My quilting room
 
5 Attachment(s)
We recently moved to a downstairs bedroom, so our old bedroom is now my quilting room. Our house has slanted walls which makes it difficult for furniture. Started moving furniture in Dec & finally bought a Closet Maid cabinet for fabric storage (still empty!) and this great floor lamp that works well with our walls. Still love the 5' patio doors for my view.

Don't you just love having a space of your own? I sure do.

carrieg 02-23-2014 02:14 PM

Thanks! Still a work-in-progress. We put the sewing machine table in the middle of the room. Who says it has to be by a wall. I wanted the view. LOL Because of the angles, we are limited with what size furniture we buy. Then to get anything up the stairs, because the stairs are against the slant wall.

Looks really good.

Looks like the perfect set-up...and plenty of space. Hey - I have that same lamp in my sewing room. That's a nice looking sewing machine you have there. What is it?

carrieg 02-23-2014 03:51 PM

Sewing machine is a Janome 6600. DH set it up for me so it is flush with the table top. :-)

Carrie, I live in an a frame so recognize some of the problems with sloped ceiling/walls
This is one of the things I've done is buy the common as a old shoe white shelving units and turn them upside down. I have at least 10 of them in my quilt room.

Notice the thread storage above the cutting board, framed to take into account the slope of the timber.
Love all that light you have!

That's my colored pencil draft of my current project. LOL Here's a pic that shows it hanging on my design wall.

Nice room! I would use the sloped ceilings as a design wall! You will have such a fun time pulling it all together and making it your own. My sewing machine does not face a wall. I have a window behind me when I sew. The light is wonderful!

Very nice room, great 5ft. door, lets in lots of light. Best to make the best out of what you have to work with and you did.

michelleoc 02-25-2014 08:44 AM

Those slanted ceilings are a challenge, but you stepped up with no problem! Great space. I love the big door so you get a lot of light in there.
