@Linda: The table that the sewing machine is on is a gidget II, the insert is the one that came with the sewing machine and works great! The chair is from Staples and its perfect.

I love the idea of painting the plastic...I am going to do that for the sides of the plastic bins. I modge podge the front of drawers. So far not too bad. I think I will also paint the black metal white. Thanks all for the ideas!

Carol....dont make curtians for your table....I did that for my table and it was totally ridiculous after I got it done lol....it was fine for a week but when I needed things that were in the boxes etc...well the curtians kept getting in my way......so I now have some containers that open from the front and the back that I found in a antique store.....so try to think of something you can get into quick rather then pulling curtians and having them get in your way.......but your room is awesome love what you have done it looks so cozy.......Trish

I am going to look for curtain rods that open for the back and side of the table that way it will be easy to see and get at. I onlly will have my Studio dies towards the back so that should work and I only need the dies for the begining of a project. Not sure where to buy the rods but if not in the store I am sure I could find something like that on line. I still have one bin that I want to cut into shapes and than just have one scrap wicker basket, which is pretty big with a lid.

Love your room. I bought the OTT floor light at Joann's when it was 50% off it is really bright and no glare. We also installed overhead florescents and use daylight bulbs, what a difference it made. If you do not have florescents you can get the new energy eff bulbs in the daylight and they really brighten up the room.

Love your room. It looks like we have the same machine Horizon 7700 :)

Thanks Brunswickgirl..I really, really need better lighting. That is my next think on the list. As for the plastic drawers...I modge podged them, it looks ok...but I am going to donate it to Goodwill...and get something that is better. I just done like it...waste of 59.99 - the drawers can not hold much and its still cheap looking.

I feel the same way about the plastic totes. Mine are stored away in a closet, but I have wondered about painting them with one of those specialty spray paint finishes, such as stone or wood. Just a thought, might be an alternative until you can find the right kind of shelf.

Love your room and the way you have your sewing area looking out the window. Very nice space

chamby 08-23-2013 07:20 AM

Very nice, but where is your fabric stash???

carolaug 09-02-2013 01:03 PM

I have lots of stash...too much. I did clean out and got rid of a bunch of fabrics three bags last week, and two boxes and a huge trash bag full this weekend. I have enough fabric for life...I put them in clear bins, in my desk, and also a closet full upstairs of and a hope chest full of fabric. My roll of batting hangs in the cellar...Oh yeah I forgot more clear bins of fabric down there.Yikes...I better get moving on some more quilt tops. I am very glad to get rid of some...it does begin to get overwhelming. My clean room gets messy very quickly when I start a new project.
