Brilliant. What a great way to use your space.

this is very clever of you. i have a twin bed in my sewing room, but no headboard,, and my room is very small, so i can only do some basic sewing items.

for several years I used 2 flush doors from a remodel project after removing handles and hinges, covered them with stick and peel floor tiles I got at discount for $10. I used the double sided stickee tape and attached the doors to the top edges of several 3 drawer plastic containers. I used these as a long work area table in my sewing room. The drawers were strong enough to support the tables and everything in the drawers was easily accessible. Naturally, I did not have my sewing machines on these tables, but certainly were a lot of space for little money. When I finally was able to buy good tables, didn't mind throwing the doors to the side because they had served their purpose...twice.

That is sooo smart - can I borrow your idea?
Thanks so much for sharing.

Fabulous use of space and furniture at hand. Love it !

Great tip! We do have one of those bed's too the white version. One of my DD's uses it. At times they have so much fun pulling it out and sleeping in it with all 3 girls or more.

Love the window.............perfect.

What a great solution. Now you have a sewing room AND a guest room in one.

Annz 09-03-2010 06:34 PM

Very clever.

I have a hollow door I use. I got it from the manager when he was remodeling the other duplex, and when I am sewing, I pull my cutting table out, and put it on that. when I am done ironing, I push it to the back side, and use the front size for cutting. I have to put it all away when I am done for the day, as I sew in the living room. I love your idea. God bless.

That is so cool.

So clever! I wish I'd thought of that years ago when I had to use the away-at-school kid's bedroom as my sewing room. Would have made things so much easier. Still wouldn't have been able to sew in there when he was home from school, though. Within 2 hours of him moving out for good, I was painting my 'new' sewing room. He said I hadn't even let the bed get cold before I moved in. He was right!

Great idea! love the dual purpose ideas.

Very smart use of space! I sure wish I would've thought of this back when my only available room was used for a guest room, office and sewing room...and it is small! (Eventually it just became a sewing room! <smile>)

You sure have a nice setup for your sewing :)

Most day beds have 3 rails instead of 2...door should work great...height may be the issue.

Excellent Idea!!
