I've kind of gotten used to having my sewing tables back to back while I was scraping/painting around them so I think I'll leave them that way for now. When I'm quilting on my Juki 2010q I can use the other table for extra space. Against the back wall is my cutting table where the only overhead light is located.
The only solid wall in the room will be used for design wall space. I'm thinking 2 4' x 8' boards covered in white flannel leaning up against the wall. I like the idea of being able to move them around for taking photos which was suggested by one of my blog readers.The other corner is storage with leftover furniture from my daughter's room. Look at the sun streaming in that south facing window!
When my big cutting table is assembled I'll rearrange again. The red cube you see on top of the dresser is one of 4 that will fit into the base IKEA Expedit units - I just had to put one together to see how it would look! Here is my prototype picture again from IKEA Hackers.
And of course I've got some things to hang on the wall but I think it will take a while to get up the nerve to pound holes in my pristine walls. I'm also going to be replacing those light fixtures at some point.
Here are my yellow charms laid out to start making blocks for RSC13 - so fitting that June's color matches up to new yellow room. At last, time to sew!

I bet you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in such a pretty room. Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely space and it looks like you have a Room with a view! Nice little scraps of sunshine.
ReplyDeleteYour room looks wonderful! I love your cutting table. I used Ikea cabinets for my cutting table too--they work great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sewing space. Looks like you are ready to create!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful space....still loving that color! Try some of the 3M removable hooks for hanging things.....they have lots of differ styles and weights now and no holes!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and so tidy. That never lasts long in my space
ReplyDeleteLove your new room and the idea of doing the design wall in 2 parts. I look forward to seeing that new cutting table cause I know it is going to be great I have been looking at that Ikea hack for a while.
ReplyDeletethe result looks like it was worth the hard work. The color is so soft and pretty. That cutting table idea just makes me drool with envy. Enjoy your new space.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful, soft wall color. You might consider using old broken needles to hang pictures, etc. They make much smaller holes....but holes nevertheless. Show more photos when you're all done. I'm curious about those Ikea pieces.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so nice and cheerful Deb! Definitely conducive to being happily creative :*) I have the two 4x8 boards as a design wall and move them from room to room or into the light for photos. Bulky but doable. And I put batting on mine instead of flannel. Fabric sticks to it like glue! It's more expensive but works great. I love your IKEA table - wow!!! *as jealousy rears it's ugly head!*
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new room! It is so bright and spacious! Love the Ikea pieces!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great space! Enjoy : )
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous room, so light and spacious

ReplyDeleteWow. Love your new sewing area. Beautiful yellow fabrics, too :D
ReplyDeleteoooo! very nice. I am like you, wondering how soon I will want to put nails in the wall. They look pretty good all nice an clean. I hope to have my floors done next weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful (and clean and organized) space! Lovely cheerful yellow strips you have to play with. Enjoy sewing in your nice and sunlit room.
ReplyDeleteNICE!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting/sewing space is perfect! What I like about it is you have space to move around in it. I can really drool over your cutting space.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Deb, your new quilt room is beautiful, love all the light coming in! I always like my sewing machines back to back so I have the extra quilting room. Thanks for sharing.
