OK, So I'm ALMOST Done!
 

Howdy y'all :c)

So I re-did my sewing room. When I first set it up, I put in an 8' X 4' conference room table that I had won in a silent auction at work. I thought it would be wonderful to have so much room to spread out my fabric to cut it, and to have room to spread out my quilts while sewing. But as you can see, the table just became a catch-all because it was so big, it didn't allow room for anything for storage. I couldn't even get to my freezer before! I think the "after" is MUCH better!

I have to say, I LOVE Craigslist and the Peddler's Mall! I got my sewing desk off of Craigslist for $35.00, The "ironing table" beside the desk is a TV stand that I got at the Peddler's Mall for $24.00, and I made the ironing board that's on top of it. I put linoleum on the back of it so I can flip it over and lay my cutting mat on top of a more solid surface. The 2 bookshelves were $25.96 each at Wal-Mart. I'm living on a budget, so finding such great prices was a God-send! The first two pictures are "before" pics, and the next three are "after". So whaddya think??? :c)

Looks like you found a way to capture the room you want it! It looks so nice- what a great job.

Looks like you've been very busy. What a great job you did.

Looking great!!!

Looking good!

Took some time and effort, but well worth the work. Good job

Good job, great before & after pics !

In the process of rearranging mine right now. You did a great job of finding the right tools to find your sewing space. Happy quilting.

It looks great. I have a large table like the one you used to have, I always have stuff on it too. I do have to clean it quite regularly or I can't cut stuff out on it either. Just don't know what I would do with a small one.

What a great room conversion.

It looks wonderful!! I bet u feel less stressed too being able to get to everything now!!

You clean up well. Nice neat job.

Looks great!

I don't know who decorates our caves before we organize but it is amazing how similar they look. Your redo looks great. I think you hit on a combination the is a much better use of the space!

Wow! what a nice spacious room to create in. A job well done, thanks for sharing.

I'd say you made the room a place you want to go to, now! It looks very inviting. Have fun!

Very nice job!

Looking good Donna, the first picture looks like the way my sewing room looks right now.

excellent job :-)

What a great room! Thanks for the inspiration!

What a great and functional sewing room! Congratulations on putting it all together - you're inspiring!

Peddlers Mall, Georgetown maybe? If so I LOVE the place!...

Very nice! :)

You did a great job! Enjoy your 'new' space!

Looks like, the second time was the charm. :thumbup:

What a excellent change. Wouldn't know its the same room.

I'm so happy for you to have picked up so much for so little! What you did with it is really great. Enjoy every second in this space. I hope it inspires you to new heights.

You have inspired me. I also have a large "catch-all" table.

Great job! I can't imagine how long that took you! Love the color of your curtains!!! Great idea making your ironing board serve a double purpose!

Very nice job on the room. It looks very inviting now to sit and sew.

THIS LOOKS GREAT, good job now you can start quilting. can you find anything now , I need to get my fabric sorted better.

Wow! What a difference! You did a wonderful job making your space for quilting. :)

Oh, there's the freezer! LOL

Your room looks great and I especially love your clever pressing/cutting station!

Love your before pics, DonnaFreak. I could've sewn with you. that's my room too. Oh thank goodness, you gave me hope that I can get organized.
