Or, in other words,
my NEW office/sewing room/work space.
Here's a reminder of what this room was like
when I started the renovations.
It's the downstairs bedroom,
to the left of the front door when
you enter the house.
A look at the plaster
walls after the wallpaper
was stripped away.
The walls in this room were
in fairly good shape and
the crown molding was already there.
Looking in from the entrance at the front door.
This is the view from my desk
to the front outside.
There's a pretty little cottage style
garden just outside the window
which has been in bloom with
different flowers since I've been here.
My old corner desk fit nicely into one corner of the room.
Can you see my sheep lamp on the side?
Isn't this a great lamp?
Particularly for me?
Before I moved I did a bit of
tweaking to my work table.
I chalk painted the bottom and legs.
I also put extenders at the bottom of each leg,
boosting the table up about six inches.
Since I do most of my fabric cutting here,
it's much easier on my back.
The extra height also provides a bit more
storage for underneath the table.
The bins underneath roll out
and their tops make a great storage space
for shipping bags.
The secret to this room
is using every available square inch of space.
So the space behind the door
has become a mini closet,
storing yarn.
Speaking of using every inch of space...
behind this closet door...
...is a craft closet to die for!
The shelves were already there,
so I didn't have to do a thing
except fill them up.
This was meant to be!
This white wicker chest with shelves,
first came to live with me
as a chest for my daughter Kate,
as a newborn.
Then it became a storage chest
in a bathroom at my next house.
Now it has become storage
for trays of color coordinated yarns.
Remember this chalk painted wardrobe
from a previous post?
It has made the move and now lives
in my workroom.
It provides "storage"
for some of my favorite baskets...
Not to mention a bit of fabric!
Daisy's new bedroom is also
quartered here.
Do you spy it beside my desk?
She particularly likes having her space
in the same place I spend most of my time!
Although she doesn't look it,
she's quite happy at her new home.
As I am too!
