Whew - It's finished!

Let me take you on a tour of the finished room!

 

Here's where I store all of my bolts of fabric.

 

I'll use the drafting table when I start working on the new quilt that is running around in my head. The black table is my die cutting station. The contraption on the wall between the quilt and the art shelf is my AC/heating unit.

 

Moving on down the wall, you can see more fabric on these shelving units. The "full" unit is all of my personal stuff. Believe it or not, I donated about a third of my personal fabrics when I was cleaning out the original sewing room!

 

Here's a picture that shows my awesome cutting table! 





 

Moving to the other side of the room, we have my trunk show on display. I ordered two stadium lockers and my contractor attached them to the wall and added the extra rods in between the two units.

 

The only request that Allen had for the new room was that he wanted a sitting area so that he can come out here and read. Right now we are using the rocking chairs that came from our grandparents. Our cat, Creamsicle, LOVES this rug!

 

 

You can see where I put the toybox that my sister and I recovered last summer. I'm using it to store my personal patterns. Our other cat, Ella, likes to sleep up on top of it with the bunny rabbit.

Almost done!

We are down to the last little details. We've had a few hiccups along the way - the wrong sized door and the air conditioner had to be swapped out, but we are almost finished. The walls have been painted a very happy shade of blue.

We need a few sunny days to finish up the outside painting. However, they have been able to work under the covered patio when it is raining. I decided to have the covered patio's ceiling painted a bright blue to test out the theory that it keeps the birds and bugs away. Hopefully, it will work!

The flooring is going in today. But before it's all put down, I'm following a friend's advice. I've written my favorite scripture verse on the concrete.

As I was sitting here typing this, my IKEA furniture order arrived! I will be busily putting all of the furniture together for the new sewing room so that we can start moving in by the end of next week!
