The Perfect Sewing Room

It's finally here....The Perfect Sewing room post! I know you all have been waiting with baited breath! (what does that even mean?) I will keep you in suspense no longer! First though, I must show you the 2 photos I have of the perfect sewing room taken 12 years ago. It will give you an idea of what I was going for. You will be amazed at how simple it all really is....very uncluttered and just "nice" and "clean" feeling. This is the view when you are walking in the door.

 And this is the view from the windows. It doesn't show, but the sewing machine is in the center of the table.

I was able to accomplish much the same feel, however, I do believe, with the fresh paint, and new carpet, it is much improved! Here is the current view as you come in the door.

Are you swooning?? I am!!! Can it BE any prettier??? Yes it can!! Let's move on. A view from the closet wall.

 And a view from the window wall.

Remember how I told you this room has 5 walls? Well, I guess that was an exaggeration...it has 4 walls, and this semi wall where you will find the door. It gives it the 5 wall feel when the door is closed. (Notice the switch plate cover....it is a quilt design and was in this room 12 years ago. It's those little things that make the difference!)

A piece of furniture new to the room, is this cupboard my mom gave me. I keep larger pieces of fabrics here.

 Here is a view of the only other corner I haven't shown you.

Some of my favorite parts of this room include.....

This AWESOME macrame plant hanger, given to me by my Weight Watcher girlfriend, Melody. She made it herself! This little plant was starving for an environment just like this one. I could almost hear it sigh with pleasure as I hung it near the window! I want to hang another one in here too....with a Spider plant.

My curtains!! I made these valances when I got this room 12 years ago. They are darling, and since they were only used 3 months, they are like brand new...they incorporate my favorite things....quilting and Bible verses!

This little basket of quilts, with the handmade sign, Sweetheart made me more than 15 years ago.

I have lots of empty wall space, so some of these will get hung eventually. I am enjoying the clutter-free feeling for now. 

I love how this new piece of furniture fit right in....and it hides my television (which I didn't have back then).

 Let's not forget the closet....it is a sewing room's best friend! I was able to hang my stencils, and rulers and keep it semi- organized looking. My design wall is just propped up against the back wall so it can become portable if need be.

 And my favorite wall in the room. This is pretty close to looking like it did all those years ago. Added, are pictures of grandchildren that were not here back then. My grandmother's sewing basket sits under the old cabinet machine, reminding me of how someday, Emerson may have a sewing room of her own, with some of her Grandmother's treasures scattered around.

So there it is. My idea of The Perfect Sewing Room. I can not tell you how thankful I am for an amazing husband, who, when he sees my desire, does whatever he can to make it happen! Thank you Sweetheart!! I love you!!!
