[Quote]MG: where to put computer? I never thought about that, that’s one thing I have rethink! So glad you mentioned it. Thread? Not sure. I want to display some of my quilts, and my antiques, as well. May not have wall space to do thread that way. There is going to be lots of windows on two of the four walls. In the past I just threw it in baskets on shelves. I use those little tiny plastic bags from Hobby Lobby so they don’t collect dust or get all tangled. I am so totally naïve about what you mean by “Quilt inspectors”[Quote]
Sorry about that. My quilt inspector is a 6 pound black poodle. If I'm in my sewing studio, so is she.

Update on new quilting studio
I went antiquing again. Came home with four new "finds" 
Then i started thinking.... Maybe I should make sure it will all fit. ??? A couple of you advised me about graphing it out. So I found a copy of the preliminary design, from the architect and tried to “reproduce” it on cardboard, in a one inch to one foot ratio. I made little pieces of paper for each item I envision in the space. They are pinned on with quilter's pins so I can arrange and rearrange so this may not be the final design. I keep looking at it and trying to envision working in the space. Below are pictures of the plans, along with pics of my latest antique store finds.

This little hobby horse was only 10 dollars, and I want to repair the crack and add a quilted saddle. Ella and Leo – my quilt inspectors – will love it.

Love this table. The pictures on the top will have to go or be covered with some of my own. I’m sure I’ll come up with something.

A nice vintage mag rack for the latest quilting magazines.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]322771[/ATTACH]This I have BIG plans for, but that is a surprise, so you’ll have to wait and see.

thanks, Helen6869, I told DH the rocking horse would have to go at the end of his office space cause that was the only empty space left, on my floorplan. I want to keep open space between the office area and the sitting area, not just for walking but for the two munchkins to play there. The horse will move into the open area when in use. He said he would "tolerate" that! I said he better "tolerate" it or else he wouldn't get his "mancave" in the basement under this room. LOL

I'm officially moving!
I will not be posting to this thread any more. Sorry guys, but if you want to see the finished studio you'll have to come on over to the haven. Everytime i go to send a reply or update to QB i end up sending it two or three times. My computer says it has to recover the page. If I didn't think to save it somewhere on my own computer i have to go back and type it all over again. It doesn't happen at the haven. only here. This is a great forum and i have enjoyed my time here but the Quilting Haven is so much more user friendly. so much easier to navigate. And i just don't have the patience to update stuff on both boards. I'll drop in now and then just to look around but my personal journaling and sharing will mostly be done at the haven. http://www.quiltinghaven.com/online-...961/#msg119961 In addition to my journal regarding the studio, i started an album of quilts i have made. http://www.quiltinghaven.com/index.p...a=album;in=356
I know i will see some of you over there because i have already!!!!
