Studio Reset!
 

We moved into our house 5 years ago and I threw my studio together. I didn't have the time to organize anything or make it "work". So I decided that this spring was the time to get it together.

The first picture was the BEFORE picture (I won't bore you with a panagraph view - the rest of the room was a bad as this).

The second picture - I tore everything out of the room EVERYTHING. And then rebuilt it from the ground up.

The third picture is the finished wall of stash. I still have a definite need for more space but this looks pretty good to me. I can SEE my fabrics!!

And the fourth picture is the area where I sew. I have the bench under the window (where the cat likes to lay and nap). I have another project laying on it - ready to finish.

Thanks for looking!

I know when I re-did my room, and then took another bedroom and made it the cutting and ironing room, I slept better at night because of the organization. Won't ever go back to digging stuff out of totes. Even if I have to leave things astray after finishing a project or have to walk away from it all for awhile, I go down there every now and then, straighten it all up and I feel so much better. Your studio looks very inviting!

Wow! Wonderful place and great work getting it that way!

Kudos to your for finally achieving what you've wanted to do for a very long time. It looks great. Thanks for sharing your success with us.

Carrie,

That was a time consuming chore I am sure, but it looks very neat. All those pretty fabrics. Where's the cat? I really like cats and enjoy the avatars and pictures with cats in them.

Awesome! Isn't it GREAT to have a nice, clean space all your own to sew in? I have the space... now I just need to make it clean again... LOL! Thanks for showing us your new space!

Fabulous order to your room now - so nice and inviting. Thanks for taking the time to show it to us.

Awesome!!!!!

Carrie! You used the Easy Cores here? Wow! What a difference. Doesn't it inspire you to new levels now? Love it! Love it!

Wow, that is just gorgeous. Love what you did.

Just wonderful, great job and thank you for sharing Have a Blessed day Ellen

A clean room is so much fun to mess up!! Your room is so nice :)

I noticed you have a cutting table from JoAnn's. I have one and it is so wobbly I wonder if it is going to collapse. Do you have any suggestions on how to make it more sturdy. I really like it but needs to be more stable.

You did a fantastic job.

It's beautiful. How long did it take you? I'm sure you find it more peaceful and fun to look at it, but in truth, while it was a bit "catywampus" before, I didn't think the before was "THAT" bad. ;0

How wonderful to have a space like that to create in!

Worth all the effort you put into organizing. You did a great job and created the ideal studio!

Talk about spring cleaning! Wow! You did a great job! Now your creative side can have a whole new perspective!

It looks wonderful. It's so hard to keep our sewing rooms in order. Because every time we work in there, we mess it up again. You have a wonderful sewing room. Thanks for sharing.

Sew very nice and inviting. Thanks for sharing.

Want to come over and organize me???

Wow! What wonderful projects you can do now without "looking" for you things! Nice job!!

Now that was some work! Love it.

Wow, you did a great job! I know that was a lot of work! But don't it feel good to get it done!

Don't you just feel lighter? I so need to do this and I know I would be more productive. Right now I have misplaced a critical piece for a border and I know it is there "somewhere". Good job.

looks great! and my cats would love to nap there too . . .nice spot

How nice! You've done a great job at organizing. It does feel good, once it's done. Congrats!

Love the redo and the bench under the window. My closet where I keep my stash and patterns, looks just like the first picture. I am in the process of giving some to a lady on freecycle.org that wants to learn to sew.

Great job, enjoy it!

Looks like a great place to work in-

Wow!! What a transformation...always makes for a better sewing experience! Thanks for sharing!

What a great job. Isn't it so much more fulfilling when things are neat & tidy & you can find things? Lovely room.
Miss the cat.

I love your playground, how inviting. Where did you get the wire shelves? I got some when a store went out of business but could use more. DH cut some Masonite to fit the bottoms so the fabrics don't get imprints from the wire.

piney

it looks great! wanna come and do mine?:o

such a beautiful well organized place to create in! love your room! i am still working out of totes in a very small room, small enough that i can't even leave my ironing board down, and i can't WAIT until i can revamp the boy's room and the extra bedroom into one great big sewing space someday!

You're room looks fantastic. I have tried to redo my room last week. When I went to move the bookshelf just a few inches the whole thing fell apart. Now I have quilting magazines all along the wall's baseboards. It's amazing how things just go from 1 to 100 in no time at all. I love your room. I know you will have a great time spending time there.

Wow, now I need a nap! Looking at all that hard work has just plain tuckered me out!

Very nice.

What are easy cores?
