New Long Arm Room
 

My husband gave me a wonderful Xmas present, a used Gammill Classic Plus on a 14 ft. frame, but even better still, he remodeled our old, yucky workshop, which is adjacent to my quilting studio to make room for it. Here are some before, during and after photos you might be interested in. And for what it's worth, every piece of furniture, shelving, cabinets etc., even my Gammill are used, re-purposed, thrift store or refinished . The corner cabinets were a thrift store buy for $20, the rocker and footstool were in my basement for the last 18 years, the shelves were in the workshop (and were gross!), and the black and white drawer cabinets were elsewhere in my house - I just painted them, and voila! It's my slice of heaven! Hope all your quilting dreams come true in 2013 too!

What a great room!! I would soooo love to have that much space.

Holy Moley, from disaster to dream room, well done!

What a wonderful long arm cave!!! Your hubby is just like mine, so handy making stuff and so sweet for doing it. Enjoy!!!

If there were a prize to give, You my dear would win. What a fantastic re-do. How motivating to see what a little creativity, a little money (for the Gammill), and some effort can get. GREAT JOB! You should keep him around LOL

What a wonderful transformation, I'm so jealous. Congratulations!

What a wonderful quilting space. Enjoy.

the room is absolutely wonderful, but the quilt on the frame???????Oh, my! can we see a picture of the quilt, too?

Looks fabulous. And so neat and tidy :).

I love the B/W color scheme. I am on the home stretch with redoing my quilting area. It's no longer a LA room.

Oh my gosh this is amazing!!!!!

WOW! WOW! WOW! It's beautiful. You both are very talented at cleaning and repurposing. You should be proud. Enjoy a new year of sewing and quilting!

Oh, my! Could I borrow your husband for a while? I only have a few things that need to be fixed! Just kidding. LOL! Y'all did a fantastic job together!!

What a great space! I think you have a keeper :thumbup: Isn't it AMAZING what a little paint can do?

Congrats on your new machine and fabulous new work space!

Super space. Love it all. Enjoy your "new" machine and the great space to work in.

I don't think I would ever leave the house if I had space like that. It is beautiful. Good choice of gray flooring with white walls, furniture and black accents.

What a wonderful change. Your very lucky to have such a talented hubby and one that is so wonderful to do these things for you. He is a keeper.

Congratulations. I LIVE in my little hidey-hole. Enjoy it.

What an amazing transformation from before to after. I am so glad you posted the whole transition because it makes the room that much more special. I am also very curious about the quilt on the rack. Can you share the pattern?
