Thank u for noticing my magazine files. So I bought them plain white (ie ikea brand) on amazon. They were like maybe $12 for 10. I actually bought scrapbook paper 50% off at michaels and basically cut the paper to fit the outside end of the files. I made homemade modpodge from 1 part water and 1 part Elmer's glue. I brushed the mix on the file end and wrong side of paper, carefully place the paper on the file box, then coated right side of paper with mix. It looked a bit wrinkly while wet, but after drying overnight it looks great( I also used this method on that cherry blossom canvas with s on it on my back wall) I had the metal labels that I bought on clearance from staples that were peel and stick. They were gold colored and I spray painted them with a silver metallic paint and then stuck them on the finished file boxes. Now it took some time to collect all the items because I am cheap and bought the paper and metal label holders on clearance, but it was worth the wait. Thank you for the kind words.

Your room is beautiful!! I am in the process of moving my sewing room out of the guest room, a small room with a double bed taking up most of the room, and into the formal living room. Like you, I want my creative space to be beautiful as well as functional. In your china cabinet you have boxes and magazine storage that look like you covered yourself with fabric to match your room. Can you explain how you did it, or were you lucky enough to find them ready made? Thanks for sharing!

The white, pink and turquoise colored boxes are actually photo boxes that I patiently waited for 50% off at micheals and hobby lobby. I bought a few at a time until I had the amount I needed. I can't wait to see your space.

Oh, I love your space!! It is decorated just lovely. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas. :) You are so nice to share all these money saving storage tips. I will be able to finally have my own sewing space this year. I will be taking over our sun room which is climate controlled. I will have to think about some type of window treatment though. But will definitely be employing some of your GREAT money saving storage ideas. THANK YOU!

Wow, you can come do mine anytime!!!!! lol

You would have to drag me out of that room. I would not want to leave it. It so attractive and inviting.

Thank you. Mostly free only cost me elbow grease and paint. It took about a year to put together, but worth it. Everything has its place. I even built my thread boxes, did the art work, built my shelf above, added under cabinet lighting. It has been a joy the past few months sewing in it. I have even managed to complete 4 baby quilts in the past 5 weeks.
|
You did an awesome job!! What vitamins are you taking? I need to try them!!
|
That's awesome, very pretty. I would love to work in that room. Also your thread holders are really nice. You can easily see all the thread whenever you want but can hide it away when not needed. I think I like those better than the thread racks. And I like the racks because I can see all my thread at once.
|
Fantastic ! Thanks for showing us what a room can become !
|
You have a talent for creating a wonderful working space.
|
Looks like a boutique. What fun to sew in there.
|
So pretty and creative … great job of refurbishing! Enjoy your new space.
|
What a great and cheery sewing area. I love your storage shelves for your thread and the little dowels to store the bobbin right beside the spool of thread. Very smart and crafty!
