    Smile My girlie cave

    This area is 12'7x7'6 which is set up for my sewing area. I repainted this room with paint i already had on hand from other projects. The wall paper border I purchased years ago which was in storage and forgotten. I need a new floor but all in due time. I just purchased a small area rug from walmart so I would have the funds to purchase a few bits of fabrics.[ATTACH=CONFIG]428219[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]428218[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]428220[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]428221[/ATTACH]The old filing cabinet is being covered in woodgrain contact paper as the cabinet is old and was used for many different things in the past. The wooden shutters on the bottom of the window I made myself a few years ago, salvaging it from my neighbors torn down fence. I sanded it down and painted birds on each board, then sealed it and installed hinges. The artwork on the wall i painted myself. My cutting table is an antique table that i got from my great aunt and uncle. It needs to be refinished but covering it up with cutting mats, no one will notice. The bucket is my waste bucket for now. Lil storage bins rolled under the cardtable for items and basket in background for scraps. Im also planning on putting up a shelf and setting up a portable frame over my front door for my designer wall. We have 2 front entrances , this one no one uses so it will be ok. Its just a matter of using what you have and making it work for you. For me sheds would not work as its too hot and humid in our long summers and damp, wet, and humid in the winter months. Small areas can be efficient.
