My New Sewing Room

When we moved into our house, one of the main areas in the basement looked like this:

 And before long, I had transformed it into a space that I really loved.  I painted it my favorite colors and it just seemed to be a comfortable place.  I even bought chairs and repainted the wood black to make a little sitting area.  But it never got used.  It looked nice, but never got used.

 So just last week, we decided to make the space my sewing room!  This is why I refinished my sewing machine table a while back.  And I am loving the change!  Even though there is no door to close, it is nice to have a space all my own.  And decorated the way I chose.

 In time, I hope to clean out the junk from under the stairs and keep some of my bins in there to free up the space (like the one under my work table).  And I also hope to get a window well liner so I can look at something pretty instead of the dirty gray window well.  But all in good time!

For now, I'm just happy to have put this space to good use. 

This has been all part of our downstairs transformation!  The bathroom was next and that transformation was HUGE.  Pictures of that to come.  Other plans are in the works.  The new year always brings out the "clean up, change things around, fix and paint" bug in Todd and me.  And I've sure been enjoying it.
