My sewing area redo!
 
1 Attachment(s)
When I first began quilting, just a few weeks ago, I set up a portable table and sat on the sofa in the back den (former sleeping porch). Not very comfortable, and the table wobbled when I sewed. So this week I snagged a chair at Goodwill, repainted and recovered, and swiped the desk from the kids' room that they don't use much. So much better! It just makes me smile.

Very Nice!

It looks so bright and pretty. I am in procss of doing mine but I keep changing my mind on how to do things. I try and pick up after each use because I get fustrated at the mess then I have to spend a lot of time looking for things and wondering why a can't get through the organizing and enjoy my space. Hopefull it will come soon.

nannyrick 03-16-2012 12:42 PM

I LOVE all of the second hand stuff that gets a new life. One of my favorite places to shop.

Have a blessed day/weekend.
