Whoo hoo! My furniture got here this morning and I spent all day putting it together. I still need to do some more organizing and do something about those messy cords. :lol:

Okay--it's waaaaayy too neat. :wink: It needs some strips strewn about, some fat quarters laying around, thread pieces sprinkled on the floor....it's getting there. :lol:

Seriously--it's just beautiful. I'd like to hang out there. :D

mgshaw 06-20-2008 05:31 PM

I can help out in that department....messing it up! PA-LEEZE?? Let me help? lol

Your room looks great!
My room WOULD look like that but alas....i'm a bit of a slob when I get to sewing. It gets cleaned up once I am done.
Hubby actually walked in the room the other night and says...Honey, I think I need to "field day" your room.
I told him if he touched ANYTHING before I finished what I was doing, he's be missing some body parts! lol

sewnsewer2 06-20-2008 07:03 PM

Thanks. Shoot, I haven't had time to mess it up yet, I just did all this today. :lol:

But, there's always tomorrow and believe me, I can sure mess it up! :lol:

PamH 06-20-2008 07:07 PM

If you do a search here, you will find pictures of my messy room. Someone wanted to know what my sewing room looked like, so I took pictures and showed them. It was quite an embarrassment, but you can tell the room is used.
I have gone to people's homes and had them show me their sewing rooms. Everything is stacked neatly and nicely. Makes me wonder HOW they ever find anything! lol
Even with my room messy, I can find what I want...usually..........:)

Elsie 06-20-2008 08:52 PM

jbsstrawberry 06-20-2008 09:48 PM

What a wonderful sewing room!!! Congrats!!!! I WISH my chords looked that neat!! LOL

beachlady 06-21-2008 03:38 AM

Wow, so clean and neat. I am looking forward to a larger sewing room one day. My fabric is all over - upstairs, downstairs, washing machine, out on the clothesline. To have everything in one room. Looks great. Post some more after you start sewing again.

Bevanger 06-21-2008 04:30 AM

Way Cool. I could love it. Mine is so messy..... Have fun with your new play area

Catherine 06-21-2008 04:36 AM

3incollege 06-21-2008 05:43 AM

It looks great Where did you get all your furniture from? Is it Ikea?

Harmony 06-21-2008 06:50 AM

Looks gorgeous. Do I count FOUR sewing machines????

DA Mayer 06-21-2008 07:52 AM

I'm still waiting for someone to come organize my room for me. sigh.....

I think I might have time to come in Sept Terri, just get the ticket and I'll be there :lol: :lol: :lol:

DA Mayer 06-21-2008 07:55 AM

redrummy 06-21-2008 09:29 AM

looks great. mine will never be that neat or empty. I cannot seem to get order in here. :mrgreen:

sewnsewer2 06-21-2008 01:15 PM

Thanks ya'll.

Yes, 3incollege, it is from IKEA (except for the tall white cabinet). It's called vika tore and the legs (which you can't see) are vika curry. The table tops are called vika amon.

Yes Harmony, you see 4 machines. 1 is a serger, and 1 is an embroidery/sewing machine combo and then 2 sewing machines.

gcathie 06-21-2008 09:45 PM

My goodness what a nice neat room...I'd send photo's but I'm to ashamed...mine is a mess but I know where things are so don't touch a thing...ha ha

Marcia 06-22-2008 05:52 PM

I love your nice new neat room. We want to see it again in about 6 months and see if it is still so clean :wink:

I have a question-those two lamps with the green shades-are the bases filled with buttons?

sewnsewer2 06-22-2008 06:49 PM

Thanks. It's not so clean today, I've been embroidering all day. :lol:

Marcia those lamps are filled with flat bottomed marbles in blue, green & clear. My hubby made them. I think the lamps are made from wine bottles. He has made almost all of the lamps in our house.

Chele 06-22-2008 06:57 PM

Wow! What a beautiful sewing space! And you're in sewing machine heaven with all those cool machines. I hope you have so much fun and show us lots of pictures! Make something! LOL!

What a neat idea. And what a great hubby for making lamps for you!! I love them.

DA Mayer 06-23-2008 05:19 AM

I think it is pretty wonderful for your husband to take an interest in you and your room to make those unique lamps. He sounds like a keeper.

sewnsewer2 06-23-2008 09:12 AM

:lol: I stole them from my livingroom before we re- decorated it, so it worked out well.

reneebobby 06-23-2008 09:33 AM

:lol: :lol: :lol: I love the room and I can picture 1 project on each machine and 1 on the wall, 1 on the cutting board. :lol:

Great room

ania755 08-02-2008 11:14 AM

I love you room. :D ...

bearpaw 08-02-2008 03:23 PM

Good for you! You must be so excited. Gotta love IKEA. Nice stuff, great prices.

jacquemoe 08-02-2008 08:34 PM

How wonderful. Oh, to be so organized and all in one room too.

CissyQuilts 08-02-2008 09:32 PM

That is NICE!!! I love the blue on your walls with the white furniture. :thumbup:
