Progress Report…

YIKES!!  What a MESS!

P1230658

Here’s my sewing room…or rather what’s left of it!  The wall is down and the carpet has been ripped up!  Today’s job…plastering all the holes and MAYBE start the painting!

This room use to be a billiard room…but we sold the pool table and put up the wall.  The blue room became my eldest daughter’s bedroom and the other side became the girls’ playroom…aka Barbie’s hangout!

When the girls left home…Barbie’s room became my exercise room and the bedroom became my sewing room!!  (Ya see, there is life after kids!!)

Yes, the exercise corner stays!  I DO use it, thanks to the arthritis in my back!  So now my new big Sewing Room will be known as my Play Room…which is what we called it when the kids were little!  Hmmm…I wonder if that means that Barbie will want to come back for a reunion…or perhaps a little quilt making?

Yes, there is light at the tunnel…isn’t there?

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!  (I hope that you ignored the dust…!) ~P

  5. It's gonna be awesome! And, thanks for the advice, there is life after the kids leave. My son will be leaving in 2 weeks and I will be home alone for the first time ever. But, I will now have a sewing room!!! Wohoo!!! Excited about that. :)

  13. How exciting! You're going to love the extra room.

    Just think about how much more fabric and other quilt-related stuff you'll be able to fit in there now. Woo hoo!

    Can't wait for the final reveal!

  14. I am thinking of all the fabric that could be stored in the space the exercise equipment takes up. You would get lots of excercise reaching into all the bins of fabric.

  15. What a wonderful wonderful space you will have. Hang in there it won't be long and you'll be sewing/stitching away in your own little playhouse. Maybe Barbie will come back to see the changes lol.
