Lets start from the beginning. When we were building our house, we needed more square footage for our "covenants" so we decided to go "up" instead of out. We planned a large room upstairs that we now call "The Loft." It's just a large room we use for meetings, studying, sleepovers, etc. In the process of framing this room, the framers framed in another smaller room that was suppose to just be a "box window" placed on the roof for aesthetic value. YES! An unplanned room! MINE! I Called It! And thus, my sewing room :)
Fast forward a year or two, and we sheet rocked and painted the room.....periwinkle blue with white trim. LOVE IT! And added a Pergo-style floor. However, other than throwing in an old table and my sewing stuff, that was it.
Fast forward again to this fall. My hubby asking what I wanted for Christmas. A sewing room. Yes, that's what I want.
I spent time cruising through pics, etc. My absolute favorite is over at Sew Many Ways.
Seriously? What's not to love?!
However...back to reality. Remember, I have a smaller room. We opted for hanging white cabinets and installing a counter top sewing table with under the cabinet lighting.
Just updating you. Pics of my finished project will be posted as soon as I get it all figured out.
Oh...and another plus. I have found a few unfinished projects. Including a bag for carrying Barbie dolls and all the "stuff" that goes with them. My youngest daughter (of 4 girls) is in 5th grade. Soooo...how long has this project been sitting there? Let's just say I have moved it twice....as in to two different houses. Hmmmm....thinking my 5 year old niece may get it :)
Taking time Making Time for my sewing room. Today, however, is a day for Making Time for making yummies for a football watch party tonight....CottonBowl! Go CATS!
