Beautiful room!!! Enjoy.

Fantastic ideas for the tabletops. Lucky you, having such a great neighbor. You did a great job in your planning. I'm in that process now so its great to see other quilters ideas. Thanks for sharing with us!

Very nice! What a great place to sew.

Really nice. Love the neutral colors

I haven't been on here too much lately, but I always like to check pics of sewing rooms. I love your L shape table, very clever using 2 X 4's for the legs. My rather large house will be going on the market soon and I will be moving and down sizing & thinking about another sewing room. My sewing room now is not too large, but pretty organized. The closet has 4 plywood shelves for storing all my plastic storage containers.I had an L shape area up north in the basement. I would like to do another L shape sewing area, but put cheap counter tops on top of cabinet bases (for storage)...We'll see. Great Room !! Oh, BTW, I'm June Marie

Oh, also...I love the glass door knobs. I remember the house I grew up in as a child had those. So pretty

Your room is lovely. What a great idea for sewing space. I sew on an old 1950 metal teachers desk that I salvaged from an old Catholic school with the big ole 5' chalk board hanging above so I can jot notes to myself. My space is NEVER tidy. Your room might be tiny but very well designed. My sewing room is also where I paint and upholster and up till one month ago it also held a screen printing machine. I finally got that moved because I could even walk let alone work.

The desk top is stunning. I thought the wood was the floor at first, so pretty. I prefer carpet, it is warmer in the North. If you are like me and it doesn't look like you are like me but maybe when you are sewing, I throw all threads on the floor. Even though there is a trash can right next to me, I sweep them right on the floor. That is those that aren't sticking to me. Threads can ruin a sweeper but if you buy a toilet brush for your room and I have taped mine to a old broom stick, if you run it over the over before you sweep you pick up all the threads. Don't know what made me think of that - I think you carpeting looks like what I had once and those threads like to stick in that carpet. Have a great day.

nice improvement on a budget,great job to you and your neighbor
