I've created a monster!
 
I recently got a new sewing machine. I wanted a permanent setup for it that would be ergonomically correct for me. My husband and I batted around a few ideas. I currently have a wall of computer tables for two computers, filing cabinets, etc (it's a built in). I thought I would paint and distress the dark wood to make it look like it fit in more once I get my sewing stuff in there. Last night my husband came up and said he was going to tear out the builtins and put them in the loft so my room would be totally for sewing. He had two cabinets left over that he said I could use. My friend was cleaning out her house and gave me a bunch of decorating stuff. I have paint to paint the room, but first I have to resurface the walls that my husband/son messed up while taking out the cabinets. All of the stuff that was in all the drawers is in bags in different rooms, drawers/cabinets all over the loft and in my son's room and my husband is leaving today on a business trip for three days! I'll post pictures later of the before and after. My DH said this morning, "Stop having ideas!"

How great for you! My husband used to put me on 'HGTV restriction' periodically when I would come up with too many projects around the house!

Putting on 'HGTV restrictions' periodically when come up with so many projects is not a good idea. This should be avoided.
