I realize it's been a while since I posted, but I've been so busy after returning from Colorado. When we arrived home, the floor was installed and the work was basically completed. I had been looking and looking for a worktable and couldn't find anything I was satisfied with, so I asked the contractor to build me one so that I had exactly what I wanted. I love it! And the great thing is it's on wheels, so I can position it anywhere in the room that want. Two large shelving units hold ![]()
all of the folded fabric. Everything is now out in the open, folded neatly, (thank you Etchie), and available. Love the steel shelving. Nice and Clean.
As of right now, this is the configuration for all the sewing that takes place. I have already changed it around several times, but this seems to work for now. I bought a new TV and had it mounted so that I can watch while I am cutting out or sewing.
I also made a little center for art projects (feel like I'm back in school again with all of these "centers". ) The table was an old one but sturdy. The legs were in bad shape, so I covered them with multicolored rope to cover up the bad parts, then painted the whole thing white, and put it on rollers also. I like the way it came out.
On the back wall I have a set of cubbies (school once again!), where I keep my magazines and some patterns. The CD player and XM radio is here along with all my music. I actually listen to music
much more than watch TV. I also have a chair and table here for reading, or just dreaming...The chair is a project "in the works".
At the last minute I decided to make a separate area for my laptop and "office" supplies etc., and this is along the side wall. The dry erase board is handy for ideas that pop into my head while I'm sewing, or reminding myself of things that need to be done. The large bulletin board (which is probably going to be redone and expanded in the near future) is my inspiration board and has a little bit of everything on it. I love my room!
Oh! And look what happened in the old narrow workroom. At one end I set up a packaging station for Ebay and gift wrapping, and at the other end close to the door I organized the few puny tools that we own.
Love everything! Now, let me go fix a glass of sweet tea, pick up a magazine, and turn on my music. Do Not Disturb!
