Sewing room redo
 
6 Attachment(s)
My son spent the last two days redoing my sewing room. Started by taking my commercial Singer to the shed. Too large for my small room--especially since I bought my Janome 7700. Bought two tables at IKEA for the sewing machine. One he put castors on to raise it for cutting. the other he cut a hole in the top to fit my 7700 and a shelf below to put the 7700 on in order to recess it. Moved the computer equipment to the wall the Singer 191 had been on. And now, I have the world's best sewing room--for me.

I should add that my dad painted the pictures.

Nice room. Now you are ready to get started. I love the picture with the clothes hanging on the line.

Jo M 11-10-2011 04:16 PM

It looks great! That's one handy son you have there. Love the clothes line painting.

Will you share him for, oh say, a week or two? My sewing rooms (all three!) need reorganizing really bad!!
He did a good job!

It'sJustMe 11-10-2011 05:29 PM

Is it OK to say you have one handsome son?

I like the idea of castors on a table - you can pull it out into your room to work from all sides if needed, mostly when cutting out garments. Think Ill swing on over to Ikea...

You found paradise, love the paintings. There is more than just one artist in your family!

athomenow 11-10-2011 07:00 PM

Oh I would love it if someone could do that for me. What a gift of love that is. If he wants to come here for a visit I'll cook for him!!

Wow! You are one lucky lady! What a wonderful son you have! That is a wonderful place to create! Congrats and enjoy!

Can I borrow your son? Just kidding :). You have a talented family, great. Love your room.

mamaw 11-10-2011 07:22 PM

Ohhhh, I am jealous!!!! Wouldn't I love to have a table like that for my Horizon. You lucky girl...enjoy.

Looks like artistic talent runs in the family. What a good son. Your room is wonderful and your son did a great job. Your Dad's paintings are very nice.

Nice space!!!
It's always great to get some help with these projects.
Enjoy your room. :thumbup:

I see hubby using a jig saw. My hubby also owns a hand held battery operated skill saw. He uses it constantly. May a xmas gift for your hubby. Lowes have them at Christmas along with a battery operated drill. Best 2 pieces her ever bought. He has 45 years of building experience. Both go for about $129.00. DeWalt is the brand.

Kas 11-11-2011 02:07 AM

What a good boy! He did a great job, too.

TracyRenea 11-11-2011 02:20 AM

Such a blessing to have someone to create the perfect space. Enjoy!

I'm really liking your sewing room. The space doesn't look small at all.

fidgety 11-11-2011 04:53 AM

GREAT.. Do you think I could borrow your son to come make my small room look that good? lol

irquilter 11-11-2011 04:59 AM

What a nice space for you! Nice too to be surrounded by works of love! I love IKEA!

Tweety2911 11-11-2011 05:05 AM

Your DS is a treasure! Beautiful work! Love your room. Happy Quilting!

Sunnie 11-11-2011 05:05 AM

I think you should start a business...Rent A Son. Many of us could use his talents. Great job.

quiltinghere 11-11-2011 05:05 AM

That's a great sewing room you have! Wonderful son and smart too....seems he realizes how important that room is to his mom.

Boy I have to get to Ikea one of these days...those are great tables!

dd55 11-11-2011 05:05 AM

what a nice sewing room you have now. and a handy and handsome son.

Marni 11-11-2011 05:19 AM

Great room-I especially love the paintings

jillnjo 11-11-2011 05:37 AM

Lucky you and now enjoy it every day!!

pollyjvan9 11-11-2011 05:46 AM

What a great room. Aren't sons handy, mine built a lot of shelves in one of my closets not long ago and it holds so much more. I really like the quilt on the wall with the horses. Do you mind if I use that idea? Also, your Dad is also very talented, his paintings are wonderful.

Pieces2 11-11-2011 06:03 AM

A great sewing room. Hope you fixed him a wonderful home cooked meal for all the work he did.
I'd say its time to sew!

oma66 11-11-2011 06:28 AM

Very nice room. I like your Dad's paintings as well, especially the one of the clothes line.

Tartan 11-11-2011 06:58 AM

I had a chuckle over your Dad's painting with the panties on the inside line? My granny always did that. Heaven forbid any one should see her unmentionables. Great upgrade on your sewing room and what a great son you have to do that for you!

Nice times 3
 
Nice sewing room, nice son, and nice paintings. I also have a couple of things that my Dad made. It's comforting to have them around.
