Update on Re-do of craft room
5 Attachment(s)
I couldn't figure out how to update the old thread (technically challenged), but was excited to share the new stuff. Here it is, one day later and my DH followed through on his promise to help me with the heavy work. He moved the old bed to the attic and took the bigger one out of the craft room and put it in the guest room. Then he moved the temporary table into the room for my sewing machine & stuff. I spent all day yesterday getting it cleaned up and reorganized. Fabrics are in the bin and in other bins in the attic, but will get organized soon. It's a little bare now, but I'm sure it will fill up quickly. His only complaint was that it sort of echoes, but once I get a quilt or two up on the walls, that will stop! I'm sending pics of what we got done yesterday. Not much to look at yet, but a much more viable workspace for both of my colorful hobbies! (PS~I hope the photos are not too big . . . I tried to resize them but they still look big to me). :)

The room looks so much bigger now! I am sure you will fill it up with goodies!!
|
It looks great!!! Isn't wonderful when the DH will help?
|
Great room. Wonderful job.
|
Looks great.
|
Nice looking room, wish mine looked like yours:)
|
You must be so excited! We're all doing the happy dance for you.
Now you have an excuse (or reason) to make quilts - gotta loose the echo factor. Geez, things a girl's gotta do <giggle> best, d |
Really Really like your room. I hope to have mine redone this summer, will have to be upstairs. Will see if I can get my dear son in law to redo the steps. He did all the remodeling work in their home after the flood of 2011 in Minot. He did a wonderful job. I wish my DH would build the addition onto the house that he promised me and then I wouldn't have to climb the stairs. It could all be brought down and in one room with plenty of space for my machines and their tables etc. I think I might even think about applying for a VA loan to pay for the additon if I could get someone to build it.

|
Thanks for the much needed inspiration. Quilters encourging quilters. Fantastic!

Btw, my room is on the second floor, since I took over the unused bedroom when I moved in, for my glass art & sewing machine (my old Singer Slant-O-Matic, 500a, 1963 vintage). :-) |
Woderful room! You're going to be so happy with all that space.
|
Great looking room, enjoy!!!!!
|
I'm working on mine but slow process. Yours looks so inviting to come and play. Enjoy.
|
We have the same sewing cabinet. I still love it after all these years.

Just viewed your sewing room and wanted to tell you how organized it looks. I just moved from TX to KY and sadly only half of my sewing room and supplies were able to come with me.I have to wait until April to go back and get the rest out of storage. You room looks very much like the way I use to have mine. When I get it set up again I will post some photos for you to see. I do embroidery and quilting plus simple sewing and love it. You have a great room, so be proud of it and all the hubby's helping hands.
|
Looks Great!!!
|

You have a great work space. Love the peg board for all your goodies to stay organized. Have fun creating in your new room.
|
Your room looks awesome...just some open space is inspiring! :)

That's a very nice room. Looks like you have plenty of space. Your Rocketeer and cabinet are lovely.
|
Your craft room is great. I love the cabinet housing your Singer and the sewing chair at the white table is great. Looks retro!
|
Very organized!... You have a beautiful room. So happy for you!
|
Oh!! Isn't it amazing how much labor and energy it takes to do every single thing?! And the domino effect is never ending....so that when we see photos of your wonderful space, we don't see all of the moving of beds, going to the attic multiple times.....energy, energy, energy..... I think this is fabulous. You will enjoy this space so much.....congratulations!
