You must read how I am getting a sewing room!

Today I sold a bedroom suite from one of my guest rooms - sorry guests - no bed... ;) and now am getting a room just for sewing!
I advertised it on Craigslist and didn't get any bites, so I looked at my ad and decided to change my pictures that showed the mattress in perfect condition - I would 'stage' the furniture (saw it on TV - duh). So I added bedspread and pillows took new pictures, raised the price $500 and it sold the next day!
I immediatly began painting the trim white and am still deciding on a new color and window treatments. At Paducah I ordered a new Koala cabinet (the taller model) with lift for my machine so it will really be nice.

Yea! (Maybe I should do that with the baby furniture!)
Congrats on your "new" room. The guests will just have to get over not having a sleeping spot.

Oh it sounds wonderful. Enjoy.

I am happy for you...have fun setting up your sewing room! We want pictures when you are finished....okay?

Yeah for you!!!

Congrats Bev...you're one smart gal! Can't wait to see your cabinet and room!

looking forward to pictures as you go!!!!

Way to go! TV really can be educational after all! Can't wait to see pics!

Fantastic!!!!! You will love having a dedicated sewing space!!!!! Can't wait for pics!!!

GREAT for you, Bev! And congratulations on your successful sale... Gotta remember that staging trick!

congrats on the sale and the beginning of your sewing room.

So happy for you Beverly that is going to be wonderful can't wait to see the pictures.

You will love it all.

congratulations! I can't wait to see pictures of your new 'studio'!!!!

That's awesome! So glad for you! I have enough space but I don't have a dedicated room to sewing only...

What a great idea!
I do have a question though. If there are actual people living in the guest room, can I boot them out along with the furniture?
Oh all right. I suppose I already know the answer to that.

Hugs,

I'd like to share this, if I may. I came way under my sewing room budget, by re-purposing an L shaped countertop (my good buddy renovates kitchens for wealthy people when they tire of them) and using heavy duty 20"X13" shelf brackets (purchased at Home Depot) to hold a VERY gently-used countertop in place. I LOVE my space. And I would highly recomend this cost saving method! As it would happen, my camera is out of memory, and I have no idea how to clear pics....
My Best to you, Bev, on your new project!

That is a great idea! One of my very good friends has a wonderful space like yours. I am planning to take my time and get it right. Since we bought our home, the trim has yellowed (oil based I am told) and when the furniture was removed it showed, so that was my starting point. While painting trim I must have changed wall colors half a dozen times and with that, different window treatments too. Oh this is going to be fun!

Since telling you about selling the bedroom suite i have really been busy getting my new room ready to move all my sewing loot into.
I painted walls and trim. Then decided to exchange rooms with the larger guest room. So, moved the bedroom furniture into the smaller room. Then I painted the larger guest - now sewing room an off white called Alpaca, and the ceiling the lightest blue (so light you would never know its blue - so next week I am putting up crown molding painted white) Friday i had carpet removed and a new laminate floor installed, so today I moved my Koala sewing table and have begun the big move to my sewing studio! No pictures yet but it is transforming beautifully!

So cool for you!! I had a dedicated sewing room when my 2nd born moved out but then it wasn't just a few months later we needed the room again. So I am back to the sunroom. It's only my sewing stuff but I liked having a door on my sewing room so much better. When I needed to I could just shut the world out! lol

Can't wait to see the pics. I may just have to take over the spare room after the first of the year.

Yay!! Sounds like fun...but not as much fun as sewing in it! You will absolutely love having your own space.
