We will be remodeling out garage soon and that is where my sewing space will be...I can't wait! But you have so many windows to sit and look outside! Nice!

Good luck...it took my guys about 3 months once we got all the garden tools, lawnmowers, gravely's, etc...moved to the barn. You'll love your new space!

What a wonderful space!

What an awesome sewing studio! Love your wall colors & window treatments. Everything is arranged & organized to use the room to it's best potential. You are very lucky to have your guys do that for you.

The space got totally rewired, insulated, new floor, new lights, etc. Believe it or not, almost all of the furniture got dragged out of the house or barn (leftovers from the kids rooms, parents, etc.). The TV (good only for movies, not hooked up to cable) is there because my husband got a plasma. I did buy a dropped leaf table from a resale shop (opens 5'x5'). I reupholster furniture as a hobby, crochet afghans (frenzied sometimes) and now quilt.
I love fabrics. Most fabric I buy on ebay (esp upholstery fabrics), some at shops.

I was spread out over 3 rooms upstairs and reupholstered furniture in the living room. Now my upstairs has lovely guest rooms again and I reclaimed my living room.

I love this space...so peaceful, so inviting, etc.
I'm so grateful that my men did this for me, so that I could have my own wonderful retreat.

I have lots of pics.


Wow!!! that is awesome. You are one loved lady!! Kudos to the men that made it happen!

I can't decide if I am more impressed by the space or the stash. It is SO much nicer than one would expect when you start out saying it started as a shed. Beautiful!

Looks like you have made good use of your space. I know you will enjoy your little creative studio. Guess hubby needs a big hug!!

Most of the fabric is for upholstery and curtains....not quilts....some of you have unbelievable quilting stashes.

I love your space and am envious but thought you might find this interesting........I have a piece of antique furniture that I am going to refinish and use in my sewing room. It is almost identical to yours. Thought you might like to see it. Yours is is much better shape than mine though!

Antique cabinet to be refinished for sewing room.
