14 sewing room progress.

6.22.2011

Pictures of my sewing room with its new pretty paint color are long overdue.  In all honesty it's been too much of a mess lately to even think of bringing a camera in here!  But I cleaned up a bit yesterday so I can finally share it with you.
It's still a work in progress... there is currently a naked lightbulb hanging from the ceiling right now, a half painted dresser in our basement waiting to be placed along the left wall of the picture below, a design wall that is mostly built and ready to be hung, and of course I want to hang artwork and some additional shelves to make it a little more functional.  But the aqua is gone and it isn't painful for me to walk in this room anymore!
Eventually I'd like shelves all the way up the wall where I have my fabric storage now, maybe a couple of white Expedit units from IKEA?  Oh, how I miss being able to drive 20 minutes to spend hours in that store.
Can you tell which colors I'm lacking in my stash?  It was pretty obvious after I finally arranged everything by color.  I have almost no purple prints, which is funny since it's one of my favorite colors (after gray, of course)!
The color on the walls is Behr Grape Cream, and I love it!  It is the perfect shade of gray with just a hint of purple.  I love the way the white shelves pop against it.
Of course I'll share more pictures once the room is finished!  Hopefully by the end of the summer.

  2. Thank you for sharing pictures of your work space. It looks wonderful. I'm going through my own, MAJOR, re-organization right now and it's taking me forever but I hope that the end result will be a useful and comfortable, happy work space.

  4. The room looks great! We are moving into our new house next week and I'll have a sewing/guest room to set up for the first time. I love the gray. I was wondering what your cutting table is? Did you use shelving units and put a wooden table on top for a cutting surface? I finally have the chance to do my cutting somewhere other than the dining room table and I am looking for ideas :)

  8. The shelves do look great against that paint. Hmm... looks like you need more yellow/orange too. I use those up the fastest (or buy them the slowest, one of those at least!).
