Well, now that I have my sewing room cleaned up, and may not do THAT again for awhile, I thought I'd share pictures. Since we have a 4 bedroom house, I get a WHOLE room for my office/sewing room. In about a month I won't need an office because I'm dissolving my home business. I'll have filing cabinet space for patterns and projects. The computer will be for the quilting board! This used to be my son's room, and then my daughter moved into it when he left home because of the big closet. The paisley wallpaper went on about 16 or 17 years ago for her - and I left it because it reminds me of my youth I guess! My DH (I'm hoping that means something positive, cause I'm new at this) is a retired building contractor, so he did a wonderful job making a counter for me out of 2 hollow core doors. He built a nice window seat for me so I can keep my books underneath. I've had this room for several years now, but the addition of the white cabinets is new - they came out of my daughter's hallway. The cutting/pressing table used to be the check out counter at my niece's shop (np3's daughter) It's a perfect size and has good storage underneath. The little storage chest was in the garage for years. I painted it and added labels on the drawers for notions and stuff. I JUST added the thread holder on the wall, too - I LOVE it! That's about it - it's pretty cozy in here.

It is lovely! so neat and organized. Looks like a place you can enjoy yourself. Very pretty:)

What a great room, Is it always this neat. I love it.

What a sweet, cosy room. Thanks for sharing :)

You recycled or repurposed so many of the 'features' of the room, and it looks great. I know you'll thoroughly enjoy it.

Aren't handy husbands great to have around?

Lucky you! I have everything crammed in my bedroom. Very nice

I just love it, love the pink chest,the map, especially the puzzle picture. Your dh did a great job with the doors and the window seat. You got it going on now, girl.

Organized, I got a headache already. This is what I need to take time too do. Thanks for sharing.

Your room is very nice and organized...enjoy your space. :-)

Ha! It's NEVER this neat - that's why I took a picture! I'll start on another project now and things will pile up, then I'll reach a point where I can't work in here until it's clean again. It's a vicious circle! Is it just me? Anybody?

We all start out that way. When the kids are grown and gone (sometimes for the SECOND time) you'll eventually turn one of those bedrooms into your oasis:)

What a beautiful room, everything needed close at hand!! Love,love,love it!! How did you do the picture labels, I'm afraid that may be out of my computer skills!! DH stands for Dear Husband and you sure have one!!

Just gorgeous! :thumbup: Looks like a great hideout.

What a lovely room. And pink goes along ways too. Look so very comforting there.

super-dooper ! a great room! great things will come out of this room

Nice space! I love your picture labels!

Beautiful room, so organised, so creative (even the drawer handles look like buttons)...Ah well, I can but dream...the room is not out of the question...just the finish, so to speak!

I just went to Google Images and searched for what I wanted. When I find the right picture, I can just "drag" it onto my desktop. I have a Mac, so I'm not sure how you save them on a PC.

What a great room.

Great space to create I love how you made do with what you had around the house. I could spend lots of time in there I love PINK.

looks like a wonderfully creative space ~ if you need company to help you create, just let us all know... :)

Very pretty room, love the touches of pink, my favorite color ! (sigh..) I'm sooo jealous. I'm like you, when it gets so piled up that I can hardly work in there, I clean it up an so goes that cycle !!

Lovely room, I'm soooo jealous :mrgreen:

What a sweet, cosy room. I like it . It's inspiring that you can use what you have to make a nice sewing room.

WOW! I want a room like that! It is so neat and organized. Thank you for sharing.

Great sewing room, so organized and lots of nice features to make your sewing and quilting easier, May in Jersey

Lovely space! So organized! I love the window seat and the pics on the storage chest. The window area is so pretty. Thx for sharing.

Would your DH be interested in a holiday in Australia? Mine is a lovely man, but a chocolate teapot when it comes to building stuff :)

thanks for sharing your room with us! Lots of great storage and work surfaces. I love seeing how folks arrange and organize their sewing rooms. I am going to be setting up a sewing room for myself this week-end...I can hardly wait!!!!

Maureen, your sewing room is adorable. I love the little pink dresser with the knobs painted to look like buttons. Congratulations on your retirement.

How wonderful. I just the pink - the dresser and the chair especially.

Maureen, your room is just wonderful! DH = Dear Husband, and you sure have one! Congrats on getting your room cleaned up and organized. It sure looks perfect to me ;)
Thanks for sharing ~ Pat

Love the room, and the way you have it organized.

What a great room to work in!! Enjoy the organization while it lasts!! Lol.

That is a great corner....very pretty and neat. Looks like a wonderful getaway for you. Enjoy

Wonderful space. Congrats

Wonderful space. Congrats

Nice area. I love your idea: "I made picture labels on these drawers for notions "

How nice and neat. Thank you for sharing your sewing room. I wouldn't dare allow a camera in mine at the moment. Too many UNO's!

Really organized and pretty. All you need is a cat for that window seat!
