Sewing room redo
 

I wanted to separate my sewing and my computing areas in my room. Previously they shared and L-shaped desk. Also to lower the height of my sewing machine table to ease the strain in my shoulders.

My son suggested we go to IKEA. bought two tables. He and my grandson put the tables together. Then my son cut the hole for my machine in one table; put a shelf under it to hold my sewing machine. He put casters on the other table to raise it for cutting. Now they sit so the cutting table can hold a quilt when it is on the machine. And it can be rolled out for moving around when cutting.

I'm so happy.

can i borrow your son. he did a great job blessings to you and yours. ogama

Oh I am so jelous! I have a large craft room but no organization at all! something to tackel after the first of the year. Love your tables great idea!

Very nice and I love the horse quilt on the wall, can I ask the name of the pattern?

what a clever and handy son you have. May I borrow him?

looks great wish I had an Ikea close by

That is great. My sewing room is small and stuffed full.

Great use of space! Your son and grandson are keepers.

Didn't you post this 'redo' 2 days ago? Or is the QB duplicating your post?

Very handy son you have, i would keep him around if i were you. Great job.

It was on a Fons and Porter show--still on their website. #1613 I think. They had it in big red flowers and the pattern got lost. It isn't had but do measure carefully when you make the template and do a sample. I didn't do either and my points are very bad. bought the horse fabric from a board member. Marbeth

I may have, I posted it on Facebook. I'm really proud of the job they did for me. I should add that Walt put the floor down for my birthday last year. It's first life was to be the floor in peanut factory. Then his bedroom floor. He thought I needed it and took it up from his house and brought it to me. Took the carpet out of this room and put it into his bedroom. It is hundre year old heart pine.

Love the redo.

I love it all, but that flooring is awesome! My favorite flooring ... although I have none of it!

What a great job the boys did for you. Who is the artist in the family? I love the clothsline picture!:D

Well, good for you!! You're so lucky to have such handy men around. Wish I had one!

Wonderful!!!

Very nice. Enjoy. You are v ery lucky to have someone to do that for you.

Wow, Wish I had a handy person around like that!!!:)

What a great space!! Enjoy

Very nice.

Looks great. I love the way your son cut the hole in the table to sit the machine in it. Great job.

Wonderful set up. Great to have elves to make it all happen

A great idea! I like it :)

Love your sewing room! You are so fortunate to have such a helpful son!

Doesn't your son want to do an African tour? It is summer here now! Enjoy the 'new' room.

what a great area and don't you just love your Janome?

He did a nice job on that table, good idea.

what a sweetheart! he made your sewing table. that is so great of him to do that. bake him a cake :-)

That looks wonderful .They did great job.Happy sewing

Oho, that is very clever! I see he drilled a hole for your knee lift. I'll have to remember that one. Ikea is such a great place for affordable furniture, and you sure put these pieces to good use. Now, if Ikea was smart, they would start offering sewing tables.

Enjoy your new room!

Oh, I wanted to comment on the paintings. They are lovely!! I like the clothesline especially. Did you paint them yourself?

wow, that's fantastic. you are deff blessed to have someone who has the skill and talent to do that for you. Enjoy. :)

Looks like that was the ticket.How nice to have such handy son.

Great son. I love your new sewing set-up. Looks like it makes it easy for you to get to now. Think I might need to show it to my dh. Thanks for sharing.
