol: Mine is the main path between the garage and the rest of the house, so everybody dumps their stuff :evil: So I'm in the process of evicting everything that's not MINE!! Enjoy, there's nothing quite like a nice neat sewing space (even if the neat part doesn't last long!)

I GOT TO SEW IN MY ROOM FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT!!! WOOO HOOOOOO!! Mum and I started up our Thursday night quilting group last night. Although there were only 3 of the 5 of us there, we each had lots of room to work on our projects! I worked on making a rod pocket for another big wallhanging I plan to hang in my sewing room this weekend. I also started working on some chenille projects I've been wanting to make!

Trevor is working overnights this weekend and it's a long weekend here so guess what I'll be doing in the evenings when the sun goes down!! I'm seeing a few late nights this weekend. Me and the pooch hanging out in my little cozy room with some tunes playing, fabric flying, and perhaps a couple dog treats!!! hmm okay dog treats for Alexi and I'll pick up a bottle of red wine for me and some nibblies!! I think I'll have me a little sewing room warming party with me and pooch!!!! hee heee

Pictures are coming THIS weekend!!! I have to pick up a couple little things at the hardware store and Fabricville to complete the decor and then I'll be taking lots of photos!
