Please don't paint the pine - it is beautiful. Sheetrock is everywhere, knotty pine is uinque. Lucky you. Would love to have that much space.
|
:thumbup: looks good to me and as long as youre happy
|
Wow Mike! It is perfect I would kill for that room and I wouldn't cover up the pine it is beautiful. I hope you and your friends enjoy your new hiding place.
|
WOW!!!!! It's wonderful.
I just realized you are are Cedar Rapids. "Can I move In?" Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!! I do laundry and love to iron fabric. |
WOW your room looks great. I love it. I have knotty pine in my room also and am going to paint it. Hubby is not happy about it but hey I love light and it is just to dark. You will love having your own room. You did good...
|
Lucky you!
|
What a great room. My sewing area is in the basement also. I love it because if I don't feel like cleaning up after sewing, I don't have to. No one else goes down there unless they are looking for me. :thumbup:
|
Beauty of a room...looks so inviting ....lots of good work going to be done there.
|
Looks real good to me.
|
That room is sooo nice, you should enjoy it with your friends and don't change a thing.. My sewing room is very small, but cozy and I can reach everything..I am blessed just to have it..
|
great setup ! Know you're going to be happy with space! Mine is an 4x4 area so far...Lol
|
wow!! It is nice. I sew in our basement too, and love it. like you said, it is nice and cool in the summer and the wood stove keeps it warm in the winter.
|
not much but I LOVE it! |
I am so jealous! I love your space!! I have about a 15ft by 20ft room that I share with the computer / office. AWW... someday when the kids are grown. (don't want to rush em)
|
Nice!
|
knotty pine look good .it can be expensive terring out panling.i have it all over my house it was built in the 60's. and has plaster behind it so instead of tearing it out i purchased some plaster patch and put it in the spaces and smoth off.than sand after apintring it looks just like dry wall not as much time and expense
|
I think it's a beautiful sewing studio! Great job setting it up. And I love the knotty pine..it's gorgeous.'
|
OH MY, That is nice you have lots of room. It's always good when you have your things together and can leave them out.
|
You are soooo lucky :-D
|
I think you have done a great job and have been very resourceful. The former post was right about the knotty pine. It is hot now! I love that your room is so open. Thanks for showing it to us. .

So I've been trying to get things put together for awhile.

Anyway this is a hodge podge of items left over from when we purchased our new house. The previous owner passed away and they left most of the possesions in the house. It's a combination of old kitchen tables and and island from the kitchen before we remodeled it (which btw works GREAT as a cutting table). Old lamps, etc....but hey nice to be able to repurpose it instead of putting it in the landfill. :) I still want to paint the knotty pine (the entire basement, and kitchen were knotty pine)And someday I will drywall the basement and make it more of an acctual from....but right now I want to spend that money on a frame to put on the opposite wall :) At first I was kinda not excited about having the basment, but I am able to spread out, and it's nice and cool in the summer here. Anyway here it is....not much but I LOVE it! :) |
I think it is really nice. Roomy too! I would be proud of it.
|
Wow it must be like heaven to have so moch room.
|
Its great, lots of space
|
Fantastic space....great how you could re-use some of the existing bits and pieces. Now for some quilts to cover those walls....
|
My entire shirt is wet from my jealous slobbering! :twisted:
May you have many many many happy hours in your new "etage" sewing area. |
<<<....it's not a decorating triumph....>>>
Does one decorate a sewing room???? I thought that was what stash piles are for! Love your room, BTW |
Fabulous sewing room!!! Very spacious! I have a very small room and consequently have stashes in3 other rooms!! Great job! Enjoy!!
|

LOL Don't apologize. Quilters are never judgemental. Jealous/Envy...yes, and anxious to see the creations/creativity that comes out of that room. |
This a way cool sewing studio. I love it!!!
|
That's a great space, especially with that flat screen and two sweet sewing machines! And, re-using is a great idea!

It's a great room, spacious and open. What's not to like? Lots of room to spread out and be creative.

What a great room you have. I just love knotty pine and would keep it. It's really nice that you have friends to quilt with. Thanks for mentioning the batting on Joann's the other day. I ordered it on line and had 50% off. Joyce Ann

I only wish for a studio like that one ... would be nice with my new longarm machine though ...
|
Looks good to me. Light, bright, organized.
I'll give you the knotty pine out of my kitchen if you come get it. I hate it. Alway's catching my nails on the seams and ripping them. |
it looks pretty great to me! I have a small 6'x6' room (actually a repurposed storage closet) that is my sewing area so I am totally jealous.
|
I'm sew jealous of your BASEMENT!!! I'd get a divorce and move to have that basement. I live in FL., NO basements here,lol!! I guess I'd rethink the divorce(he's a great guy), but I would move!! Do you need a roommate?
|
a friend of mine has a "studio" she bought- it is shaped like a tea pot on the outside, complete with spout. It is so cute. she wanted to sell it, but it wasn't big enough to quilt in.
I like your basement work space. It is really neat. |
