A couple of years ago I decided it was time to stop using the dining table and move to the spare non-functional music/bedroom. I am posting the before and after photos.

One reason this transformation took so long was I have had 2 major surgeries during this time. I also lost my dear dad on my birthday in January this year.

There is still work to be done but I can now not only enter the room but sew in it as well. I have begun to take daddy's shirts and start making quilted wall hanging for each of my siblings and for the nieces and nephews that are grown. I will be posting photos of my progress shortly. I will add that DH has commented about what great therapy this had been for me since I now have my own "woman cave".

good job!

Good for you! Sorry that you have had all the problems/losses that you have had. My spare bedroom really got out of hand when my mom died and it's been hard for me to part with "stuff", I feel your pain. When I can get through that, I will have a sewing room/cave also. Hopefully a winter project!

Looks great. Is your avatar a pic of your DH? :)

Good for you! Sorry about your loss.

Bluegrass people ? Like you wall decorations in pic #3!

My avatar is actually me on certain days! What you don't see on the wall is the instruments that sit on the floor, keyboard, drums etc. MY DD was very upset when the drums moved to her room so I could use the cave.

Good job

great job in getting you a sewing room

You did a great job!

Nice room! Glad you are feeling better and so sorry to hear of your father's passing. It is so hard to lose our parents, no matter our age.

My DH would go nuts if he saw what you have on your wall. He loves guitars and mandolins but can't play to save his life. LOL!!

That is Quite a year! Sorry for your loss and hope you have recouped from your surgeries. Surgeries tire you and your body out - a lot.

Your room looks good. Happy sewing!

Good for you!

Oh that is wonderful! Have a great time creating. Thanks for sharing.

Your room looks great! In spite of all you've been experiencing in your life, you are moving forward, and I am glad you are sharing this with us!
Blessings to you!
