Storage around window
We retired a few years ago, and I asked DH to wait before fixing up my sewing area, (dining room
)until I have sewn a few projects, so that I can determine what I need, and where I need it. The area is open-plan and both DH and I share this space, so I wanted it to be easy to organize and clean up when needed.
At first I thought cubbyholes along the entire white wall on the right, but using some bookcases to get the feeling of how it will work, I eventually discarded that idea.
The room is long and narrow, so the cubbies would make it even narrower.
Then I remembered that I have always loved window-seats......
So, when I measured the window, I realized the walls on either side is just about the size of a quilt block (liitle bigger) but it will make perfect cubbyholes!!
And .....if we put doors in front, it will be easy to clean (read hide clutter
)!!!It is finished now, but we are leaving for a visit with the kids, so I am just stuffing everything in
....when we get back I will sew
a French blind for the window, and organize it so it is "user-friendly". I love how it looks, and especially the window-seat!!
